Mariah Carey’s ‘You’re Mine’ Makes Hot 100 Debut

Published: Thursday 20th Feb 2014 by David

If Camp Mariah Carey opts to go ahead with the star’s May 6th album release date, the only fate the LP can be sure to face is…disaster.

A little dramatic? Perhaps. However, after watching its latest first single slip and slide out of iTunes Top 400 after a week of release, her team is now faced with the mammoth task of convincing the general public to purchase the Def Jam-backed piece.

Problematic, considering the difficulty they’ve had moving all of its singles, save for the ‘Clear Channel‘- pushed ‘Beautiful.’

Now, as if its iTunes run didn’t give Universal enough cause to rethink their strategy, today has seen  ‘Mine’ make its Billboard Hot 100 debut.

Where it charted?

Find out below…

Opening with 32,00o units sold, ‘Mine’ claws its way to #88, becoming the 46th single from the icon hit the ‘Hot 100’ and  her first non-collaboration/non-cover/non-holiday entry since ‘Obsessed.’ 

Indeed, had it not been for the digital streams garnered by the single’s music videos , the single would have failed to enter the chart’s Top 90, with its sales accounting for 62% of its chart points.

Alas, with a number of the star’s fans banking on radio support to lift the ailing release, there’s no doubt that it’ll take a Olivia Pope shaped miracle to rescue it…if it’s lucky.

For, while it’s a tough pill to swallow for many a ‘Lamb’, Mariah no longer commands the commercial power she harnessed in the 90s, and must now work her way back into hearts and wallets of the general public.

Not sure what we mean? Well, as the big wigs over at Universal will be all to aware of, 2013 saw iTunes rule with a 63% share in the digital music market, painting quite the horrific portrait when one realises just how little the digital community cares for Carey and her new material.

  4. Ebony Chem Fun February 20, 2014

    Billboard and US radios are disgusting pigs.

    They wont play songs by artists who are above 40 and above. Bring back the era where only good songs rule. Billboard supports generic artists Ritardna, Kunty Perry, Miley Slutrus and Lady Artpoop.

    UK Official Charts will follow Billboard’s strategy. Support ratings and these f**king mediocre artists for the sake of profits.

    Sad era…I miss 90s and 80s. Just pure music not ratings.

    Embarrassing…

  5. Arie February 20, 2014

    When Ariana Grande releases her CB assisted single it’s gonna be even harder for Mariah. If this single doesn’t pickup on radio plays then she needs to scrap the idea of releasing an Lubumbashi this year. She should take a page from Janet and do an up close and personal tour in small venues to drum up some interest. If that doesn’t work she needs to get two or three other powerful vocalists ie Fantasia and do a few dates with a tv special. She is facing an uphill battle.

  6. Arie February 20, 2014

    An album this year.

  7. RIP February 20, 2014

    Not a very good idea to release an album. 1st single a flop…the disaster will follow.

  8. h2o February 20, 2014

    Congrats Beyonce (back to #5) and Jason. I love “Talk Dirty”!

  9. Truth Tea February 20, 2014

    Her time has passed just like Madonna, Janet, Celine and Lady Gaga…

    • rico June 11, 2014

      B******* Madonna is still Madonna. If her time has passed why was 2012 a great yr ? Huh number one album with a top 10 hit Both Certified GOLD is the USA
      Can’t say that’s not an achievement after 30 consecutive plus years after her debut…..

  10. h2o February 20, 2014

    @ Lady Germagonorrhea

    Bey has had 51 Hot100 entries since 1997 … like what’s the tea

  11. Beyonce Pays For Grammies February 20, 2014

    Bey has 51st Hot 100…only 3 #1s.

    🙁

  12. Def Jam Team February 20, 2014

    Congrats to Mariah, and for those who don’t know, this entry into the Billboard chart which is mostly made of radio play is based on, sales and streams alone and a track that is only been on sale for 1 week, You’re Mine officially goes to radio TODAY!

    To avoid illegal downloading Def Jam released the single and video before officially putting it out to radio and as you all no this was done on Valentines day for marketing purposes to create awareness for the single!

    Do not believe the hype, the biggest media trick to bring down an artist is to keep telling everybody that there a flop because many people are fickle and don’t want to be attached to someone who is considered a has been.

    Mariah Carey will release a great album on May 6th and her team are also aware of the boundaries that are up against her now that she’s in the over 40 club

    Don’t worry lambs, all is good!

  13. h2o February 20, 2014

    @ Beyonce Pays for Grammys

    You mean 9.

  14. BrownSuga February 20, 2014

    As flat as those recent live showings

  15. BeachHouseBritney February 20, 2014

    Sorry but what? If the song is out of the top 400 why do you think anyone will care once it’s on radio. Do you know how many copies a song DOESN’T have to sell to make it out of the top 400. There are songs that came out ten years ago that have never left the top 100 let alone the top 400.

