"Mimi&amp;apos;s turn! It looks like Mariah Carey is taking a page straight out of Beyonce&amp;apos;s playbook. The singer revealed in the new issue of Billboard that she will soon be dropping her 14th album&amp;#x2014;and all of its details&amp;#x2014;using a surprise approach similar to Queen Bey&amp;apos;s. Back in December, the &amp;quot;Drunk In Love&amp;quot; singer made music history when she released her self-titled fifth album with no warning at midnight on Dec. 13.\r\n\r\n&amp;quot;I have to be the one that announces this, especially the title,&amp;quot; Carey, 44, said to Billboard. &amp;quot;[The name is from a] personal possession of mine that&amp;apos;s part of an entity that I&amp;apos;ve had almost all my life.&amp;quot;\r\n&amp;quot;You would think I would be all about the singles-driven situation, and I am in a way, but with this particular album I want my fans to hear it as a body of work,&amp;quot; she continued. &amp;quot;This is my life since we last left off. Just picture a dot dot dot, and then here&amp;apos;s the album.&amp;quot;\r\n\r\nThe mom of two isn&amp;apos;t the only artist to latch onto Beyonce&amp;apos;s successful idea. Last February, hip-hop singer Kid Cudi released his fourth studio alum, Satellite Flight: The Journey to Mother Moon, unexpectedly on iTunes on Feb. 25. &amp;quot;Time to make the world stand still,&amp;quot; he tweeted.\r\n\r\nIt&amp;apos;s yet to be determined if Carey will find the same success as Beyonce with her upcoming album, but that doesn&amp;apos;t seem to be a worry for the diva. &amp;quot;I will always make music,&amp;quot; she said. When asked if she would ever return to TV, she quipped: &amp;quot;I have another project that I&amp;apos;m so very excited about that&amp;apos;s finally coming to fruition.&amp;quot; (Back in May 2013, the &amp;quot;We Belong Together&amp;quot; singer left American Idol after judging for just one season. Nicki Minaj, who she often squabbled with, also exited the FOX series after Season 12.)"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
