|  | | Keith Caulfield | | Keith, I'm a big Mariah Carey fan, and am incredibly shocked at the downward slide of her new single "Bye Bye" on the Billboard Hot 100. It was the Hot Shot Debut (at No. 23) a few weeks ago, and her highest debut in years. Why do you think it has lost popularity? Does it have a chance to even make it into the top 10?
Thanks! Carlos Anino Hi Carlos, don't panic! "Bye Bye" is headed back up the Billboard Hot 100. On the chart dated May 24, it zips from No. 38 to No. 27. Its radio airplay has been increasing over the past few weeks, so it should only continue to go higher.
The song debuted so high a couple weeks ago due to strong digital download sales. However, at the time, the airplay of the song wasn't big enough to keep the song from sliding down the Hot 100 in the ensuing weeks. But, all is right in the world now, and "Bye Bye" should say "Hi Hi" to the top 10 quite soon. (Ask Billboard)