  16. JanetXone February 20, 2014

    @DefJamTeam Stop trying to intellectualize something that’s very simple. Mariah cannot sell singles unless she’s paid for play and this is becoming very apparent. I have never in my life heard of any single charting this low in the world’s BIGGEST outlet. Please save yourself the embarrassment and move on to plan b if you really ARE from Def Jam.

  17. Todd February 20, 2014

    I dont get it TGJ – yall act like u like her alot,yet ur shadin her all the time…. The fact that she entered the f***** chart proves the song is NOT A FLOP SINGLE and since when numbers=quality?

  18. NaviBoi February 20, 2014

    The worst part about this article is that it’s all true.

  19. BitchyBey February 20, 2014

    Girl, def jam must be f****** shitting themselves. TGJ are known to be hardcore Mariah stans and all this coverage on how badly the song is doing is exposing how troubled this era is.

  20. moech February 20, 2014

    LOL ! her album will flop harder . sorry LAMBS BUt JLOVERS R HATIN IT

  21. BTRusher February 20, 2014

  28. shaquinisha-rose February 20, 2014

    I don’t give two sh*ts about how many copies she sells, or what number her singles hit. As long as she is still making music I will be buying.

    Does anyone really expect her to sell the same amount as newer/younger artists? nope…and why should they. She is one of 2 female singer/performers over 40 whom the media/blogs actually acknowledge (the other being madonna), so she can’t be doing too bad if her name is still in people’s mouths.

  29. Heyyyy Ms Carter!!!!!!! February 20, 2014

    Beyonce now has 14 #1’s more than Mariah. #THEARTOFSNATCHINGWIGS

  30. AguileraMania February 20, 2014

    Is it anybody’s fault that the song isn’t selling?

  31. MissImpartial February 20, 2014

    Every song sounds the same and every video is the same in the last few years. I bet no one even knows the difference between each song/video. Boring beats/boring vocals don’t help either. Why doesn’t she try to do another Heart-breaker/uptempo song. The audience is different nowadays.

  32. Heyyyy Ms Carter!!!!!!! February 20, 2014

    Mariah will never be as good as Beyonce. #fact #seethe #deal
    Beyonce NEVER lip syncs.
    Queen Bey is not washed up & old.
    Queen Bey doesn’t use gimmicks to sell records.

    Excuses excuses. Mariah is flopping because nobody cares. Simples.

  36. h2o February 20, 2014

    @ RoyalRih

    And when they know their fav ain’t sh*t anymore, they start bringing up receipts from 1902 and use them for flamebait (as if anyone gives a f*ck in 2014).

    The shittiest stanbase in history.

  37. Ciara stan February 20, 2014

    She’s pathetic

  38. Davis February 20, 2014

    LOL I SENSE ANOTHER PUSH BACK

  39. Stephy Tha Lambily February 20, 2014

    Once again, Sam post another Mariah-Bashing article!

    Also, I called my local radio station 8x & requested the song but they aint never play it. Its hard for OLD-ER women artist to have success in the industry. They only play young artist music.

    Mariah Carey is gonna have to push back the album again & start recording with the best of the best (Neyo, Walter A, David Foster & Sia) if she wants top 40 material. Working with Jermaine & Darkchild is making her music sound out-dated because those producers are very out-dated!

    Anyways, congrats for her having her 46th entry as a singer SONGWRITER! Not someone that just attach their name to credits & steal a group sales & success & add it towards her solo success as if the other girls dont matter.

    Bye

  40. IStanForYourFav February 20, 2014

    Hmmmm… ok Sam. Let’s see here… I’m very confused on how the song is a flop when it peaked at 11 regardless of the drop. She is 40+ #1 on Ryhtmic radio, #5 on Urban. I bet people don’t remember (I do. I was the biggest Lamb ever at the time) that We Belong Together debuted at #81 back in 2005 and stayed #1 for 14 weeks after 7 weeks. Mariah’s selling power isn’t what it used to be. That we all can see and know for a fact. However, I don’t think Lambs have anything to worry about. If she keep releasing quality, I can become back a Lamb and be buying the record May 6th. However, I still think the next single should be uptempo and the album needs to be pushed up (no more delays darling) a month to April 6th. Just my two cents. Now to sit back and watch the mentally ill fight for no reason.

  41. Davis February 20, 2014

    THIS SONG WILL NOT GET RADIO SUPPORT NATURALLY ITS SOOOO BORING! I HAVE NOT LISTENED TO IT IN ITS TOTALITY BECAUSE ITS SO PAINSTAKINGLY BORING.

