Like rival Madonna, Mariah Carey‘s ability to “comeback” is uncanny.
Indeed, despite a number of commercial missteps, the diva always manages to get back in the good graces of the masses; case, point, her new single ‘#Beautiful’.
Thanks largely to a coordinated Clear Channel radio deal (which saw the track played every-hour-on-the-hour on FIVE formats upon launch), the cut has not only rocketed into the Billboard charts, it has -in the process-become Carey’s biggest hit in four years.
Details after the jump…
According to this week’s tally, the Miguel assisted number has entered the Hot 100 at #24 – a feat which sees it serve as not only this week’s highest new entry, but Mimi’s most successful single on the iconic chart since 2009’s ‘Obsessed’ (which peaked at #8). Prior to now, recent tries have included ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ (peaked #60), ‘Up Out My Face’ (peaked at #100) and ‘Oh Santa’ (which also peaked at #100).
Elsewhere, ‘#Beautiful’ opened at #10 on the Hot Digital Songs chart with first week sales of 114,000 – becoming Mimi’s eighth top 10 on the tally and first since ‘Obsessed’ reached #6. While the song blazes #32-#7 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and #16-#2 on R&B Songs. And…debuts at #1 on R&B Digital Songs.
Last week saw the breezy mid-tempo open at #44 on the Hot 100 Airplay chart after debuting on the count following just two days of of airplay (see: 31 million impressions). This week, with the numbers from the first-day radio deal now confined to a previous tracking period, ‘#Beautiful’ maintains its rank and 31 million in audience – which, though not amazing, is still a super strong start now that the “corporate scaffolding” has come off.
With a number of major promotional stops on the horizon, including a performance on the American Idol finale tonight (which we’re told will be a medley) and Good Morning America, we imagine the song will continue its rapid rise.
Of course, the debate as to how much of a “hit” the song legitimately is will rage on given how it was launched. Add to that the fact that hit singles don’t auto-equal hit albums these days, and it’s clear Mimi still has her work cut out for her. For now, though, she’s once again a hot commodity. Not bad after 23 years in the game. Not bad at all.

I feel like it’ll peak within the top 10 if not be her 19th no.1
sam y haven’t you posted Beyonce coming out on stage last night and apologizing for cancelling a show and telling how the doctors told her not to perform lastnight but she did anyways. She really loves her fans and its clear she not pregnant bcus she wouldn’t risk her unborn baby purposely. They have footage of her apologizing last night
23 years later!
#thatis all
Lets see where will Nicki be 23 years later lol.
Can you say payola.
Why are you worried about Nicki? lol who mentioned her?
Sitting on a pile of money like Queen Latifah is – she’sll leave the music business bc singles <<<< album sales
yup playing the victim and using nicki minaj as a stepping stone is paying off.
Its funny how you focus so much on the 1 day radio deal. You never mentioned it when Justin and Madonna did it!
You always try to shade Mariah!
The song is doing incredibly well, that radio deal was for one day. He stays hating. He praises certain artists when it’s convenient for him. He’s a supposedfan f real music, bu the hating is endless….
I’m hoping this will be like “It’s Like That” and get people warmed up for a big era. Mimi f***** up her second and 3rd singles from the last 2 albums so let’s cross our fingers we don’t get another “Bye Bye”/”I Want To Know What Love Is” and “Lovin’ U Long Time”/”HATCHU” awful choices and the public agreed.
I agree 100% with you. I loved the Emancipation of MiMi Era!
definetly. the memoirs of an imperfect angel album was her best since butterfly. they released ALL the wrong singles. and e=mc2 in my opinion is her worst album. still good but seems thrown together just to have another album. so i HOPE after Beautiful they release more hits
Memoirs and E=MreCycled were solid albums E= is my 3rd fave MC album. I found the problem was aside from the lead singles, i didnt hear any SMASHES. All i heard was Dance/Club remix pity #1’s. Side Effects should have been an urban single at least and they should have sent Migrate as the 2nd single based on all its hype.
For memoirs, Up Out My Puss shoulda been the 2nd single, fun, light. Then Angels Cry. Then Candy Bling. Candy Bling would have smashes R&B radio so hard. By the time Up Out and Angel got released Ch… Aint nobody care!!!! I need life this era not sleep meds Mimi!!!! I need vocals and the correct singles PLEASE!!!!! In the end it doesnt even matter how big the songs get they just need to be the right songs with a good video and some good performances. If its right the fans really dont are about the #s we just want the album to get the shine it deserves based on good singles. I am just not here to struggle thru bad single choices just sitting on the Bubbling Under chart like it has a grudge against the Hot 100. We Mariah fans have had nothing but struggles post-Touch My Body. We are overdue for an era with at least 3 good single choices!
