All I live for (104,417) by Tevin from USA Did you all see the snippet of Mariah singing All I Live For? She sounds good. I need her to start doing more impromptu moments. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 03:37)

Rockin' Around #1 (104,416) by Shezz from Pk Robert Anthony you called this weeks ago. There still are a few more weeks for her to get to number 1, I hope she gets one week atleast. Though you said you thought she won't hit number 1 this year. Maybe she'll hit number 1 on the chart for the first week of 2024 which will keep her streak going. I remember it was a really tight race last year as well and RATCT was also number 1 on Spotify last year but more towards the end. I don't think any amount of promotion at this point will make people stream or buy this song more than they already do. I don't think Mariah has anything left to accomplish with AIWFC - most of us were hoping it would help her get her longest running number 1 title back. It still can, might just take longer now. I think some people are generally getting a little tired of AIWFC (as per comments seen online). Heck even I tend to skip it on my Christmas playlist now sometimes - but whenever it does come on it still sounds pretty darn good I'll admit. Lets celebrate her reaching number 1 on the global Billboard and Spotify charts and looking great in the People shoot. She says she has enough songs for an album now needs to record some of them so maybe a new album in spring. Also, I read online that Butterfly Lounge is Mariah's foray into Jazz. Lets hope that sees the light of day soon. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 02:39) this is a reply to message 104,404

Rockin' Around #1 (104,404) by Bobby A from United States I just cant believe this has happened. However, we saw it coming this past weekend. (Monday 4 December 2023; 23:04)

Rockin' Around #1 (104,415) by SM from Citizen of the World I agree 100% with your post. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 02:27) this is a reply to message 104,407

Rockin' Around #1 (104,407) by Terna from Nigeria I smell a rat. The song didn't even have a bullet on the chart as of last week, now suddenly it is number one. I call bull. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 00:19)

How it went down (104,414) by Edward from USA AIWFCIY - RATCT Streams 32.4 34.9 Airplay 21.5 20.7 Sales 4,000 3,000 Streams and airplay in millions, sales in units. Brenda is number one by 2.5 M streams. It's definitely a tight race. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 01:51)

Rockin' Around #1 (104,413) by Edward from USA Her video hasn't gather that many streams. Mariah's video has way more streams than hers and it is four years old. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 01:30) this is a reply to message 104,410

Rockin' Around #1 (104,410) by Bobby A from United States It seems like UMG has set a precedent this year with RATCT and its aggressive marketing strategies to get it to number #1 after 65 years. Other record labels are going to follow suit next year. Oh, no. Last Christmas will be 40 years old next Christmas. Will Last Christmas make it number #1 with Sony Legacy's help? Brenda has shown us all it takes is a new video, special guest vocalists, a couple of TV appearances, social media and shady Spotify to help get a Christmas song to number one. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 00:57)

Rockin' Around (Spotify position) (104,412) by jaker20 from US Yes and then you went into a litany of what she and her label is doing. You literally posted that on Saturday 2 December 2023; 20:51. Lol. I'm sorry I just think you're funny. Ok I'll stop now. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 01:28) this is a reply to message 104,406

Rockin' Around (Spotify position) (104,406) by Edward from USA You need to read without your Illuminati glasses on. I stated: "The music industry doesn't have much control over anything anymore. The music industry as we knew it, it's forever gone." They have some control, but not much. The control is in people's hands. Once the genie is out of the bottle, it's a wrap. Don't boycott Brenda now. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 00:17)

Good voice (104,411) by Bobby A from United States Do you think she has voice back enough join Usher on the Superbowl stage in 2024? I think so. If Usher announces MC will join him, it will be the biggest event of her career since WBT. She would be forced to drop a new song on February 9th. Just saying today trying to think positively.

Good voice (104,372) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway I can honestly say I had lost all faith in that Mariah would work on her voice and sound good again, but she has impressed me once more. How pleasant and nice it is to hear her live voice again, it's so satisfying and soothing, just listen to this. (Sunday 3 December 2023; 18:28)

Charts (104,409) by Tameka walker from United states Mariah can still be number one. All we have to do is stream, download and request it on radio. I am happy for Brenda's success. Both songs are great and both are worthy of the number one spot on Billboard. Hopefully Mariah can be number one before the new year. I am looking forward to a new album. I am so excited. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 00:56)

Rockin' Around #1 (104,408) by Edward from USA It has a bullet at number 8 on the Hot 100. Before that it was still bubbling under. (Tuesday 5 December 2023; 00:49) this is a reply to message 104,407

Rockin' Around #1 (104,398) by enwar00 from usa It's officially #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Congrats to Brenda Lee. I imagine Mariah is gracious and happy for her. Maybe this can further help against ageism and Mimi can get to #1 in decades to come still. (Monday 4 December 2023; 21:04)