  42. NotLikeTheMovies February 20, 2014

    Excuse me, how is ANYONE trying to say this isn’t a flop. It’s not even the Top 400! And not the Lambs blaming age on anything, didn’t Beautiful go Platinum? People don’t care about Mariah anymore and when they do it’s because she uses CC, that’s just something you’ll have to accept.

  43. cake like lady gaga February 20, 2014

    Who are all these trolls? And why do they think anyone cares what their trolling asses have to say?
    I bet its the canadian troll @rosie with his 394525825 accounts. The poor transgender needs to find a proper job because he has a lot of time on his hands serving fries at McDonalds

  44. Thicke’sD*ck February 20, 2014

    The delusion is so real in this thread so let me explain this the simple among you.

    iTunes has the biggest share in the entire market which is why if a song is number one there it’s more than likely to be number on the H100. If Mariah is selling so little to the point that she can’t chart any higher than number 400 WHY do you think the single is going to randomly start slaying.

    That’s just not how it works. The reason we know this is because Def Jam are stalking every website to see what people are saying about the song and now that they know that we know how bad the song is doing they’re not going to waste any more money trying to support it.

  45. IggyIggyIggy February 20, 2014

    You Lambs are setting yourself up for failure if you keep lying to yourself. Advise your fave to push the album back or the album will flop.

  46. VisionofBeautiful February 20, 2014

    Wake up Lambily!!!!! Why is radio going to support it if people aren’t buying it. USE YOUR COMMON SENSE. Radio plays the songs they think will keep people tuned in so do you really think they’re going to get behind it now it’s doing so badly. I’m so mad right now I don’t even know what to do with myself. I have been saying that she needs to work on her live act and personality for YEARS and nobody wanted to listen and now look. I’m telling you today, radio is NOT going to support the song so we need to write to Def jam and ask them to think up something new this week.

  47. C February 20, 2014

    Really though people. Kelly clarkson had one of the biggest jumps in billboard
    History from no 91 to no one with my life would suck. Not saying
    This will happen with You’re Mine but an 88 debut is hardly
    Something to scoff at? Abd at this point Tgj is running a MC
    Propaganda mill? The song has been out for a week and this is based on
    Sales alone not airplay yet. Meanwhile where was the day by day
    tally of beyonces drunk in love trajectory up the charts? As John legends
    All of me and pharrells happy show never ever count talent and a
    Superb single out. Everything isn’t popcorn smash abd some songs
    Ascend overtime nothing wrong with that. It took dont forget sbout us nearly 12 weeks
    to ascend to no 1 abd WBT did not open in the top 10. iThe fact that MC commands
    Headlines on basic urban blogs To garner hits 25 years in is a testament to
    Her staying power and relevance.

  48. Stephy Tha Lambily February 20, 2014

    Reason why Mariah Carey is flopping in the 2010s decade

    1.) She has become old-er looking! In, this era looks are just as important as vocals.

    2.) Her vocals are not impressive to her older fan base that grew up during the time where she could belt out any note she thought of. And the younger generation dont really care about the high notes period.

    3.) Her image is very sloppy & uncomfortable. She dresses like a 2 dollar hooker. She acts like a mean uptight diva. She also shades everything that walks. Her run-on sentences while giving interviews are annoying. Her looking down & acting as if she is on some type of drug during interviews are throwing people off.

    4.) Her music sounds very out-dated. She needs to revamp her sound. #Beautiful was a great start in a new direction but then ART OF LETTING GO was released & that song was out-dated boring generic & the lyrics was gring worthy.

    5.) HER VOICE! Mariah’s been skatting by on thin ice with her vocals for the past 10 years or so. Ever since 1997 her voice has been suffering from NODULES which has weaken her power-house voice she had in 1995 and back.

    She needs to go on extensive vocal training if she wants to beable to give people chills with her voice again. NO DAIRY, NO DRINKING WINE, NO TALKING FOR MONTHS & Constant vocal training.

    6.) LOSE SOME WIEGHT & START DRESSING MORE UN-TACKY!

    Mariah’s style has always been borderline tacky. But as of lately its been downright ugly. She needs a better stylist & needs to stop stuffing herself into dresses 10x to small.

    7.) NEEDS BETTER MUSIC. Inclosing to my rant, Mariah needs better music PLAIN & SIMPLE. Everything thats been released sounds terrible compared to her other lead singles. Hell even Obsessed was a much better lead single than anything shes put out in the 2010s decade. She needs better music plain & simple.

    Now, if she doesn’t change anything she will continue to FLOP harder than Ciara & a fish outta water. But in all honesty THATS OK. She has already sold 165+ Albums, Sold 54+ Million Singles & Sold 5+ Million Videos worldwide! Sold an estimated 250+ Records & a CERTIFIED 200+ million records worldwide.

