The Roof feat Brandy (100,162) by 123 from USA I like it. Doesn't stray away from the original much at all. The backgrounds, ad libs, and Brandy's parts sound so lush. The only thing I don't like is Mariah's new lead vocal. Sounds dry and course in some parts, just like the BER lead when she sings the first verse. I've seen clips of the masterclass and it looks cool. (Friday 15 April 2022; 00:11)

Re: Reimagined The Roof (100,157) (100,161) by Bobby A from United States It is on YouTube. Smoking hot. Oh my. Check it out. (Thursday 14 April 2022; 22:53)

The Roof (When I Feel the Need) (100,160) by Bill from the UK Wow. (Thursday 14 April 2022; 22:40)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,158) (100,159) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I think too that Mariah has no bad feelings about not being credited yet. Because she was promoting it on her insta live few days back. And we all know Mariah puts people in "I don't know her" zone if she has a problem with them haha. (Thursday 14 April 2022; 21:55)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,149) (100,158) by jaker20 from US I loved French Montana's remix with Mariah. I hope she does more of those. In general, Billboard is trying to stop artists on remixes from getting credit. Remixes of course are different from ft. artists. The case is slightly different here because the artist on the remix (Mariah) is also an artist which is on another version of the song which the original (Latto's version) sampled (Genius of Love). It's a convoluted situation. That said, I don't think Mariah was tricked or used. Mariah isn't stupid. She knows that she may or may not get credit. But with Latto's version going up the charts, it also reminds people what a gem Fantasy was. That on is own is getting streams, and is getting some cute bumps on YouTube views.

Reimagined The Roof (100,157) by Bobby A from United States Has anyone logged into Masterclass and heard the preview of The Roof? (Thursday 14 April 2022; 18:30)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,154) (100,156) by Susana from USA I totally agree with you. We need more pop friendly and uptempo and ballads. (Thursday 14 April 2022; 18:24)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,154) (100,155) by T from USA Bring back Walter Afanasieff while you're at it. (Thursday 14 April 2022; 12:34)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,146) (100,154) by TJ from Norway I'm tired of RnB. Give me pop, give me ballads, give me good lyrics and melodies (they've been missing for ages). No more trying to copy We Belong Together or the success of TEOM. I know some of you will react like don't tell Mariah what to do, but these are my wishes. And please release the alternative version of All in My Mind. (Thursday 14 April 2022; 12:03)

Re: Mariah live (100,152) (100,153) by Giovanni from USA I'm definitely excited for a new album. And since Mariah said she's had time to rest her voice, I'm excited to hear how her voice sounds. I feel like Mariah is taking her career more serious and wants a hit record. I loved "Caution" and "The rarities" album so I hope we get more songs like "Portrait" and "Save the day". I want this new album to be successful and hopefully one people will remember like with "The Emancipation Of Mimi". (Thursday 14 April 2022; 04:39)

Mariah live (100,152) by 123 from USA Mariah was in ig live. That's the third time in like a month she has jumped on a social media platform to communicate to her fans. Looks like the reworking of [The Roof] will be a duet with Brandy and there might be video footage of this in her masterclass. What are you all most excited for? BER The Roof with Brandy Masterclass New/inspirational album (Thursday 14 April 2022; 01:05)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,148) (100,151) by 123 from USA Well said Special K. How are you doing these days? (Thursday 14 April 2022; 01:01)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,146) (100,150) by Bobby A from United States Adele is on MC's former record label that became a powerhouse because of piano ballads. Columbia won't let Adele release any experimental R&B. Adele has accomplished so much in just six months with 5,000,000 sales worldwide with just 2 hit songs. We can only hope MC would get back to piano driven ballads and a multi platinum album. (Thursday 14 April 2022; 00:33)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,147) (100,149) by Bobby A from United States Hey everybody. I think that I have figured out why MC is not receiving any credit on the charts right now. Notice how the remix is titled Latto X Mariah ft. DJ Khaled. The way it is titled is not really considered a remix and radio stations are just playing it as a new edited version of the original. I think that Latto used MC's name and voice to draw attention to her boring version of MC's pop jewel Fantasy. MC just got screwed on many levels this time. MC's addition to BE shows how she is a genius with harmonies and vocal layering. Does anybody know how Unforgettable did on the chart after MC jumped on the remix? French Montana got it right. Just know that big things are coming this fall. (Wednesday 13 April 2022; 23:51)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,146) (100,148) by Special K from USA Perhaps fans should stop focusing on the next #1 and let it happen organically? (Wednesday 13 April 2022; 22:24)