Rockin' Around (Spotify position) (104,392) by Edward from USA That's not boycott or illegal. You don't have to listen to those playlists. Most people have their own playlists anyway, and Spotify is not the only streaming platform. Brenda wasn't at the top of some of those playlists before. Was she being boycotted since AIWFCIY hit number one? I thought we had moved on from the paranoia lambs tend to have about some mega powerful entity coming for Mariah. AIWFIY and RATCT are the Christmas hits they are because millions of people love them and got them there. You can discount, you can gift, you can pray, you can throw a lambtrum, but all that won't make a song popular or hit if people don't like it. (Monday 4 December 2023; 15:55)

Rockin' Around (Spotify position) (104,402) by jaker20 from US "Brenda didn't write RATCT, she basically doesn't profit much from it." "Who has been boycotting that frail old lady Brenda for four years now?" Then its entire possible that she's over this and these aren't fully her doing. Business people are profiting off of her. Aka labels and industry people. (Monday 4 December 2023; 22:24) this is a reply to message 104,399

Rockin' Around (Spotify position) (104,399) by Edward from USA Labels don't have that much control, period. They have been trying to make artists, songs and albums happen for the longest that never went anywhere. Streaming changed the game, stars and hits have come out straight out of YouTube, streamers gave them that. Promoting helps a lot to bring attention to projects, but people ultimately decide. AIWFCIY has been hitting the top spot for four years in an row, give me a fat effing non-delusional break. Mariah and her team haven't sat their asses down, they have been pushing AIWFCIY way more aggressively than Brenda and her team. Brenda didn't write RATCT, she basically doesn't profit much from it. Stop with the paranoia and conspiracy theories. Wait, I think you're right, the illuminati and Brenda are working together. Who is Brenda sacrificing for the top spot? A lamb, maybe. Who has been boycotting that frail old lady Brenda for four years now? (Monday 4 December 2023; 21:23)

Rockin' Around (Spotify position) (104,395) by jaker20 from US Pedro's post isn't paranoia, is it actually true. I'm not sure you fulling understand how it works. A few days ago, you said labels have no control, and I explained to you how that is not true. Labels can influence placement on playlists through Discovery Mode. It is a feature for artists which is some kind of digital payola, where labels received reduced royalty in exchange for prioritized placement. It is not pay by play, but if you understand algorithms, it is very effective. The placement of a song in a playlist with millions of users is very consequential. Im not sure why you're comparing it to you playlist lol. They are not the same. Regular users normally plays a playlist pushed to them by the app, and then stop at a certain point. So makes a massive difference. So the past few weeks, Mariah has not been added on some of the biggest curated playlists, until recently. Brenda's song has been on playlists mentioned below that often doesn't even have to do with Christmas. And that already works against Mariah in terms of boost from algorithms. It has a slower headstart. Like I said, Brenda's team has been aggressive this year and we give them that credit. Mariah's hasn't, probably they felt they didn't need it which I think is a mistake.

Rockin' Around (Spotify position) (104,397) by Lee from USA She gets treated vastly differently than her peers. She is vilified for her successes and mocked for failure. It's hard to convince people otherwise when it happens often. (Monday 4 December 2023; 20:22) this is a reply to message 104,392

Miss You Most (At Christmas) (104,396) by jaker20 from US I'm thinking Mariah walking on the streets of Paris like that Say Somethin' video but less sexy. But Mariah's Christmas image is festive so I don't know if she'll be up for it. But look at Last Christmas, which is a sad song. (Monday 4 December 2023; 19:51) this is a reply to message 104,387

Miss You Most (At Christmas) (104,387) by jaker20 from US It gives me the feels the classic feels. I think this song deserves a proper video. One that has a story, similar to Wham's Last Christmas. Same with "When Christmas Comes". Both are original MC Christmas songs too. (Monday 4 December 2023; 06:02)

Oh Santa original vs JHud/Ariana version (104,394) by Libra Lamb from USA I personally like the solo version better, but that goes for all of her songs. I prefer her singing solo, with the exception of I'll Be There and a few of her other songs, I don't know if it's because it's always been her and Trey Lorenz on that song. Just my two cents, I'm not trying to disrespect anyone she has had the pleasure of working with. (Monday 4 December 2023; 17:58) this is a reply to message 104,366

Oh Santa original vs JHud/Ariana version (104,366) by jaker20 from US What's everyone's opinion on this? It's interesting that the JHud/Ariana collab didn't do much to the song. I personally thought their voices didn't blend so well, and there's no chemistry between them on the video. It wasn't cute or engaging. But we said the same with the AIWFCIY collab with Bieber.
