Re: Last time MC belted (91,440) (91,442) by Bill from the UK Also MCIIY has many, many great belting moments. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 14:18)

Re: Last time MC belted (91,440) (91,441) by Bobby A from United States I guess I should have said major belting. I will listen today to the songs you mentioned. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 11:11)

Re: Last time MC belted (91,437) (91,440) by Bill from the UK No. Have you not heard Memoirs, specifically IWTKWLI? Me I Am Mariah also has several moments of belting throughout. Make It Look Good, Cry, Heavenly, YDKWTD etc. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 07:46)

Article: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" back to the Hot 100 (91,439) by Travis from USA Lambs, we have to call on each other to finally get this song to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and give Mariah her 19th #1 that she deserves so much after all these years. Do whatever it takes. Get on your Facebook or Twitter platforms and spread awareness. Stream AIWFCIY as much as you can. Buy the song if you haven't already and if you have, well, it won't hurt to buy it again. If us lambs can get #JusticeForGlitter for Mariah after all these years than we certainly can take this song to #1. (Saturday 23 November 2019; 01:31)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,436) (91,438) by Bobby A from United States Thank you, Jake. So what are we waiting on to get a streaming campaign started this weekend on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook? We have to get AIWFCIS [sic] to number one this year. At Christmas parties, workplace parties, and at senior citizens events we should campaign for people to stream AIWFCIS during their parties. Does Sirrus XM radio count for streaming too? We need a ridiculous steaming movement this year. I just feel this year is the year. (Friday 22 November 2019; 23:14)

Last time MC belted (91,437) by Bobby A from United States Is it true DFAU was the last time MC belted in the song? (Friday 22 November 2019; 23:03)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,435) (91,436) by jaker20 from US Robert-Anthony, streaming. It was streaming that powered it to no.3 last year. More people streamed last year than the previous year, and there's more this year. Requesting to radio and downloads are good, but if you want to help out that has most impact, streaming is the key. (Friday 22 November 2019; 22:37)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,433) (91,435) by Bobby A from United States The real question is how did it make it to number #3 last year? Did some Lambs do something special behind the scenes? Or was the radio airplay and downloads so enormous that it made it to number 3? Christmas music is played in retail stores really heavy in December. When it is played in retail stores through a digital service provider, does that count towards radio airplay? Another way we can get AIWFCIS [sic] to number one is to request heavy on top radio stations. (Friday 22 November 2019; 21:57)

Re: Get off auto pilot, Mariah - keep creating (91,429) (91,434) by Geronimo from USA I hear what you're saying, Hilton. From a marketing and celebrity perspective I certainly don't expect her to try to reignite that old flame. I'm just thinking about artists like Aretha Franklin, Billie holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Nina Simone and others who I still wish had produced more work - not because they didn't do what they were supposed to do and then some, but because they were so great I just want more. Mariah once said at the heart of it all she is primarily a songwriter. In addition to being a really good songwriter her production instincts are quite astute - note how very few of her albums sound as dated as do many artists' albums from just a few years ago. Here's to hoping she can scale down from the vocal pyrotechnics of her youth and in order to see where her creativity takes her in what should be an extraordinarily mature and creative phase in the life of an artist of her caliber. (Friday 22 November 2019; 17:29)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,428) (91,433) by jaker20 from US So I guess we need to stream from December 13 to 19, to give it momentum. And then power stream on December 20 and onwards. (Friday 22 November 2019; 16:15)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,421) (91,432) by jaker20 from US I don't know if there's a maximum number to stream per day per user. I do know stans of other artists say they leave the song on repeat and loop. It might not add into the count as there's no clear rule, but it keeps the song on other people's "hot songs", or "popular this week" or "suggested songs", depending on which app you are using. So the goal is to get it recommended on there users' playlists. (Friday 22 November 2019; 15:04)

Re: Get off auto pilot, Mariah - keep creating (91,427) (91,431) by Tijl from Belgium She might just be tired of playing the game after 30 years in a very demanding business, always defending oneself. She is still standing yet plays it by her own rules by now. It is not as she could become a non-celebrity all the sudden. At times it must feel as being trapped on a treadmill. Used to a particular lifestyle with both the benefits and the entrapments that come with it. Respect. (Friday 22 November 2019; 11:03)

Can we all just commit (91,430) by Chicago Lamb from USA Can we all just commit to streaming AiWFC during the final week before Christmas? Can we all just commit to purchasing AIWFC days before Christmas? It's all we've got. #Justice4Mariah (Friday 22 November 2019; 04:31)

Re: Get off auto pilot, Mariah - keep creating (91,427) (91,429) by T from USA I agree but I do think one last album is all she needs. Her voice isn't what it once used to be and after about 30 years acts start to become more obscure and niche. Also if she doesn't feel like promo or playing the awards game then she will always have quick eras that really don't go anywhere. Caution is a masterpiece but if nobody hears it then did it really matter? I like how she's cementing her legacy, even though it seems a bit early she has been around a long time. And sometimes the market dictates when you become a legacy act. I wish she released more than just two albums this decades but I understand she had kids. (Friday 22 November 2019; 01:32)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,425) (91,428) by T from USA Streaming and buying are the Friday to Thursday. Radio is the Monday to Sunday. So on the week of Christmas radio will only have three days unfortunately (23rd, 24th, 25th) but sales and streaming will have six (20th-25th). It's a long shot but streaming is enough on those six days combined with three heavy days of radio she has a shot. Christmas 2021 is when the week lines up better as Christmas falls on a Thursday (end of the week for both formats). But we can't wait another two years. (Friday 22 November 2019; 01:22)

