Signed copies (105,530) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
To be honest I appreciate Taylor's artistry and her songwriting, it has a mass appeal. What I don't like is her money grabs and over commercialized behaviors. She's literally using her fan base as a cash cow releasing 2 albums per year (sometimes both re-records, sometimes 1 re-record and 1 new) and then she releases multiple versions of the same.

Yes, And? lyrics (105,529) by Matty from Vancouver Canada
I get some people's objection to the profanities in the song, although this is music for adults, and radio plays clean versions. Profanities are just words, just like every other word. It's art and words are an expression of art. Anyways . What was odd to me is that some don't like the message of this song. it's extremely empowering. "Wear this stuff on your chest, be your own best friend. I'm done with hypocrisy" etc. it's extremely empowering and self assured. Aside for your view on curse words, why isn't this songs lyrics a flex of self love and empowerment?

I have never seen her dance like this since the Butterfly and Rainbow eras. She can do it again with lots of practice.

Let's get it to number one (105,527) by Bobby A from United States
Radio seems to be passing on the remix. I have checked other major radio stations' "Recently Played" section today and the remix is not being played. They are still playing the original. These radio programmers know if the remix is played what it would mean for MC. I am afraid it is going to be difficult for MC to ever get back to her 90s heyday radio airplay ruled by today's radio dynamic four of Doja Cat (I can't stand her music), Jack Harlow, Sza, and Taylor Swift.

Facebook is tearing JLo apart for how bad her album is. Taylor's Target exclusive is going to top Midnights. She has become too big to stop now. I have never been a fan.

How long before you think the oversaturation will catch up to her (Taylor). It's like they know Midnights was not that great, but they are trying to milk it for all its worth.

JLo is out at the Bronx singing CDs at target. Bless her heart her 300m followers weren’t enough, but lol MC and Ariana should totally start selling signed copies to maximize the sales. Side note Taylor Swift has been revealing new bonus tracks here and there and her fans are kinda tired at this point of her capitalizing of them. She sold atleast 3 different versions of Midnights, then all the rereleases and now the new album looks like will have different versions too.

Sorry guys. Bad fan. Impostor syndrome (105,520) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Hahah I get your feelings and I too will be happy with a top 5 top 10 so that it positions Mariah really well for her next release but if it goes to #1, that'll be icing on the cake. I know it's a polarizing song, but a #1 is a #1 haha. I mean 4 of Mariah's #1s have been about her wanting to have sex lol (Honey, Fantasy, My All and TMB), 5th too if you count Emotions. The last collab she had was literally about having Big D Energy. Lol so I'll take whatever win we can have.

Yus US Lambs please push this song hard. Arianators are apparently going hard with promo calling the biggest radio stations to play the song. It was played on Z100 which is huge. The Arianators want it to hit #1 so Ariana can have the gift of going #1 side by side with her idol. There have been people who listened to it the first time and didn't like it only to later like it upon further listens, so if it's played on radio and all it'll reach masses.

"Mariah sounds too loud on the remix" (105,517) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
People are so dumb they literally said Mariah was showing off her vocals on purpose to sabotage Ariana. As if it's not Ariana's song and I'm sure Ariana discussed with Mariah what she wanted and Mariah delivered accordingly. This isn't like it was a Mariah song and Ariana had no say in it. Apparently Mariah's "loud" vocals sound really great when played in clubs because someone mentioned the remix was played in a club they went to. So Mariah knew exactly what she's was doing. Others saying Mariah sounds AI generated, like ok so she sounds great? People hate it when she whispers, people hate it when she's belting. People hate it when she doesn't sound great, people hate it when she does sound great.

So the remix is a lot better than the original song. I hope Mariah and Ariana have a lot of success with this song. I don't mean to be negative but there's this part of me that hopes it cracks the top 10 or even top 5 on Billboard, but not reach number one. I just don't like the song or the message at all. Like I said Mariah added depth to the song that it was missing, and other than the bad mixing on the pre and first chorus everything songs great, uh, I don't know, I just feel like this song shouldn't be attached to the brilliant songs that make up the other 19. Call it single/song impostor syndrome, idk. Anyway on a positive note, I have been trying to stream it in the background to help. I do hope they both work on an original song together in the future and not just remakes.

Also, as a YouTuber said in his reaction of yes and, Mariah has started off belting in a song since 1996 lol, so I was happy and presently surprised that she was belting in full chest voice throughout the song and sounding great too.

It's been a long time coming (105,513) by Stacey from USA
Agreed. I like Yes, And? It definitely doesn't have the same magic as Vogue or Dreamlover. But I ain't mad at it. It's nice to see MC get the love and respect she deserves.

It's been a long time coming (105,511) by Joachim Agerup Løkkevik from Norway
When was the last time Mariah was on top worldwide and it wasn't a Christmas song? Even here in Norway, Mariah is now #3 on top songs on iTunes. I had completely forgotten the feeling I experience when Mariah is represented on the charts. It's too early to hope for Mariah's name to be on offical charts around the world, but what a great feeling that would be. Nevertheless, congrats Mariah and Ariana.

Let's [stream], download and do what we got to do to get Mariah and [Ariana] to number one, let's get behind this as their fans, there would be nothing more exciting than to get Mariah her 20th number one. I would be so thrilled to see that happen for her.

Yes, absolutely. Boring and not needed to use such words. I watched the lyric video, what a mess. Who wrote this? Boy put your lipstick on? I'm going to listen to "Nevertheless I'm in love with you". That's classy.

"Mariah sounds too loud on the remix" (105,508) by jaker20 from US
That's always been how she is on her remixes. Clearly they don't know Mariah's iconic remixes which are still some of the best.

Yes, and? (105,507) by BFF from United States
My first thought when I saw the news about this release. Will Mariah start counting this as her 20th #1 record even though it went to number one *before* she appeared on a remixed version of it?

The song itself is pretty unimpressive, but most pop music these days is. I'm also very skeptical of any writing credit awarded to Ariana Grande, Beyonce, Taylor Swift, etc these days - especially if a professional songwriter like Max Martin is involved. My suspicion is that the song is brought to them 90 percent completed by professional producers/songwriters, and they then change a few lyrics or notes and consider that "writing".

With you on the profanity Stacey, absolutely no need for it. It's in so many songs these days. I'm still not completely over Mariah telling me to "get the [censored] out". In other news, here's my play count:
Selfish - 400+
Yes And? remix - 1