I just laughed so hard at “HATCHU”.
I agree! Memoirs made me so MAD… All the wrong singles…. Candy Bling would have been a HIT!!!! ….. Memoirs was released during the time Trey Songz was HOT so why wasnt Inseperable as single??!!!
Ugh!!! just thinking about it makes me MAD… her #19 and #20 were in that album!
Where’s Beyonces hit?
Id worry about Ciara first honey.
B**** Ciara has a top 30 hit id worry about your old fat repetitive fave
But WORLDWIDE, almost every single released from “4” outsold “Bathroom Party”, so . . .
LMAOOO @ Worldwide
Body Party is an R&B song Girls that run the world was a hip -hop anthem that was performed GLOBALLY even on Oprah’s farewell and the Billboard Awards and still only peaked where Body Party did in the U.S.
I NEED U TO BRING FACTS!!!!!
DEAD @ bathroom party. I like how people are pulling out ‘Top 30’ as measure of a hit. What’s next? Your fave has a Top 80 hit? Gurlbye
brewing!
@Bahroom party ahahahah let be real love on top and party were also pure r’nb hit yet they have outsold all single ciara release lately
It’s also #2 on the R&B Charts @TGJ. 🙂
Anyway, I could care less if this song goes to #1 on the ‘Hot 100’or not – I just want to go and see her on tour and bask in her – 250+ Million Records Sold WW – iconic presence.
#NothingElse.
This s*** is goin to flop#flopiful
It’s already a hit fool.
this song is not a hit boo! sorry just because its dayview at a certain position doesnt make it hit honey! its all about longevity from the way im seeing it this s*** its gonna out the charts in 3 weeks! smells like a flop!
Girl instead of worrying about Mariah’s hits, work on that poor spelling. “dayview”?????
I’m not a huge fan of MC, but gotta give credit where its due! Congrats mimi!
Where’s the Nicki stans who said she couldn’t chart tho??? #oop
SLAYRIAH !!!!! CEMENT BOOTY MINAJ COULD NEVER TOUCH MARIAH’S THRONE.
in that photo, she thinking about a double stake cheeseburger & a box of donuts. lol whaleriah is hungry. feed that albino elephant.
And what’s Rihanna thinking about in every one of her photo shoots? How big the next d*** she’s gonna get is? She certainly spreads her legs like it.
NO F** RIH IS THINKING ABOUT HER MILLIONS OF DOLLARS!!! AND MEANWHILE STAY HAS SOLD OVER 3 MILLI IN THE USA ALONE
I am a huge Rihanna fan, but stop. Rihanna has so much respect for Mariah, unlike a lot of the other young singers. She loves Mariah. She deserves her credit, Beautiful is off to a great start.
yeah mariah thinking about food when ur fave thinin about drugs!!!!
Bwahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your lessor faves snatched!
Grrrl you are doin too much with those hashtags. Got me craving blueberry waffles
#ihopsnatched
What the hell are you “snatching” because practically ALL of those artists have had bigger debuts within the last 4 years while Mariah was flopping! So I guess you’re proud that she almost had a bigger debut but didn’t than the other artists you listed? Awww… That’s sad. #youruneducatedass SNATCHED!
On a side note, I love Mariah… I love this song… I hope it goes to #1!
Onika Garbaj’s stans must be somewhere helping her pick her next flop single so that “The Re-Flop” can finally go 2.00X Nigerian soldier’s balls’ sweat.
All the Queen needs to do is keep up this momentum and she’ll be walking all over the the second rate “singers” of our generation.
SO FIRST YOU WERE LICKING BEYFAT’S ASS AND NOW YOUR CALLING F****** A QUEEN WHAT A F***** KII
NO MATTER WHAT!!! NICKI WILL ALWAYS SHIIIIIIIT ON F****** HAIRY!!!
^ The only thing Onika “shits” is the actual tons of silicon she keeps loading her elephant ass with.
To the Mariah fans – I think you guys should just ignore the existence of Nicki like Mariah does!
Its clearly working for her!
