Yes, And so close to top 10. Now or never (105,614) by Tevin from USA Thanks for the clarification. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 19:16) this is a reply to message 105,609

Yes, And so close to top 10. Now or never (105,609) by T from USA Well right now, as of their prediction is the song will come in at #11 with a 48% increase from last weeks chart placement. We know that an over 50% increase automatically gives the remix a new credit. So by getting it into the top 10 this week will mean it did go over 50% of an increase from last week, hence the credit. But we only really have today to Thursday morning to do it. So stream now like never before. Buy the remix single off Airana's website. Because next week we know it's going down. This week is the best chance for a Top 10. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 16:53)

Yes, And so close to top 10. Now or never (105,613) by jaker20 from US We don't know. It's going to be very very close. The remix should have more points than the original for her to get credit. Both versions together, it is at no.11 and went +49%. Assuming the original dropped like it did last week, then the remix portion of that should be more than 50% already, giving Mariah credit at this point already. There is no way the original went up after the remix is released, unless there is some shady stuff going on behind the scenes. The 3 new remixes released by Ariana's team complicates it slightly, but it's not doing any numbers currently. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 17:43) this is a reply to message 105,608

Yes, And so close to top 10. Now or never (105,608) by Tevin from USA Ok so I'm confused, if the OG reaches the top ten, does Mariah get credit or no? Some people say yes, some say no. I'm confused, how does this all work? How can a remix overtake an OG song? (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 15:30)

General public or bad decisions (105,612) by Jamie from UK I'm sat here and a thought came into my head regarding Mariah and her career. For the majority of the 1990's Mariah could do no wrong, she was America's sweetheart and had countless number one songs and albums. People took her into their hearts and adored her. From 1997 she made what some call a drastic change in musical direction and lost some of her core fanbase as a result. However she continued to have number one songs and albums even through a difficult time with Sony and Tommy Mottola. Why was it then that during her most difficult time in her life in 2001 did people turn their backs on her? Surely someone who they had grown to love had spent so long adoring her and buying her music would want to support her during this difficult time. Glitter and Charmbracelet failed to sell anywhere near what she would normally sell. My point is, is it the general public who turn on an artist so quickly, is it the music industry and media that set current trends what is a hit and what the people want or is it bad decisions made by Mariah the artist. For me it's just difficult to understand how such a quick switch in popularity can happen with someone who was literally a force of nature at one point. Firstly I don't think the whole Glitter film helped her persona one bit, 9/11 didn't help but the film just wasn't good enough 9/11 or not. The album or soundtrack is great but in hindsight should it have been left on the shelf once the film tanked to help control the damage from the film and save her also having a music flop too which was unheard of at the time. Would her next album then have been more well received by the public. For me I like Charmbracelet but it feels almost like a complete different body of work to the rest of her catalogue (present and past included) the whole vibe is just different. Were bad decisions made by Mariah creatively should she have come back with an upbeat track ala Fantasy/Honey mode and had less rappers on the album, it would be interesting to see if the Glitter album hadn't been released and she had come back with a stronger album (maybe a combination of Glitter tracks and new ones and called it something else) how her popularity would have been at that time and now. Or had the public already turned their backs on her and changed their view of her as a person. Obviously we had Emancipation but that was very short lived, and since then with the exception of Touch My Body and Christmas she hasn't got anywhere near the popularity she should have had. Do you think the general public just doesn't warm to her anymore, is it Mariah's decisions of music creativity or the way her persona has come across post 2001, or do you think it's the music industry making wrong decisions for her career? We can't change what happens but sometimes it's interesting to put a different spin on how we think things could have gone or been. Would love to hear your views and where you think things went wrong or could have been different for her. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 17:36)

Guys don't forget Amazon (105,611) by T from USA You can get the single here on Amazon Music. They tally their sales right at the end of the chart week and often offer a good surprise to the artists for the chart. This might be the place that Yes, And remix finds its biggest sales success. Order it today. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 17:02)

