Sun May 11 07:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Mariah the Scientist’s “Burning Blue” Blazes to #2 on Apple Music, Hints at Major Album Success

**NEW YORK, NY** – R&B artist Mariah the Scientist is experiencing a major surge in popularity with her new single, “Burning Blue.” The track has climbed to the #2 spot on Apple Music’s US chart, marking the highest charting song by a female artist on the platform in 2025. This achievement follows the platinum success of her 2022 hit “Spread Thin” and solidifies her position as a rising star in the R&B scene.

“Burning Blue,” described as a vulnerable and poignant reflection on love and loss, showcases Mariah’s signature blend of fragility and strength. The song’s understated yet deeply affecting lyrics and sparse, elegant instrumentation have resonated strongly with listeners.

The single’s success comes as Mariah completes her next album, the release date of which is yet to be announced. The anticipation surrounding this upcoming project is high, particularly given the speculation of a potential collaboration with her boyfriend, rapper Young Thug. The pair previously worked together on Mariah’s last album, which also featured 21 Savage. While details of their future collaboration remain unconfirmed, Young Thug has publicly supported “Burning Blue” on social media.

Mariah recently concluded a tour with Latto to be with Young Thug following his release from jail in October 2024. Thug is currently preparing his own album, *UY SCUTI*, with the lead single “Money on Money” featuring Future already released. The couple were recently spotted together at a Lakers game.

Mariah’s impressive chart performance with “Burning Blue” suggests her upcoming album could be her most impactful yet, further cementing her place as a major force in R&B.