Thanks to Payola the song will be out the top 40 next week.
Its already in the Top 40, with a debut at #24 and on the digital songs chart, its at #10
Meanwhile Ariana Grandes The way is at number 12
And Selena Gomez is #6 with Come & Get It 😀
That’s nice. Too bad she had to use Miguel and a radio deal to get it. #TeamDoItYourself.
Except the Clear Channel deal did not impact THIS week’s Hot 100 entry. Radio has been playing it on its own since Day 2 and coins freely given for the downloads. Try again boo!
If Miguel wasn’t on the song it wouldn’t of even charted Mariah is done
LOL yeah right! That´s why this is Miguel´s biggest hit ever…
But now that you mention him: yes we love him! Just real talent hun, not like you know who 🙂
LOLOLOL So Sam loves the song, admits it´s a hit and admits that Mariah´s longevity can only be compared to Madonna´s… but he still feels the need to throw his weak shade??? #pressed It´s so weak I can only smile when I read the same thing over and over again: Madonna, Justin Timberlake and so many more had that type of first day deal. The thing is #Beautiful has kept its strong climbing on radio anyway. A hit!
Can´t believe AI´s finale is already here!!! And yes it´s a midley. I can´t wait. The most surprising thing to me is that Vision of Love is part of the Midley!!!!! She has not performed it since 2006 I think. I suppose it will be a little portion of the song since the midley has like 6 songs in it and I doubt a single singer is allowed to own half of the finale. I wouldn´t mind though 🙂
Sam is a hater.. period.
Payola.
I completely agree with you. Sup with all the MC hate on here? Just about all new songs get a similar treatment now. Even Kelly’s new one was playing every hour on the radio yesterday.
Watch it start falling off the charts like Body party is doing..
And here we go again with the crazy and fake likes and dislikes thing. Like seriously, is it TGJ playing or Mariah haters are truly that sad? lol
This is a record breaking number
for the most DISLIKES of all time I guess
There you go, h** .. WELL DESERVED XD
Thank U much lol
i think they are truly that sad,freedom of speech just got killed.
YES MIMI YES. Keep snatchin wigsssss daaahlin! 23 years later and you’re still doing it big. Some of these b****** can’t even get past 10 years….even 5….*yawns and feet up*
I love her but i don’t like this song at all.
the hive is angry LMAO beautiful charted higher than any beyonce song released these past 2/3 years and mariah slays your fave again years after her prime and another thing guys mariah may have got the radio deal but days after it expired it’s still being played and why the hell am i explaining when mariah has the most played song in history she the QUEEN of RADIO! everyone needs to have a seat and just deal with mariah being the best DEAL!
Um no. Why is just the Hive you target all the time?
Two BeyHives commenting negatively about a Mariah-featured Miguel single on an urban blog hardly represent the entire fanbase.
And I don’t see how “Mariah slays Beyonce” either. While Mariah has the huge album sales, Beyonce is above her on tours (by actual light years), power lists, endorsements, and almost everything else . . . . .
It’s still beyond me how Mariah has been out for two decades and a half and made a half billion, while Beyonce made that in 3 years, and is surpassing it two years tops!
There must be a reason . . right?
EDIT: made half that*

Love #Beautiful. It’ a great song. Can’t wait for her new album. I love ARTISTS who can SING and who are creative and intelligent enough to WRITE THEIR OWN MUSIC !!!!
Uses Miguel’s hype, American Idol, Pays Radio .. #24 ??
FLOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP LMAO!!!
GET EM GET EM XDDD
#TRUTH #FACT #DEAL
Damn TGJ!!! Have some journalistic integrity and fact check before you post something! “Obsessed” peaked at No.7, not 8.
The radio deal was for one day.. since then its been gaining airplay so obvy radio programmers are liking because they keep spinning it. Its doing great on itunes for Mariah anyway and will only get better as the airplay increases… like back in the day when a song would take weeks to top the charts, thats how i feel this will do
and btw christina aguilera had the same deal for “your body” and it only went to #34
Some people are truly pressed. Just that
She had to use someone to get a hit.
hilarious.
You stan for a woman who used to tell people she sucked lil wayne’s d*** for attention.
Nicki has used everyone and she still has no #1s 🙁 How is High School doing on the Hot 100 sis?