Yes, And so close to top 10. Now or never (105,610) by T from USA I agree, but we still have a chance. Those new dance mixes will keep points from the original one lower as less people will be checking on the OG these next few days. We can still do our Mariah part. We are literally one Billboard "point" away from Top 10. And we know the song has to have risen a jump of over 50% from last week. Right now it's at a 48% jump from last week. So let's go all out today and tomorrow. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 16:56) this is a reply to message 105,604

Yes, And so close to top 10. Now or never (105,604) by jaker20 from US Its seems like it's now just 1%. It's going to be very close to get her credited. That 3 new remixes released by Ariana's team was very very trashy behavior on the same day they found out that its going to be close. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 15:05)

Yes, And so close to top 10. Now or never (105,601) by T from USA If you download the iTunes app. Or on your computer go to the iTunes website, you can purchase the song for a dollar. You have to put in your credit card number. The song will automatically go into a folder in your iTunes app called "my library". It's really simple if you try. You can also buy it from Amazon, just make sure it's the remix version. It's right on the edge of being #11 on the Hot 100, and being #10. Predictions have it at #11 missing the top 10 by literally one point. So we can push the needle today with more sales, more streams. Today's the day. Go get em. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 13:56)

Stacey and Robert (105,607) by enwar00 from usa Agreed. That name sounded familiar once you said it. Don't remember the posts though. I feel like I discovered this site during The Emancipation of Mimi, which is almost 20 years ago. Gulp. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 15:23) this is a reply to message 105,594

Stacey and Robert (105,594) by Stacey from USA I get it. I take my breaks too, just unannounced. I miss Stephen's posts. Remember him. Anyway, for me coming here is a break from madness that is life as a wife, working mom of three. I enjoy the banter then go back to that craziness as those peeps are most important to me. I don't take anything here too seriously or remember what happened six months ago. It ain't that deep. Carey on. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 01:14)

It just occured to me (105,606) by jaker20 from US It was the lambs who got it to rise that high. It's patently confirmed math. It had a huge drop last week, and then rose 49% this week. This is all lambs' work. That's just math. Its also confirmed that on the same day that these numbers came out, they released 3 new remixes. They just want all the numbers but they don't want her be credited. It would be hilarious if she still manage to squeak by lol. I guess we'll find out in the next few days. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 15:13) this is a reply to message 105,596

It just occured to me (105,596) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I am hearing that YA OG has now climbed to the top 10 and no one can tell me the lambs didn't have a hand in getting it there by purchasing/streaming the remix, just like what the lambs did for BER, but looks like MC is not getting the credit once again. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 01:46)

It just occured to me (105,603) by Jamie from UK Yes I agree, it's a catchy song at first which I like, but it's not strong enough to stay around longer than it has. I've enjoyed the remix too, but like you said the original was already waning. Had the remix been the original version, then I'm sure it would have been number 1 and still lasted the same amount of time on the charts as the original has done. It's not a poor performance from either Ariana or Mariah, it's just one of those fly in fly out songs. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 14:54) this is a reply to message 105,598

It just occured to me (105,598) by Shezz from Pk True. Mariah and Ariana should have collaborated on a new song. After a couple of listens the song did grow on me and I heard it on repeat a lot but I asked myself why I myself or others didn't like it more: First of all, it's not a new song. Even though Mariah adds a lot of layers to this song and her new verse, it's still 99% the same song that A) has been played out and B) people didn't love much to begin with. I didn't find Mariah's vocals as grating or out of place as some people did. If Mariah, Ariana and Max Martin put them through - this is the style of singing they obviously wanted from her. I don't believe this remix is tanking because of Mariah's vocals. This song was on its way out of the top 40 anyway. It will push it back to the top 15 for a week and of course the original will be credited as it has more streams/downloads I'm sure. The opposite was true for Big Energy. It was a breakout hit and steadily climbing the charts when the remix came out and it just pushed it more. That wad good timing, this was not. It is certainly not the disaster many people think it is. It is just another building block for MC 16 which I'm sure will have the lyrics, music and vocals for all of us.