    1.) She wrote 17 out of her 18 number 1 hits.

    2.) She gave her fans classic era after classic era.

    3.) She has had a ver successful career for almost 25 years.

    4.) She has already made 500+ million empire.

    5.) She is the biggest selling female aritst in America & Japan. When singles are included.

    6.) She has broken & set many records over her career.

    So, my question is SHOULD MARIAH CAREY JUST RETIRE? hmmm

    Whitney Houston & Michael Jackson was both in horrible shape before making their come-backs but was forced to comeback due to their DEBTS/Bills.

    Mariah Carey on the other hand has a net worth 500+ million & Forbes reported her bank account has atleast 300+ million in cash. Also, her back catalog sells very well. She gets paid as a writter, Singer & producer. So, once again maybe she needs to just RETIRE!

    Or take a Prince-type of career and just release flop music left & right and dont give a f***!

    I hope Mariah is not bothered by her floppyness tho.

    Mariah you are still a queen & should not be bothered!

    Goodbye!

  49. CiciFinnaBeABride February 20, 2014

    Lol, you call TGJ a basic urban blog but you’re commenting here with us all the same. Shady as they can be, they are very powerful and the only singer they can’t touch is Queen Rihanna. They basically did more promo for “Ciara” than Ciara did herself and are the only reason people over here know who Rita, Jessie J or JLS are.

  50. oh February 20, 2014

    why didn’t she just use the Clear Channel deal like she did for #Beautiful? Surely her team are aware of the current climate, and anticipation people have for her music (or lack there of).

  55. My Forehead Tho February 20, 2014

    Her album had 4 first singles and was pushed back a year, clearly she’s bothered by flopping.

    #1 On Rhythmic RADIO Is Drunk In Love Babe (Mariah’s Song Is Not On That Chart Yet)

    #5 On Urban RADIO? No, That Would Be Drake (Her Song Is Not On There Either Yet)

    Since It’s Being Added Today, She’ll Get On Those Charts Soon.

    The reason Mariah is flopping is because her payola connections have dried up. Beautiful only went platinum because of payola.

  67. Hoping for a miracle February 20, 2014

    150-200k 1st week sales….for her new album.
    Mark my words. It is all about Rihanna, Katy and Miley now.

  69. Music Stan ( I came I conquer and I draged) ( yall know who I stan 4) February 20, 2014

    Even though being at #88 is horrible for her standards can we remember there are artists who even know what the chart even look like….. all of our faves on here has chart history where as some artist don’t know what number 88 look or feel like, I personally think Mariah just need to simply STOP trying to PLEASE a generation who is never please with anything if ain’t about being in the club, being ratchet, or having 7 millions features on the song then they aren’t happy… Radio is DEAD and will never be alive again… If the the music industry along with Biliboard are counting on the number of data streams to see if a song is a HIT… THE ENTIRE MUSIC INDUSTRY IS IN TROUBLE…. Data Stream is the weakest form of telling if you have a hit or not… people don’t even buy music anymore… you now have website like frostwire, and piratebay to get free illegal music without purchasing it.. I think Mariah should do just like all the other legends are doing just make music just for the love of the art and not for sales… Artists are forgetting the REAL reason why they want to be singer from the start because the Love of Music ….. Matter Fact there is the Million Dollar answer that everyone has been searching for….. Music is Dead because there is No Love in it anymore… too many Politics and No Love… The Entire Industry NEED to get the L.O.V.E BACK IN MUSIC quick… cause the Politic part of it is ruining it…. If there is Genuine L.O.V.E. in the Music many people will be successful… That’s my two cent… It is Sad!!!! I about to start Staning for something else.. I love Music but Music don’t love me back…. HELP

    Well she can kiss her career goodbye!! I knew it will flop she should just retire.. or sing at a farm with all her p** friends.#Happy26BdayqueenRIH

  74. JOHNVIDAL February 20, 2014

    As I predicted, it was going to be hard to make the masses care for the song cos it´s not what´s hot now. So it needs big radio support. Let´s not act as if any other artist her age can get hits, cos there´s no one getting them. But I´m sure they knew it, that her team knew this song was going to be hard to sell.
    On the other hand, this debut on the hot 100 is not bad, since the song was not sent to radio during that first week.

    Last but not least, how the hell can TGJ write these essays when it comes to Mariah Carey constantly but never does it for their favorite real flops??? And the mlost important thing, if you really think the song is that good as you are claiming you do, how can you bash it this way commercially? Isn´t good music the most important thing? Why don´t you do it with other songs you love which are huge flops? So corny, biased and superficial. Sorry.

