Oh Santa (96,876) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The video is still racking up loads and loads of views. Nice. I'm on YouTube about 70% of my daily online time and am quite fond of review/reaction content, so I'd like to think I have a good idea of how huge trending video moments are. I just can't recall the last time I ever saw another music video in recent memory that has inspired so many (possibly hundreds) of reaction videos. So many small YouTubers, even those that have not covered any musical content in the past, are jumping on it to hopefully get their viewership, engagement and subscription numbers up. The sheer amount of such content is just crazy - it's a rabbit hole so deep that the earliest reaction videos (that had to be re-uploaded several times last Saturday as they were always being taken down due to copyright issues for the slightest use of song audio) are now just left up there as if the system had given up stinging any channel that attempts to follow suit due to the demand.

Re: Signal to MC (96,859) (96,875) by MusicfanJ from Germany Forever 12 dahling. Seriously you are right. You explained it very well. I do think that's how the music business works today. (Monday 7 December 2020; 11:00)

Re: Oh Santa 2010 girl group (96,854) (96,874) by MusicfanJ from Germany Sadly we will never hear it, but that vocal trinity would be the best on earth. At least we have "When you believe". Can anyone imagine Mariah and Josh Groban? Maybe in the future for the duets album. (Monday 7 December 2020; 10:54)

Re: 20th #1? (96,864) (96,873) by this_is_qhm from the Philippines The special itself was the Apple exclusive. The single wasn't. Oh Santa really hasn't been added to their playlists. You have to search for it. (Monday 7 December 2020; 09:32)

Re: What (96,862) (96,872) by TJ from Norway You sound like an angry little elf, so I guess I will leave you alone in the dark of your own anger. Merry Christmas. (Monday 7 December 2020; 07:47)

Re: Tribute To Heroes September 21, 2001 broadcast (96,856) (96,871) by Yvon Martin from Canada Anyone? I would really really like to have the VHS or DVD of the live broadcast which aired on September 21. Nice reward for the finder. (Monday 7 December 2020; 05:27)

Re: 20th #1? (96,867) (96,870) by Lady B from USA Ribbon - the soundtrack is exclusive to Apple. The single is not. (Monday 7 December 2020; 04:53)

Wow (96,869) by Hilton from USA It's the holiday season and y'all are in here acting like this. What a disgrace. SMH. Wow. Some of you need some serious help and fast. What's also sad is how often and casual this behavior is. Make it make sense because it doesn't. Again, just wow. (Monday 7 December 2020; 03:07)

Re: 20th #1? (96,867) (96,868) by RibbonB from USA It's not a full week het though, so why would they be salty? Perhaps their [sic] just honoring the exclusivity. Anywho. (Monday 7 December 2020; 02:13)

Re: 20th #1? (96,864) (96,867) by We are lambily from USA Yes dahling, the soundtrack is an exclusive for a week to [Apple] and I guess they are really salty for that. It didn't even get recommended on my release radar knowing damn well Mariah is my #1 most played artist. (Monday 7 December 2020; 01:28)

Oh Santa video (96,866) by RibbonB from USA I thought it was very cute. Mariah's dress was cute, but way too short. I wish they at least had matching colors. All three sounded great, but auto tuned or something. I thought their hip sway dance moves were cool, but all the jumping around going on around them mostly distracting. Overall, it was a solid performance. (Monday 7 December 2020; 00:12)

Re: Oh Santa 2010 girl group (96,854) (96,865) by RibbonB from USA Would've been trash. Whitney's voice was thrashed in 2010, Celine sounds like a boiling cat and Mimi would've done her pregnant best though. (Monday 7 December 2020; 00:08)

Re: 20th #1? (96,860) (96,864) by RibbonB from USA Exclusive means its limited to Apple. Perhaps that's how Apple wants it. (Monday 7 December 2020; 00:05)

Anyone wanna join me? (96,863) by Andrew from the United Kingdom There's lots of room in here. And it's wicked fun when the wine is flowing. (Monday 7 December 2020; 00:02)

What (96,862) by . from . Yes, let's say that anything against Andrew is a thing. He can say his thing, so I'll say my thing - he's an inappropriate insertion here. I'm back here now and I will post yet again my own thoughts and feelings about life, if Eric allows it, as I should. And I will stand tall and say my bit. Too much wine? TJ, please discreetly question other folks wine intake before you ask or criticise mine. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 22:17)

Re: I'm back (96,853) (96,861) by Tijl from Belgium A few splashes were had, for sure. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 20:03)

Re: 20th #1? (96,841) (96,860) by We are lambily from USA This industry is so shady and all about politics since Mariah did an exclusive with Apple Music, Spotify are really salty and decided not to add the song to any major playlists. They didn't even highlight the single on Ariana page, since she has around 70 million monthly followers who listen to her, it would benefit the song greatly. The song is doing amazing with pure sales and today is the day the song gets counted for radio. Let's hope for an Christmas miracle. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 20:01)

Re: Signal to MC (96,848) (96,859) by Slipping Butterfly from United States Because she a 50 year old artist that's 30 years into her career. No record label is putting money into that. The traditional music business is dying, putting huge money into Mariah makes no sense business wise. Lambs need stop acting Mariah is still 25, he'll even 35. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:52)

Worldwide iTunes chart: number 1 and 2 (96,858) by MusicfanJ from Germany Wow I just saw this. Congratulations MC. It seems like she is the ultimate Christmas queen. Of course for us she is so much more. I remember when I got the Christmas album in 99 together with "The ones". Who knew that Mariah would conquer the charts in 2020 again with her Christmas songs. She is a miracle for sure. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:48)

St. John the Divine concert (96,857) by MusicfanJ from Germany I still love this one. On my sound system it really sounds like you are in that church. The remixes are also fun. With some apple punch the house is rocking. Love the deluxe album. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:33)

Tribute To Heroes September 21, 2001 broadcast (96,856) by Yvon Martin from Canada Hi all. Would anyone have a copy of "Tribute to Heroes", not the December release but the original broadcast that aired on September 21st, 2001? Willing to pay for it. Merci, Martin. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 19:31)

Re: I'm back (96,847) (96,855) by Edward from USA If that's how you think you will destroy Andrew, it's very evident you must be on crack or something. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 18:39)

Oh Santa 2010 girl group (96,854) by T from USA Everyone always wanted the vocal trinity, what if Oh Santa was originally released with Mariah, Celine and Whitney? (Sunday 6 December 2020; 17:10)

Re: I'm back (96,852) (96,853) by TJ from Norway I think someone drank bottles of wine before that message was written. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 14:59)

Re: I'm back (96,847) (96,852) by Todd from Melbourne, Australia Can we not do this anti Andrew thing again? It's Christmas for smurfs sakes. Heads up though - for somebody that can't stand him, you seem pretty damn obsessed just quietly. (Sunday 6 December 2020; 13:06)