Re: Mariah's next number one (100,146) (100,147) by 123 from USA No one is combatting theories. Billboard was clear about their rule. There is no such thing as "fan driven" number 1s. If that was the case Mariah would have a lot more 1s. TGIFY only went number 1 because urban radio was playing the heck out of the remix while the original version collected dust. Even with Fantasy debuting at #1 and staying there for 8 consecutive weeks, the kids today don't know the song. Lol. Fans can stream and request but it will be the general public and radio that would take BER to number 1. People should just enjoy the remix. (Wednesday 13 April 2022; 14:35)

Mariah's next number one (100,146) by Randy from USA I absolutely love everyone's combatting the conspiracy theories and the stream requests of the "real fans". I want MC's 20th number one public driven, not fan driven like justiceforglitter. A lot of non-MC fans wouldn't know TGIFY or Loverboy which only went to number one and two respectively because we went out and bought the singles even though we had the albums or planned on purchasing the albums. Of course, the remixes were worth the buy, but it was fan driven not public driven. I want it to be undeniable. It just amazes me Adele can put out these piano ballads and go to number one but Alicia Keys, MC, Beyoncé, Christina A., Mary J a live and Rihanna still want to put out experimental R&B. And all of them have monster piano ballads in the past. It's maddening. (Wednesday 13 April 2022; 05:09)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,143) (100,145) by JC from USA Not to mention the subject of this thread pertains nothing to the ARIA charts. No offense, but I'm not interested in how BER peaks in Australia. My guess (pure speculation) is there is a video for the remix. Not sure Mariah and Latto would've just done those promo teasers and not take advantage of the opportunity. Let's hope they bust it out soon (at BER peak) for a last minute push in attempt for a #1. (Wednesday 13 April 2022; 03:32)

Re: She can do it (100,142) (100,144) by SM from Citizen of the World That is correct. Lol. (Wednesday 13 April 2022; 02:29)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,138) (100,143) by jaker20 from US "But it would take a little persuading." That doesn't even sound right. (Wednesday 13 April 2022; 01:27)

Re: She can do it (100,137) (100,142) by jaker20 from US Elton John only got back on the charts because of Dua Lipa, lets be honest. (Wednesday 13 April 2022; 01:24)

Conspiracy theory (100,141) by Edward from USA I think some of you should stop with the conspiracy theories. Nobody is blocking Mariah from going to #One if her songs and collabos are filtered by the same rules as everyone else. I would prefer a #One like "Endless Love", "Can't Let Go", "Without You" or "Shake If Off" over a forgettable remix to be honest. I'm not saying I don't like the High Energy Remix, it's just that it's another Fantasy remix to me. (Tuesday 12 April 2022; 22:47)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,138) (100,140) by T from USA Well ARIA charts (in Australia) have confirmed that Mariah will only be credited if the label contact them. So I don't know how much more proof you need? This is not a high profile court case lol. [Webmaster: What do the ARIA charts in Australia have to do with Billboard? Still no sources.] (Tuesday 12 April 2022; 14:12)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,138) (100,139) by 123 from USA Hi T. My source is Billboard, where they explained the 50% rule and explicitly stated that the remix has not yet made up for at least half of the points. It's lacking in streams and radio plays. Let's not make up conspiracy theories and get worked up over nothing. The song has had a slow climb. It's been out since September 2021. I think the remix will gain popularity as the weather warms up. Even if she doesn't get credit I'm enjoying the remix anyway. (Tuesday 12 April 2022; 13:59)

Re: Billboard Hot 100 (100,136) (100,138) by T from USA It's not what I'm reading. I'm reading that RCA has the ability to credit Mariah if they choose. But it would take a little persuading. [Webmaster: You often claim things, but when people ask for your sources, you never give them.] (Tuesday 12 April 2022; 13:10)