Where is High School at though? LOL
#94 didnt even make top 40
The same place this flop will be next week
PAYOLA??Give me a break..If you want to talk about Payola,then payola is:-
1.Having your first week sales reviewed upwards by 50,000 copies every single day to instigate rush buying
2.Y.M.C.M.B overshipping your album just for platinum certification and 1 year later,even after a rerelease,hasn’t sold a million yet
3.Labels buying youtube views (insert your fave’s name)
Funny thing is,had this song flopped,nobody would mention Miguel…face it,she has longevity that your faves wish they had but since majority lack talent,they wouldn’t have it.
ANOTHER FACT remains MIMI is a legend and legends are ALWAYS relevant,Nobody calls DIANA ROSS irrelevant despite not having a hot 100 hit since 1989…i imagine how pressed you’ll be when you realize Disney paid Mariah more money to record that “flop” ALMOST HOME for OZ than your faves got from their smash hits (see DIAMONDS)
So keep hating while QUEENRIAH continues serving as inspiration for all those b****** you stan for
#BEAUTIFUL
H** stop the only reason the song is selling is because Miguel is singing the whole song
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!! lololol slay honey! just slay with the obvious facts 🙂
The song is amazing and another great collaboration for Mimi.
Now it’s official, as Charlamagne would say, Miguel should stop hanging with the lessors.
LMAO @ pressed f*** acting like Miguel is some mega star. He can barely sell his own music, how can he sell Mariah’s? He has two albums and neither of them are gold. I like him, but stop being delusional!
#PRESSED
I don’t like the song. It’s still growing on me but anyways
Barbz SEETHE. Let’s see if nicolas can have this relevance 20 years
from now as much as u Stans like to chat s*** about charts which ain’t lookin too good for Nicki these days. lol.
B**** please mariah boxy ass is a fraud. She can’t sing, she dressed like a 50 year old s*** and shes a B****. Nicki is young beautiful successful n relevant. Why exactly would the barbs seethe f**?
This explains why you have such poor taste in music. 🙂
but Most of Queen Nicki’s songs charted higher then this current flop mooriah is pushing. deal with it h**.
I like Nicki. I like Mariah.
The fact that you ignorant fools are comparing the two baffles me. Nicki is on one side and Mariah is on the other. Please stop comparing a pop-rapper to a legendary singer. It’s making me nauseous.
Yall should be comparing Nicki to Carly-Rae or Rihanna. The only difference is Nicki has talent.
Navy, you’re stupid. Go home.
Shut your ass up. Are u mad because Nicki is dominating every avenue while that flop b**** in your Avi is struggling to stay afloat? Go buy Bubbling Under Down Low and Crying Laundry off of iTunes you loser!!!
Lmao omg
Whooaaaa. . keep the Navy off your lips. . .
She can’t! I had to check her about that s*** yesterday. Chile, she is the epitome of PRESSED!!!
Nicki has talent? Gurl bye
Did I step on someone’s toes? Oops 🙂
I think I made my point pretty clearly. I don’t have a reason to be mad. This is exactly what everyone does. The best comeback for you guys is to come for Kelly Rowland?
So so sad….Hahaha 🙂
That reply was for @Super Cisus The rest of you were ignored. I pissed on @navy sailor yesterday.
Gurl BAI! The only person you pissed on was your haggard ass mother. #STAYPRESSED
You wish. 🙂
BTW…That was really weak.
Try again.
P**** b**** Carly ray could never be on Nickis level. Nicki is a MOGUL. You need to focus on ur second rate shadow fave and her absence on the chartzz
@Super Cisus
Says the Nicki stan….lol
Come on. If you’re gonna come with that bullsh-t at least make it sound believable. 🙂
I didn’t once put down Nicki. Know why? I don’t need to. I’m sorry that the truth hurts. I was simply saying that she and Mariah are not on the same level. Nicki has a long ways to go.
If this is about Rihanna, then you should always expect me to talk sh-t. Her navy brings it on her.
And you keep bringing Kelly into it. I’m actually getting bored going back and forth. You have really weak responses.
I’ll try my best to sugarcoat it next time to spare your feelings. 😀
you are Doing the most to be honest , your ass is lucky we don’t drag Stans of b****** who can NOT sell more than 300+k in the first week.
Ohhh sh-t. Tell me when it’s my cue to be scared….