Get off auto pilot, Mariah - keep creating (91,427) by Geronimo from USA I am sincerely happy that Mariah is having so many late career moments of vindication for her excellent work back in the 90s. But, am I the only one who would really like to get some new and interesting music from her more than anything else? What I love most about Mariah beside her voice is the fact that she has always made high quality albums with a wide range of expressions (within a spectrum). She should be coming into her prime as a musical mind by this point not merely running her well earned victory laps. Come on Mariah - keep creating. (Thursday 21 November 2019; 22:54)

(91,426) by Edward from USA The weekly tracking period for sales was initially Monday to Sunday when Nielsen started tracking sales in 1991, but was changed to Friday to Thursday in July 2015. This tracking period also applies to compiling online streaming data. Radio airplay, which, unlike sales figures and streaming, is readily available on a real-time basis, is tracked on a Monday to Sunday cycle (previously Wednesday to Tuesday). A new chart is compiled and officially released to the public by Billboard on Tuesdays. Sales and streaming from December 20 to December 26 will give the song its biggest chance at reaching the number one spot. Early streams and sales are very important so the song could keep moving up the charts though. (Thursday 21 November 2019; 20:35)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,423) (91,425) by jaker20 from US Yes buying the song now doesn't really help much. You should buy it on the peak week. I just don't know when is the peak week but it's definitely around the 20th of December or just before that. Tracking week is so confusing to me. The streaming, radio and downloads tracking seem to be on different range of days. Does anyone know who can explain this for our benefit? (Thursday 21 November 2019; 15:12)

Re: Grammys, who cares? (91,414) (91,424) by Deedre aka MiTodoChop @HBF from Canada My sentiments exactly Stacey. Well said. (Thursday 21 November 2019; 14:20)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,411) (91,423) by T from USA You have to buy the song on the peak week from iTunes starting December 20th. Also pre-order the physical single on Amazon or her website. That will really be helping the song go to number 1. Plus stream on the week of December 20th. Spotify and YouTube. Maybe even call a few of your local radio stations that week to request the song. It’s going to take an effort on all those fronts to achieve the almost impossible. (Thursday 21 November 2019; 13:55)

Let's make it happen - 19th number one (91,422) by Mò from South Africa Shame on the Grammy's bunch, they have done Mariah dirty to infinity. I mean this is a woman who has written classics, broken barriers, a woman who has been proactively involved in the production of her music, a musical genius, made and broke records, infused different musical genres, made Christmas music bankable, why would the committee not recognise that, the list is endless. It dawned on me, she is too powerful for them, yet she is not on any man's leash, and we know that's how it's got to be as a female entertainer. It must be frustrating them, so awarding her would be crazy. All we want for Christmas is a 19th number 1, lets gift her. (Thursday 21 November 2019; 13:55)

Re: AIWFCIY, 19th #1 (91,411) (91,421) by Carlos from Brazil I'm not completely sure but I think Spotify and other streaming platforms only count ten plays for a day per user so I don't really see the need of US fans to stream it all day but ten times per day. I know this information lacks a source but I've seen it in a famous singer's stories on Instagram. (Thursday 21 November 2019; 13:43)

Re: Grammy 2020 (91,410) (91,420) by Musti from UK Exactly. Let's not forget the Grammy folks are mostly an arrogant bunch. But I'm glad she finally started giving them a piece of her mind. They never understood her, not even in her prime. They're are not likely nominate her under any circumstances. The good news is, no one really gives a damn about their dumb popularity contest. (Thursday 21 November 2019; 09:47)

Stay in her lane? (91,419) by Nikki from usa That's not what she did in '95. She pushed boundaries, she invented hip-pop and worked with more black artists than ever before. She was a woman in the industry that wasn't sexed up to sell and doing something different. Critically, she was applauded for it at the time. Her music hit the top of multiple genres at one time. Most music hit one major genre, but she exceeded that. They even seemed to be upset that she was directing her own music videos and tried to pass her off as a "ghost director". In '05 she made a plethora of urban music, did it well, nothing over the top. She was still ignored and wasn't even allowed to accept the awards she did win during the live broadcast. The irony is that each time she was used in the Grammy ads and promos to get people to watch their boring forever show and then they snubbed her both times. (Thursday 21 November 2019; 04:52)

Justice for AIWFCIY (91,418) by Bobby A from United States Ok, let's forget the Grammys. They snubbed MC again. So let's get AIWFCIY to number 1 the week before Christmas. So on 12-12-19 and 12-17-19 let's download, stream, request on the radio and YouTube the video like crazy on this day. #Justice for AIWFCIS [sic]. Wouldn't that be the best Christmas present Lambs could give MC for Christmas? (Thursday 21 November 2019; 01:50)