  75. Old Slutriah Carey February 20, 2014

    Mariah is not a single, tour or album artist.

    What’s left? She should retire and just wait for the BET, Disney or VH1 to invite her to sing during award shows.

    Enjoy your ol’ money.

  76. JOHNVIDAL February 20, 2014

    And the same tired haters talking about payola when all their faves use it as much as any other artist! Seriously be real and stop the retarded hate.

    And to the person predicting 150,000 copies sold and that is all about katy and rihanna now: how is that bad for an artist in her 25th year of career??????? How the hell can you say that when Rihanna can´t sell only a little bit more than that at the peak of her career? Haven´t you seen the recent debuts by a lot of famous artists way younger than Mariah???
    That would be a really good debut week imo. Of course one can always hope for a big hit to hep the album sell a la e=mc2, but it´s difficult.

  77. JOHNVIDAL February 20, 2014

    @C
    Exactly!
    Where were the updates for Beyonce´s several flop singles from the first week during the last 4 years? Or even Drunk in Love from the first week? Nowhere. The other examples you gave are so good too. Sam hates Mariah even if he can´t help but admire her talent and career.

  78. Marley February 20, 2014

    Lambs trying to distract from Mariah flopping harder than fish out of water by coming after Beyonce and Rihanna.

    @JohnVidal, I wouldn’t be arguing with these people about sells cause that it is all about now in the Music Industry… These kids love to bring SELLS, AND CHART POSITION in their argument… This is why Music is Dead too many fans along with executives are soo worry about numbers and forgetting the real message and meaning of music… the Message, the feeling, and the inspiration… I read in alot of interview that Vision of love, Human Nature, I will always Love You, and My Life just to name a few were big inspiration for some of these artists… WHY???? Cause of the message, and they way how it make them feel when the ears connect to the melodies but now people are only worry about the chart position and sells…. Aretha, Chaka, Patti, Tina, Michael are consider legend not cause of sells, or chart postion because the amount of inspiration that they did in their generation…. Mary J Blige did exactly what Aretha and Tina did… inspired Broken hearted women that the grass is greener on the other side… No offend to Rihanna but what has she inspired this generation???? how to be ratchet, rude, and all about money…. It is sad that these kids think that is they improtance of Life… there is more

  80. uhhh? February 20, 2014

    This is why no one can stand the lambs now.
    Throughout all these comments all you see are excuses,misinformation about how iTunes and radio works,and distractions.
    The truth is the sing is boring and like most of her peers(Janet,Madonna, etc) Mariah has been on the declined. Except Janet and especially Madonna can always tour. The truth of the matter is Mariah is going through a popularity decline and has for years now. Everyone else seems to know this but the lambs. It’s funny you all cling to stats she she got over 20 years ago,it doesn’t take away from the fact she achieved them,its just not helping her at this point.
    Had this been anyone else,they would be called flops. I keep telling people Mariah without payola charts like Neo-Soul artist on the Hot100.

  81. ROSEGOLD February 20, 2014

    The Mariah hate and Hive vs Lamb stan war baiting is getting pathetic.

  82. MC!!! February 20, 2014

    my thing is how you call a single a flop when it just came out??? it debut on 88 and 87 on the both the uk and us charts and just made a debut on the Hungary charts at 14 and #21 in spain the song is doing well for it to not be on radio…and so what if the youtube views helps her thats not her fault billboard counts youtube views! that helped alot of beyonce singles so far including drunk in love…i wish TGJ would leave mariah alone and let her do what she does best for 24 years thus far..making music. I hate sam who tries and thinks he knows about people’s careers when he claerly doesn’t . He thought #beautiful was going to underperform(it didn’t apparently) too but praised it at the same time..he needs to make up whether he likes mariah or not. I think he feeding off mariah because he wants her to fail so bad and it’s not happening. smh and didn’t if i were a boy debut at #100

  83. MC!!! February 20, 2014

    when you have vocal nodules your voice is set up for deterioration anyway just look at julie andrews she had a surgery and her voice(beautiful soprano) is completely gone. Reasons why i dont want mariah to get surgery

  84. Absolved February 20, 2014

    Why do Mariah fans keep on trying to put a band aid on this and making excuses. Debuting at #88 would be well and good, if the song was steadily climbing…but it’s not, it’s freefalling. So #88 will most likely be its peak.

  85. Kitty February 20, 2014

    Both Britney and gaga’s first singles debuted a lot higher the Mariah’s. i think her new album is gonna do Britney Jean numbers

  86. ILOVEJAMESDEAN February 20, 2014

    Seriously, I can’t understand all this hate.

