I nearly fell out of my chair last week when I heard that the city of Austin had canceled the South by Southwest music, film and technology conference. The cancellation, prompted by a local disaster declaration by Mayor Steve Adler amid growing concerns over the worldwide COVID-19 outbreak, marks the first time in 34 years the March festival will not take place.
When Mariah Carey released the soundtrack to “Glitter” in 2001 — September 11, 2001, to be exact — it flopped. I mean, it was universally viewed as a commercial and critical failure. The album debuted at number seven on the US Billboard 200 chart, it was by far Mariah’s worst first-week performance to date—moving just 116,000 units. At the time, that was abysmal for one of the biggest stars in the world.