Yes, And so close to top 10. Now or never (105,595) by Tameka walker from United states I love Mariah but no one has taught me how to download. Back in the day when she put something out I would just go to the record store and buy it and so forth I was was the first one there to get it. I wish it was still that way or else I would have bought it and more than one copy to help her since I love her. Now the music business wants people to download and not everyone including me knows how to download music. I would love to learn. I will stream it. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 01:25)

It just occured to me (105,599) by MusicfanJ from Germany "Like I said, I think Mariah did it just to return a favor, dipped her toes, but didn't completely jump in." That's what I believe too. I'm waiting for a song only by Mariah. I don't want another young "trendy" singer or rapper. Just pure Mariah, no matter if it will be jazz, gospel or rnb. Just Mariah. Is it too much to ask for? I think not. (Tuesday 20 February 2024; 12:40) this is a reply to message 105,590

It just occured to me (105,590) by jaker20 from US From what I am reading, Ariana stans aren't 100% on board with the song itself. If lambs had high expectations for MC, imagine their expectations for Ariana who is supposed to be a more current of an artist and had been gone for a long time. They expect Ariana to give Taylor a run for her money and this is just not it. So that's the whirlwind of negativity that Mariah's hopping into. Not to mention the cheating and homewrecker allegations. Lambs should just enjoy the song and not get involved in that mess lol. It's not yet taking off, but I think it's a good addition to Mariah's remix catalog. Like I said, I think Mariah did it just to return a favor, dipped her toes, but didn't completely jump in.

It just occured to me (105,582) by jaker20 from US That Mariah just had a collab with Ariana, and it's a remix. A 2018 me would think that if they ever work together, it's going to be the biggest news of the year, it's going to be an event, it's going be their song together and not one or the other just hopping in, and it'll debut at no.1 based on their names alone, whatever the quality of the song. Now that moment is gone. It cannot be repeated. (Monday 19 February 2024; 20:37)

It just occured to me (105,597) by Bobby A from United States It just occurred to me that it was very odd for MC to announce a Vegas resudency in the midst of recording a new album. 90s Mariah would have finished her album, released the first single and then done a residency. Something doesn't seem right after what she has talked about working on for the past 3 years. I am just saying, but what if she doesn't release MC16 this year. The business mind of MC seems to be out of alignment due to something that we are not privy to concerning her voice. Maybe I am wrong and I not really going to be patiently waiting this year.

It just occured to me (105,587) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter Ugh unfortunately. In 2018 I didn't even think they'd ever collaborate. Forget #1 at this point, I was hoping for a good chart placement, but it looks like Ariana's team has abandoned ship, because they're releasing new remixes of the OG version and I haven't seen a single new post promoting the collaboration since Day 1. I feel like the excitement was definitely there when they announced, but a few things lead to it just being another missed opportunity. (1) Ariana's current reputation of a homewrecker and yes, and? being taken as a "I'm a home wrecker, yes, and?" (2) People not feeling Mariah belting. (3) There wasn't much promo after first day. (4) Mariah doesn't have much streaming pull and the song would have been dependent on Ariana's huge streaming pull, but Ariana is going through a slump. (5) People thinking this song isn't Mariah's type. (6) The song had already peaked and was free falling, so hopping on the remix didn't really make the "shock" impact of the MC-AG that their teams were hoping for. Makes me sad that it looks like all MC's new eras are staying relevant for like what on average 24 hours. I feel like a few live performances, little videos of why they collaborated or how they landed on this song to collab and all would have added to the hype, also of course a replayable MV. But I guess that's a wrap. I was reading somewhere that they messaged a radio station regarding why the station was playing the remix instead of the original, but the station said they weren't sent the remix. So honestly it's just sad that these era's are getting shorter with every release. (Monday 19 February 2024; 21:50)

But I guess that's a wrap. I was reading somewhere that they messaged a radio station regarding why the station was playing the remix instead of the original, but the station said they weren't sent the remix. So honestly it's just sad that these era's are getting shorter with every release. (Monday 19 February 2024; 21:50)