  87. Oinkriah Carey (Pork De Force) February 20, 2014

    if a song is free falling on itunes in it’s second week it’s going to fall right off the billbored chart the next week then what kinds of excuses will the lambs come up with? *grabs pop corn*

  88. L21480 February 20, 2014

    The problem here is that iTunes now matters too much. If radio still controlled the charts like back in 2000, IDJ could salvage this. Billboard should slash iTunes importance by at least 50%.

  89. Ready February 20, 2014

    The lambs really don’t know anything about how the music industry works, do they? All i see is excuse after excuse. tbh.

  90. LOL February 20, 2014

    LOL IT’S ‘SALES’, NOT ‘SELLS’ LOL.

    THIS GENERATION NEEDS TO TAKE THE ENERGY THEY SPEND ON STAN WARS AND USE IT ON LEARNING PROPER GRAMMAR LMAO

  91. Gigi February 20, 2014

    “You’re Mine (Eternal)”

  92. Codi February 20, 2014

    @GiGi you’re not helping those numbers are embarrassing for a legend like Mariah. shes’s use to debuting in the top 10

  93. Molly February 20, 2014

    Yea this is horrible considering theres 2 music videos for the song and this is the best it can do? Smh get it together lambs.

  94. Theman February 20, 2014

    PEOPLE GIVE THE SONG SOME SPACE.. WERE NOT TRIPPING.. SAM NEEDS HITS, SO HE TRIES TO BASH MC.. SHES BEEN CHARTING LONGER THAN EVERY CHICK ON THIS SITE, ITS A DEBUT…. Y ARE BEYONCE FANS SO EXCITED AS IF SHE HAD AN INSTANT TOP FIVE SMASH? MARIAH’S GOT THIS.. AND 150k to 200k is actually damn good for a female artist. How many current flops can even pull that? THERE ARE NO EXCUSES. EVERY ARTICLE SAM HAS WRITTEN HAS BEEN NOTHING BUT BASELESS ESSAYS.. POOR BEYONCE.NET.. HE SHOULD APPLY THESE POSTS TO THE REAL FLOPS HE SUPPORTS.. THIS SOMG IS GOING FOR ADDS SOON.. IF RADIO SPINS IT SHELL BE GOOD. MC IS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN.. SHE DOESN’T NEED TO BE STICK THIN.. THIS IS A NICE SONG, WASN’T BIPOLAR SAM PRAISING IT BEFORE ONE INTERVIEW THAT SHE DID.. LOL AT THE HYPOCRISY.. ARIANA CAMT EVEN GO GOLD, SHE HAD ONE HIT FROM A FLOP ALBUM, SHE’S A NONFACTOR.. SHE’S BEEN COUNTED OUT BEFORE.. BUT MARIAH IS WARRIOR !!

  95. Theman February 20, 2014

    IT’S JUST A DAYUM DEBUT.. ARE Y’ALL REALLY THAT PRESSED? “ALL OF ME” DIDN’T START CLIMBING UNTIL RADIO STARTED SUPPORTING IT, AS WAS BEYONCE.. SAM WILL BE EATING CROW SOON.. U KNOW SOMEONE’S PRESSED WHEN EVERYTHING THEY SAY IS NEGATIVE.. WHENEVER HE DOES “THE VAULT”. ALBUMS/SONGS HE USUALLY PRAISES THEM.. LOL HE MADE AN ARTICLE JUST TO HATE, HE COULDN’T HATE THAT IT WAS A HIT IN THE US, SO HE TALKED ABOUT WW SALES LOL.. HILARIOUS.. WHERE WERE THESE ENDLESS CHAPTERS FOR BRANDY? KELLY? ELIJAH? RITA? NONE OF THEM EVEN HAVE A RECENT GOLD ALBUM.. TERROBLE JOURNALISM IF U CAN EVEN CALL THEM THAT..

  96. GRUMP February 20, 2014

    Lol the way people are so gullible. Blurred lines debuted at #94 on the hot 100 and went ahead to spend 14 weeks at #1. We Belong Together(song of the last decade) debuted at #81 and we all know what happened with that. The song was just sent to radio and except you’re really checking for Mariah(no one really is tbh) you probably haven’t heard it. Radio loves the song and it has gotten more spins than obsessed in its first week and this is before IDJ sent it to radio. Give it time and do not believe the hype or the trashy editors at TGJ.

  97. Ross February 20, 2014

    The song has officially dropped out of the itunes top 100 and her fans expect the radio to save a song that’s not even selling?? i can’t with the delusion today.

  98. slay_hive February 20, 2014

    This song SUCKS. What does radio or Beyonce have to do with anything? Beyonce’s DIL debuted at #12 and hasn’t left the top twenty on BB 100 in ten weeks and #2 on R&B/HipHop,and hasn’t left top 5 on that chart, in ten weeks! NO comparison

    You’re Mine is flopping on itunes. It will more than likely drop out of the hot 100 next week. The videos hasn’t helped, 106 &park hasnt helped, her radio interviews hasn’t helped. Bringing up “blurred lines and all of me” doesn’t mean you’re mine will have the same results.

