“Burning Blue” is within the top 25 at radio
Mariah The Scientist’s “Burning Blue” is red hot, and the rising superstar now has a Top 25 hit on the Billboard charts to show for it. “Burning Blue,” the rising superstar’s new single, debuts at No. 25 on the Hot 100 following its release last week — the biggest debut and highest chart placement of Mariah’s career.
The new song, the first chapter in Mariah’s 2025 campaign, dominated the week. “Burning Blue” peaked at No. 1 on Apple Music, making “Burning Blue” the first chart-topping song on the platform by a female soloist this year.
The release of “Burning Blue” was quickly followed by the premiere of its Claire Bishara-directed music video, which quickly surpassed one million views in less than one week and reached a peak of No. 2 on YouTube’s trending list.
The career-best mark for Mariah is indicative of the impressive run she’s been on since releasing To Be Eaten Alive in 2023. She’s slated to play Governors Ball and Lollapalooza this summer following her 41-date sold-out To Be Eaten Alive Tour and has already confirmed that her fourth studio album is on the horizon. “It’s taken many nights to put it together, but it’s done,” the Atlanta native revealed on the Billboard Women in Music 2025 red carpet.
