Let's get it to number one (105,547) by jaker20 from US I heard the Yes, And remix the other day. It was their big "new music this week" with a drumroll announcement. Don't be surprised if it gains some traction on radio, especially on the club radio stations. But expecting it to go to number one is too much to ask. I feel like it was just Mariah returning a favor to Ariana for appearing on stage with her and JHud last Christmas, and nothing more. They seem to enjoy each other and that's great to see. I just hope Mariah is more consistent with her releases. There is some buzz right now. She should have a follow up in 3 to 4 weeks, the same way that she should have a follow up immediately after BER blew up, and the same way she should have a follow up every Christmas on January.

Let's get it to number one (105,538) by MusicfanJ from Germany The local radio played Beys "Texas hold em" yesterday. The clean version. The radio presenter was praising the song. I think the song really works for the radio. With "yes and" I'm not so sure. It's interesting to read your thoughts about the airplay for "yes and the remix". Can someone post a (US) chart position for next week? (Sunday 18 February 2024; 10:35)

Yes, and? better promo strategy (105,546) by jaker20 from US I agree. The song already hit number, and was already on its way down. Mariah made it a better song, but she cannot save it on the charts. It's too late. I agree with you, if the remix was the original version, it would have been bigger. Lambs should just enjoy it for what it is, and it should not always be attached to chart position. In 2 days since it was released, Mariah gained 2 million listeners. So it helps her in some other way. I actually think it will get better airplay over the next few weeks than the original. It might even be a club hit. It's a real bop. But expecting it to be number one is too much to ask. Already, some lambs are trashing it on twitter, because it didn't hit number one on iTunes. Like why does everything have to be attached to the charts. It gives us something to enjoy until the album arrives, so just enjoy it for what it is.

Yes, and? better promo strategy (105,536) by "MariahHater" from Hell For me the remix is way too late to be released. If they have made the remix as the main version, I think this will blow out of proportions and stay at number 1 for 2-4 weeks lol. But yeah charting or nah, the song is good for me since it's fresh, uptempo and belty Mariah I have been longing for a decade. Pre chorus made me in shambles as I thought it was Ariana but Mariah came neck in neck with her. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 05:56)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,545) by Tevin from USA Sorry I don't agree with you. Some people like listening to songs around their young children. One of the reasons why I became a fan of Mariah was because my parents used to play her music all the time around me as I grew up. If she cussed up a storm back in the 90s and early 2000s, my parents would not have played her music around me and guess what, I probably would not have become a fan. My point is, it's easy to look at it through adults eyes, but some people may not like to play explicit lyrics around their kids. Also (this isn't always the case), but I find more and more in today's music that lyrical content has become so lazy now that cussing and other explicitness can be freely said in music. There's one thing to have a strong emotion behind a song to use a cus word, there's a completely different reason to just be lazy and throw in words here and there, because you formulate a strong thought or emotion into a lyric. Basically what I'm saying is that many popular songs have lost their depth. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 18:25) this is a reply to message 105,532

Yes, And? lyrics (105,532) by Anonymous from USA I couldn't agree more Matty. We have no right to censor the artist. Some here won't like anything MC puts out regardless. I personally enjoy the music and will support all of MC's efforts. Basically, if Mariah likes it, then I like it. Consider the records a gift. One day MC will no longer be here and they've sat there complaining and waiting for projects that will never come. Instead, they could be more supportive and be grateful, it shouldn't be hard for her biggest fans. If they can't do that it's ok but, with all due respect, maybe it's time to move on.

"Yes" (105,544) by Edward from USA The remix of '"Yes, and?' was released when the original single was already losing traction, making its impact minimal. Moreover, the remix fails to elevate the essence of the original. In my humble opinion, ccllaborating on this remix was a huge mistake, she should've reserved such a collaboration for different a project. I understand that many enjoy the remix, but I find myself surprised to admit that in this case Ariana's vocals outshines Mariah's. While Ariana exudes smoothness and effortlessness, Mariah sounds like a dying cat, to the point where even her signature whistle notes sound off. Crucify me if you want to.