    Mariah is done, and the lambs should accept that. She had a long successful career.

  99. Theman February 20, 2014

    Beyonce was done after “4” to right? Mariah is far from done. If u take away Beyonce’s AirPlay her single would be done. If radio was spinning this & it was doing decently then that’s another story. If this had been someone else that Sam likes he would’ve had a different take on it. But he’s a hater, he needs hits. Rihanna ain’t got nothing going on, & Beyonce is boring, so Mariah being the superstar she is will carry this awful site.. Beyonce has support from radio, this song doesn’t yet. Beyonce isn’t Katy/Rihanna/Miley her singles don’t go right to the top.. She needs AirPlay also.. Don’t act like all offl her singles are hits, because many of them aren’t.. As for John & Robin’s songs, whose to say that Mariah won’t do as well. U just don’t want her to.. But she will do well. When did Beyonce fans get so obsessed with iTunes? She doesn’t dominate that chart, that’s the funny thing lol..

  100. Truth February 20, 2014

    this song is rubbish…period…full stop.

  101. whenindoubtthetruthwillout February 20, 2014

    Beyonce NEVER lip syncs!!!!!!

    So what about Obama’s presidential inaugaration last year?????????????????????

  102. Slay_hive February 20, 2014

    Hun you will realize real soon that Mariah is done. She’s old news at this point. Her music is BORING, her image is desperate, and no one can relate ot her “superior” diva attitude. lol

    4 wasn’t commercial. Beyonce didnt succumb to the industry’s generic trend in 2011. She didn’t record that album for chart success either. She’s stated it several times. The album still sold 3 million WW. Mariah’s last album didn’t even sell that with “obsessed” being a hit.

    Mariah on the other hand, is DESPERATE for a hit and doesn’t want to flop. . or she would have released the album on the original release date of July 2013.

    Beyonce is slaying NOW. 4 is the ONLY album that didn’t produce commercial hits. Even though Love on Top was #1 on R&B charts for seven weeks and peaked @ #20 on BB 100.

    DIL is a HIT. LOL She has only released two from this album. Im over you lol

  103. DCom February 20, 2014

    Yes But rember in 2005 in march We belog together charted at #84 and look how that song turned out! To be her biggest single of the last decade so the track is doig well esp since it hasnt been released to radio

  104. VZ February 20, 2014

    Just read all the comments and couldn’t stop wondering: if you don’t like the artist why even bother to leave negative comments?! Say, I don’t like Rihanna/Lady Gaga, I wouldn’t even bother to write anything negative about either of them, as it will be a total waiste of time. I like and respect Beyonce, but again not a huge fan of hers, so no point in leaving any comments either. Seams like most people leaving their negativity on here have nothing else to do in their lives but to write all this rubbish. Go, do smth, support your favourite artist other way than shitting someone who you don’t even know. Most of you writing this s*** and being disrespectful to the artist and to each other are just losers. Go work for charity or smth, it will make more sense

  105. Theman February 20, 2014

    Yet “4lop” was her fourth album and she could barely sale three million WW, some kind of king. She had no top tens either.. Beyonce didn’t follow trends, which is why that album wasn’t as successful. She’s not known for being an inventive artist anyone. She’s a cut, copy & paste kind of chick.. See > (YOUTUBE)…. LOL.. IT TOOK “DIL” a while to become a hit tho.. It wasn’t a hit out of the hate. Major difference.. She can’t release singles and they fly up the charts instantly. She’s not her peers that have that ability. Also Mariah has been out a lot longer than Youtubeyonce, so the fact that she is even charting is incredible. Radio helps sustain a hut.. U of all people should know that. Then to u are a Bey Stan, so that sums it up.. As said before people want her to fail so bad, but Mariah ain’t Mariah for nothing. Speaking of following trends, Beyonce sure did follow them this go around, with her “King Of Dismond” & “Pole Dancing” performances.. She saw Rihanna & Miley & wanted that kind of press to. Yeah her album is doing better than there’s, u mention that a lot.. But that’s it.. She’s visually mimicking them.. Yet she’s not trying to compete. Lol Flop in your nearest seat..

  106. Theman February 20, 2014

    Excuse the errors typing fast..