What’s the worst you can do?? Tell me my fave cant sell records? That’s all y’all can ever say to anyone. Weak sh-t. Funny thing is I don’t need a “we” because I can drag you all by myself. Yes, you stan for someone who can sell, but you also stan for someone who does many other things. You got your reasons who you stan for and I got mine.
Try me 😛 You can stop reply if you want to save face.
Or did you think I came unprepared?
those fake likes and dislikes are so cheasy ugh ,i mean seriously, its hard to tell what commenters are really thinking etc…. SAM IS A FRAUD LIKE THE FRAUD HE STANS FOR.
Haha Rihan thought she could take down Mariah’s record!!! Think again you Goat Bleating S****!
Just putting it out there but All I want for Christmas peaked at #23 last Christmas.
Anyways, congrats to Mimi! 23 years and shes still killing s***! I live dahling!
#23? Flop watch it fall of the chart next week without that radio deal
These comebacks are weak. 🙂
We all know how this song would have floped without the help of Miguel
Mariah has come to show rihanna that stripping to get hit singles will not overtake her record! Go Mariah!
Meanwhile Mariah is half naked on a motorcycle gyrating in the Beautiful video. 🙄 girl sit!!!
she can’t even chart higher then rihanna anymore tho lmao the delusion on this site is real.
I can’t with that watermelon head of hers
Ariana grande’s song is higher then #floptiful on itunes. lmao
AND THE MOORIAH FANS ARE PISSED
Critics have praised her bright future as a Sumo Wrestler, go Mariah a new career after 23 years in the game, so proud of her.
I’m not a stan of Mariahs, but d-mn! You guys are really hating on a legend… Now that everyone and their momma can top the charts, ppl feel the need to compare their fave to Mariah. Sad day.
I personally feel that Mariah doesn’t need to top the charts. As long as she makes good music, then I’m good. Topping the charts benefit her, not me. Besides, she’s proved herself 18 times over.
Go ahead say “Well, Kelly can’t top the charts!” I’m ready for you lol
KELLY IS A NOBODY A SHADOW A SAD PUPPY DOG SHES A FLOP AND ARIANA GRANDE SLAYS HER ALL MARIAH AND YOU WILL DEAL PUNK B****
omg…omg…omg…I’m crying :'(
lol
Was calling me names suppose to justify your comment?
I didn’t know A Grande had stans. 🙂
Urinal Grande stans tho 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 …Best of luck with her debut album DAYDREAMing
And happy 23rd Birthday VISION OF LOVE (It was actually yesterday)
What a f****** legendary debut! I mean can u imagine any of nowadays h*** debuting with a song like Vision of Love?? Not happening, and still they feel entitled to disrespect someone who is 100 times better than their faves…
This entire post is a f****** mess. This site is full of 13 year old self-hating f***. Loons, all of you!
b****** are trying all ways to be creative with their shade but all i see is reductiveness 🙄
I Love the Song , Loved the Video , Don’t care if it’s gonna be #1/Top5/Top10/etc… and most importantly , I lOVE mariah, She’s a Legend and she can flop 100000 times and my love for her won’t change.
i’m waiting for her iconic diva-licious facial expressions tonight 😉
These girls are steam pressed and I LOVE IT. Coming for legends because they’ve kept class in session for 20+ years schooling your faves who could never and will never.
The haters can go choke and gag now that Mariah’s back, that’s what they do for a living anyway…
The struggle for her to perform is real on american idol tonight…
wow.she is indeed a legend…23 yrs down the road n she is still killing it…Beyonce n Mariah r my two angels and i hate it when people compare them…..keep doing your thing my beautiful angel.
#Beautiful is a hit already,
It was the highest debut for.
A single on billboards hot 100 charts
For that week it was released,
it is now considered certified gold,
It has done amazingly on the charts.
It was number 1 in over 30 countries,
Mariah Carey has ruled the charts since.
her debut album, Mariah knows what it.
Takes to hit #1 and if Mariah wants a hit.
She will make a hit, regardless if #Beautiful.
Hits #1, its still a hit.
Remember when everybody thought
Mariah was done…? She then released
The Emancipation Of Mimi, which i know.
most of you people hating loved at least one
Song off that album,
The Emancipation Of Mimi was the
Best selling album, Mariah gained her
Second longest running #1 song on billboards.
With “We Belong Together” 14 weeks at #1.
We Belong Together was the most played song.
In 2005. The fact of this manner is
“Never” doubt Queen Mariah cause she is
Very Unpredictable.!
