The lambs..smh..well the lambs up here. Most one's I run into aren't as mean. The REAL reason why this single was #1 seller of 2001

"After the song's release in the United States, "Loverboy" stalled on the Billboard Hot 100, leading Virgin to reduce the price to 49 cents. After the price cut, the song reached a peak of number two on the Hot 100, though failing top the chart due to weak radio airplay. Though finishing as the best-selling song of 2001 in the United States, "Loverboy" became Carey's first lead single to not reach number one. Internationally, the song failed to garner strong charting, reaching the top-ten in Australia and Canada, and the top-twenty in Italy and the United Kingdom.

THAT MEANS SHE CHEATED(LIKE SHE NORMALLY DOES)TO GET THAT RECOGNITION AND THAT TITLE AND STILL ONLY MANAGED TO ONLY GO GOLD. DONT GO THERE LAMBS I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO REMEMBER WHY NO ONE TAKES MARIAH CAREY SERIOUSLY! COME AT THESE TEENS ALL YOU WANT BUT LETS NOT EVEN GET INTO HER BEING BROUGHT OUT OF HER VIRGIN CONTRACT DUE TO VIRGIN RECORDS WANTING TO LET HER KEEP THE LAST SHRED OF DIGNITY SHE HAD AND NOT DROP HER,STRIPPING ON TRL,METAL BREAKDOWNS.IF THIS SONG WAS SUCH A HUGE HIT WHY DID IT END UP BEING #80 ON THE YEAR END HOT 100 CHARTS...EXACTLY! MARIAH CAREY IS A FRAUD! JUST LIKE EVERY OTHER POP STARLET AND MAJOR HIP-HOP/RAP ARTIST POST 1990.