  107. DIGGER BEY February 20, 2014

    Looka here…..its @The Woman. Flop debuted #88 lmfao The fresh hit as u say lmao. DIL just moved up 3 spots to #5, when u said it was falling lmfaoooooooooooooooooooooooo. When are u gonna realise Hasbeeniah is over and THE QUEEN REIGNS SUPREME over that farm animal. F*g u are clearly a NON MUTHAFAWKING FACTOR B*TCH LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

  108. DIGGER BEY February 20, 2014

    The Woman is so Pressed and Delusional, its reflecting his words. The b*tch is breaking down lmao. THE QUEEN peers = Britney, Alicia, Christina, Pink, JT, Usher and a few more. Majority of these people can’t sell albums today so i know damn well their singles aren’t racing up the charts. B*tch do u have a brain???? Also u said THE QUEEN is trying to bey like R****. Hun i guessed used missed Pigiah on top of that piano performing Flop with her dried titties hanging out and i guessed u missed when Hasbeeniah post instagram shots of her n*** n a bubble bath. B*tch u are clearly delusional ass hell. Please seek help instead of trying to come for THE QUEEN.

  109. Theman February 20, 2014

    Mariah was in a dress @DiggerBum, Clearly u cannot see.. U say the same shyt. Yawnnnnnnnn U are the weakest on this site.. Terrible grammar, and a bunch of idiotic posts. Of course Beyonce isn’t Mariah’s peer, Mariah is superior to her musically. U got that right.
    Did “DIL” not fall last wk or nah? U bum a** bytch.. U take this site way toooo personal. Get a job.. Beyonce has not a damn thing to do with MC, when will u realize that? MARIAH > THE REST OF THESE INDUSTRY CLOWNS.. Congrats to “DIL” rebounding now spend that energy getting the song to number.. Go watch Beyonce hump arena chairs for press..

  110. Mya February 20, 2014

    @The Man. Its flopping. Suck it up and deal. This isn’t Beyoncés fault.

  111. Danxe February 21, 2014

    I love Mariah and her new song. Yes it’s slow but i love the hypnotic melody and the hook.
    But i don’t think this song will hit the top levels of the Hot 100.
    I know it doesn’t matter about getting more no. hits or what not. But I am really hoping she does. and as many have pointed out she needs a powerful song.
    If there is anyone that can ever take this music industry back to an era of good music, Mariah Carey will be that one. But need’s a song. A song better than We Belong together, which only Mariah can do. Surprise us mariah. We are waiting.

  112. Theman February 21, 2014

    If radio decides not to play then perhaps we can talk. The song has been out for a mere wk people. Some songs have to be warmed up.. This is a good radio friendly song. @Mya your name alone disqualifies u from everything..

  113. Musica February 21, 2014

    Beautiful got a lot of boost because Mariah was on Idol last year but now that she’s not on TV regularly, there’s less hype for her. That’s why she needs to try and collab with other people whether it is duets or features. Album release is on May right? How about a Mother’s Day special promo? She could also come on Idol to guest mentor rather than Judge.

  114. leah February 23, 2014

    Pleaseee!!! Beyonceneyneye is a wanna be Mariah then jacked jlo amd shakira and now riri!!! Beyonceneyneye can’t even be on the same octave level, quality vocal level, chart level or a non copy cat level. Gimmicks? ?? LmFao!!! Mariah built her career on her vocal golden pipes!!! Gimmicks are those beyonceneyneye uses like copy other artist and bounce her as like cheap hoodrat in the projects, those are gimmicks. Check please!!!

  115. leah February 23, 2014

    You mean Mariah came for herself? Because thats the only queen i see!!! In fact if you want to check receipts sheis in FACT the queen b (butterfly), when bbeyonceneyneye has a quality true gifted voice (never) like mariah Whitney or celine maybe.we can talk until then check please *zips wine and watches beyonceneyneye keep bouncing her ass like the ratchet raunchy b**** she is*

  116. Right February 24, 2014

    This is a joke. You guys are comparing Madonna to Mariah who came out almost 10 years before her and Beyoncé to Mariah who was out 7 years before her. Rihanna and Katy don’t sell records. He’ll Justin Timberlake had the biggest selling album of 2013 with under 2 mll. You all are comparing MC to the success she enjoyed in a very different musical era. Beyonce album 4 sold when she announced she was pregnant and didn’t produce 1 solid hit. My point is everybody is flopping. Mariah had her time and in her time none of these girls could touch her. The Emancipation proved that because she beat them all in their heyday. If you check album sales for the 2000 Mariah sold nearly the same thing as beyonce with only 3 album releases, so how is Beyoncé the queen of anything???

  117. Forensics February 24, 2014

    You guys are all as shoe none of these women give 2 shots worth a damp about you! All they want is your money and attention and your fighting over them like it’s world war 2. In the words of Tamara Braxton “Get Your Life”. Mariah, Beyonce, Madonna, they are all living the good life on you. Acting like it’s your success all you lovers get a f*** in job. Dumbasses!!!!
