Mariah Carey's bad weekend record sales
|
What a weekend for pop music sales! Lady Gaga's amazing performance on the Super Bowl sent all of her records flying "off the shelves". This morning she's dominating the top 10 albums and singles. She sang live, sounded great, sang on roof, jumped off the roof, and flew around a football stadium.
But on the other end, it was not a good weekend for Mariah Carey. Her ill conceived single "I Don't", sampled from a 17 year old R&B hit, is a massive dud. At first "I Don't" jumped to number 6 on iTunes. But by this morning it's number 61. There's no sign of it being streamed on Spotify, either.
The good news I guess is that the video has 6 million views on YouTube. But that and $2.50 will get you on the subway. It just means that Carey's fans are playing it over and over again - for free, basically.
I don't - heheh - think "I Don't" can come back. Most people won't know it existed. So far, 2017 isn't going too well for MC.

Roger was a little extra shady in this post, not holding any punches. He could have noted that the video did reach number one on iTunes. I am just hoping Mariah will put on a great show when she tours with Lionel Richie. I am looking forward to that show.

Mariah needs to do something about her career and where it's going.

Listen, Roger What's-His-Name used to be friendly with Mariah and give her incredibly positive coverage. That's all changed, clearly because she's not kissing his a$$ anymore. The guy badmouths her every chance he gets and, while I'm not going to argue about "I Don't" because I don't care for it, he's acting like a petulant child over this, one who's trying to get even with someone who wouldn't play with him in the sandbox. On another note, his knowledge of the music industry is lacking and the articles he writes about the industry are embarrassing. And his site is a mess - he frequently writes stories that are mostly wrong and then contradicts them the next day in a different article, because, well, the guy is a mess. Finally, the site is riddled with typos and errors. Oh, and he refuses to post any reader comments that are negative or correct him - I've commented on his stories often and never once has he allowed one to go on the site. He used to have a pretty good career at Fox News until he was fired for doing something incredibly stupid and unethical - google it. All in all, I kind of feel sorry for him.

There was nothing untrue about anything he said. Love Mariah, but lately her game is weak. She needs to get her head in the game. Lady Gaga may not have hit every note perfectly during the Super Bowl, but she put her soul into it and it was obvious. Mariah hasn't put her soul into anything for quite some time and it's overwhelmingly evident. I think Mariah has more than just an image problem at this point. She comes across as having an attitude and being completely unrelatable; beyond the "diva" caricature she's created. Couple that with uninspiring, petty songs and lip syncing during performances - for God's sake she doesn't even have to dance. Is it really a surprise her "I don't" didn't do well? I want to keep cheering Mariah on, but she's getting tiresome and boring. What happened to your fire Mariah?
