On her Instagram Stories, Carey posted the same clip, but with a frozen countdown ticker, which displayed '19:06:42".
The icon's tease of a new album came the day after she previewed the new single, Sugar Sweet.
Carey gave her fans a sneak peek into the light-hearted track – which features the lyrics: "Imma keep it nice, Imma keep it neat, Imma keep it sugar, Imma keep it sweet" – in a video of her baking something in a kitchen on Jul 19.
In June, Carey achieved an impressive milestone with one of her hit songs.
Over 500 million people listened to 1995 track Fantasy on the music streaming platform, Spotify.
Fantasy was Carey's ninth Number One single on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, and it spent eight weeks at the top from Sep 30 to Nov 18, 1995.
It was also the first single, by a female artist, to debut atop the chart, and only the second single to do so after You Are Not Alone by Michael Jackson.
Carey has now got four songs that have reached this milestone, with the others being the 1994 holiday classic All I Want For Christmas Is You, which has been streamed over two billion times, 2005's We Belong Together, which has been listened to over 777 million times, and 2009's Obsessed, which has totted almost 600 million streams.

Beyonce's Cowboy Carter becomes highest-grossing country tour ever, earning over $514m
Find out what's new on ST website and app. Beyonce performs at her European Cowboy Carter tour in London on June 5. LOS ANGELES - American pop star Beyonce's Cowboy Carter tour is now the highest-grossing country tour of all time with over US$400 million (S$514 million) in revenue, concert organiser Live Nation said in a statement on July 28, citing a story from Billboard magazine. The Cuff It (2022) singer has also become the highest-grossing black artiste of all time and the highest-grossing R&B artiste of all time, Live Nation added. Additionally, the 43-year-old performer has made history as the first woman and American act to have two different tours earning over US$400 million with her Renaissance World Tour in 2023. Beyonce launched the Cowboy Carter tour in Los Angeles on April 28, rolling through Texas Hold 'Em (2024) and other country hits while sharing the stage with her two daughters - Blue Ivy, 13, and Rumi, eight. She also has a twin son Sir, eight, with her husband, American rapper Jay-Z, 55. Beyonce finished the record-breaking tour in Las Vegas on July 26 with special appearances from Jay-Z; her former R&B girl group, Destiny's Child; and American country singer Shaboozey. There were 32 sold-out stadium shows across North America, Britain and Europe that grossed over US$400 million, according to Live Nation. By contrast, American pop singer Taylor Swift earned over US$2 billion for her Eras tour that spanned from March 2023 to December 2024, becoming the highest-grossing tour ever. Throughout her tour, Beyonce has paid homage to black American contributions to country music, specifically honouring black performers, some of whom are featured in the Cowboy Carter album (2024). The 16 Carriages (2024) vocalist has spoken candidly about not feeling welcomed in the country genre despite her Texas roots, after she became the first black woman to win Best Country Album at the 2025 Grammy Awards in February. Her performance at the Country Music Association Awards in 2016 received notable backlash, including racist comments across social media from those saying her songs were not real country music.

George Lucas makes Comic-Con debut for Lucas Museum of Narrative Art
Excited fans waved glowing Star Wars lightsabers on Sunday (Jul 27) at the San Diego Comic-Con panel for George Lucas' latest project, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Along with Lucas, the panel included director Guillermo del Toro and Doug Chiang, vice president of Disney's Lucasfilm, with Queen Latifah moderating at the San Diego Convention Center. Attendees shouted "Lucas! Lucas! Lucas!" and clapped their hands in anticipation of the Star Wars creator's arrival, and gave the 81-year-old Lucas a standing ovation as he took his seat. "Opening in 2026, the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art is a first-of-its-kind institution dedicated to illustrated storytelling across time, cultures, and media," a press release from the museum said. The 11-acre campus, in Exposition Park in Los Angeles, will include a green space and a 300,000-square-foot building with galleries, two theatres, a library, restaurant, cafe, and retail and community spaces. Some of its collection will include art from comic book artist Jack Kirby, painter Norman Rockwell and illustrator Kadir Nelson, as well as a Lucas archive with models, props, concept art and costumes. "I love all art, no matter what it is," Lucas said after showing a video that gave a sneak peek at the museum. The video included renderings of the museum interior and exterior, as well as the museum's broad range of art ranging from more traditional fine art and comic book strips to Star Wars sculptures and installations. Lucas began the panel recalling his days as a college student struggling to pursue his dream of becoming an art collector due to the steep cost of fine art. But the filmmaker found an affordable exception with comic books, sold cheaply in "underground" markets. Now, rather than selling art he collected over around 50 years, Lucas said he prefers to create what he calls a "temple to the people's art". Lucas kept the conversation focused on the museum and did not discuss Star Wars or Indiana Jones. For del Toro, the museum offers a visual past that belongs to everyone and can't be erased, noting that he may move some of his personal art collection to the Lucas Museum.