Time of release UK (105,543) by 123 from USA Stacey great minds think alike. I've been listening to MB30 since its release. Mostly to Dreamlover, AILF Extended, Workin Hard Remix, IBTAY Remix. Ifs it's late I listen to My Prayer, Do You Think of Me and all the moody tracks on the second CD and sometimes let the live concert just play. She has been giving us new stuff each year. I'll take some quality unreleased tracks any day from her while we wait for a new album. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 18:07) this is a reply to message 105,460

Time of release UK (105,460) by Stacey from USA As always when new MC music is released, I am hopeful. In the meantime I am loving Music Box all over again. My first song heard was Hero. First album bought was MB. I got the 3CD set in the mail a few days ago. I love what MC wrote about the album. It was released during troublesome times in her personal life. But she also recognizes the album is an important part of her career development, an important part of her life, even if it was during the Tommy years. (Friday 16 February 2024; 04:42)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,542) by MusicfanJ from Germany Amen Bill. Hundred thumbs up. That's what I tried to say. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 17:15) this is a reply to message 105,539

Yes, And? lyrics (105,539) by Bill from the UK Self-love and empowerment are better found in lyrics like Hero, Through the Rain, My Saving Grace, Fly Like a Bird and so on. It's a shame the woman who wrote lyrics like those found on Outside, Butterfly, My All, Looking In and Petals now sings about riding a D. I'll go back to playing Selfish on repeat all day. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 13:06)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,541) by MusicfanJ from Germany Excatly. I'm 39, and to put the f. word and other cencored words aren't art to me. It cheapens a pop song. The language of today is often vulgar enough. I find it childish and not necessary. It's my right to not like it. If other ones enjoy those lyrics fine. Tastes are different, especially in art. I prefer lyrics like "Butterfly". Poetic, energizing, touching. Honey, My All and Fantasy are great too. And "Touch my body" is just fun with the video hilarius.

Yes, And? lyrics (105,535) by Stacey from USA I'm a 46 year old adult who doesn't care for profane-laced lyrics. Spare me the "it's art" argument. It's an old and often overused reason to justify such unnecessary decisions. The song is just fine without it. Why add it? Makes zero sense to me. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 05:14)

Yes, And? lyrics (105,540) by Bobby A from United States MC is trying to be young again or be a part of what is hip in today's music industry. Although she has done this collaboration, I don't think MC16 will follow in this direction. I believe she has a plan to get back on the pop charts. We have to trust her on this collaboration. She will make us proud soon. I want to hear that Clark Sisters song so bad. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 14:07) this is a reply to message 105,539

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?

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.

TCOM promotion (105,537) by Bobby A from United States MC will be doing her TCOM talk show promotional rounds here really soon. I sure hope she does more daytime tv interviews than late night. I feel she is more relax on daytime tv than late night tv. I would love for her to join The Talk with Jerry O'Connell and talk about TCOM and the 25th anniversary of the Heartbreaker video. If she does late night tv, I hope she stops by Stephen Colbert's show. Colbert and MC had me laughing so hard the last time she stopped by his show. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 06:48)

Promo (105,533) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Y'all think there's going to be more promo for the song? It looks like Ariana's new post is all her upcoming album. The director of the OG YA video is teasing the video for her next single. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 05:03)

Signed copies (105,531) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I hope soon lol just because it's just too much. Between 2021-2024 she's released like what 5 albums? 4 of them re-records. She's always getting her fan base to hate on her partners but can't take the same heat when she's remotely criticized. She's also milking the Eras tour for all it's worth and I think she will release all her re-records while she has the Era's tour spotlight on her. The whole Travis Kelce thing is 100% manufactured in my opinion to keep her in the spotlight. Her fan base argues "she doesn't need more money, she's already a billionaire or she doesn't need more fame she's already famous", but if there's one thing we know about rich and famous it's that nothing is ever enough. Yes she's a billionaire, but she definitely will do anything to earn more money because she has to support the lifestyle she has. Yes she is uber famous but she knows she has to keep being in the spotlight because out of sight out of mind. After 1989 she vanished and no one even thought about her until she came back, then again she had a down phase, to the point for one of her songs I forget if it was Willow or Cardigan she had to release like 20 versions to compete with AIW, and that too fell off after 1 week. Now again we're over saturated. (Sunday 18 February 2024; 01:32) this is a reply to message 105,524

Signed copies (105,524) by Tevin from USA 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. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 23:39)

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.

Let's get it to number one (105,519) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter 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.

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. (Saturday 17 February 2024; 21:05)
