About jaker20 from US: You Will Never Be MC

Oh Santa 10th anniversay next year (91,872) by jaker20 from US Come on, we got to come up with something right? (Sunday 22 December 2019; 00:49)

Re: New music (91,855) (91,866) by jaker20 from US Caution should have been released this time of the year, and it would have gotten more hype. Streaming platforms recommend same artists sometimes on playlists, but they didn't think of it that way. There is this analogy of streams being water. She's got this massive flow of streams, in facts she's about to break streaming records again, but it falls into a cliff immediately after the holidays. A new year's single this more celebratory would have been good for New Year's to pick up some of that attention. It should be something that is perfect to pick up on AIWFCIY and can be played throughout the year. A pop single like Katy Perry's Fireworks, or something. They tried that Auld Lang Syne but it's a misguided effort, because no one listens to such a song afterwards. Frankly if she releases something outside of the holidays, she's basically back to square one. The build-up of attention to AIWFCIY got is unique this year, partly due to its 25th anniversary and tracking week aligning to good good amount of days, which fired up her marketing team. Next year is not guaranteed she'll peak again. I guess her team were also caught by surprise. (Saturday 21 December 2019; 19:09)

Today begins is first tracking week of 2020 (91,818) by jaker20 from US She is no.1 on iTunes and streaming continues to go up. Hopefully it's strong enough to balance out the expected drop on the 26th, but with no strong competition, it's looking really good so far for her to snatch another iconic record: 1 no.1 in 4 decades.

Re: Mariah (19 No 1's) and Rihanna (14 No 1's) (91,780) (91,787) by jaker20 from US If Mariah will collab I would rather with someone whose not established, like someone's career she can help launch with her as the main artist and the new talent as a feature, like a reverse Lil Nas X - Billy Ray Cyrus situation. Merely collabing with another diva won't cut it. Its always about the right song. That magic. (Thursday 19 December 2019; 15:49)

Re: Billboard week of 12.28 (91,743) (91,747) by jaker20 from US You can say the same about its current chart position, which is for "week of December 21, 2019", but that's based on last week's sales and streams. (Wednesday 18 December 2019; 14:24)

What's our opinion on collabs? (91,723) by jaker20 from US Now that Mariah is at the cusp of beating the most legendary record of all, The Beatles, I'm sure many artists who have ignored her in the past would want to jump to her train and be part of history. Not just collabs with artists, but writers, and producers, etc. Personally I wouldn't want her to get collab no.1, but if she can get one for a quick 20th no.1, then she can save her solo for the 21sth no.1. By the way, I'm glad Mimi didn't promote the Bieber duet of AIWFC or this would have been another Ed-Sheeran-Beyonce scenario where fans of both artists are claiming the success of the song. AIWFCIY is all Mariah through and through. (Tuesday 17 December 2019; 16:37)

Re: 19th No 1 (91,718) (91,722) by jaker20 from US Yeah this is the right time to release a hot new single. She is probably getting her creative juices flowing right about now, and when she's inspired, we know what can happen (see Emancipation). (Tuesday 17 December 2019; 16:32)

Re: Caution (91,659) (91,681) by jaker20 from US I agree. So much has changed in the last 10 years, in fact just in the last 5 years. Streaming has been very kind to Mariah because streaming is what the people want to hear, not what the industyr [sic] force us to hear. The truth is, artists can do gimmicks, expensive videos, sing big notes, do crazy viral stuff, but in the end, it always boils down to a great song. Mariah is proof of it. She makes great music. And if Caution is any proof, her best is yet to come. (Monday 16 December 2019; 20:15)

We did it (91,678) by jaker20 from US I can't believe. I love that MC was basically absent from the charts this decade and then hit us with the most legendary chart run in history. I can't wait for the headlines. Which will only drive more excitement to the song. (Monday 16 December 2019; 19:50)

Re: AIWFCIY's chart position next week (91,653) (91,675) by jaker20 from US What time are getting some official numbers? I'm so anxious I can hardly contain it. (Monday 16 December 2019; 19:42)

Re: AIWFCIY's chart position next week (91,652) (91,653) by jaker20 from US It is so close. Keep streaming. Stream stream party stream. (Monday 16 December 2019; 01:00)

Re: The next 13 days including December 26 (91,640) (91,642) by jaker20 from US Opinion based on Circles still being far ahead on radio. No.1 is a possibility but I'll be careful for now and say it will be number 2. But that is ok. The new tracking week starts today, Friday, and Circles is already dropping on radio, and AIWFCIY is starting to explode on streaming daily, and its gone up on iTunes. So if not this Monday, the next Monday is looking very good, and then again next Monday when orders of physicals are shipped. But lets not be over-confident. I say, starting today, we party stream every single day including December 26. That will give the song the historic two weeks at no.1 at 2 different decades. (Sunday 15 December 2019; 00:54)

The next 13 days including December 26 (91,634) by jaker20 from US The next 13 days are crucial. Its her final chance to get a no.1. It doesn't seem like she got it this week, and she will peak at no.2 (new peak). Which means our final chance is the next 13 days. (Saturday 14 December 2019; 17:25)

Still neck and neck, it's gonna be very close (91,623) by jaker20 from US Keep streaming. Create your playlists and leave them on repeat. Lets go for the final push guys. I heard there's a new bumbling song just about to explode and possibly block her next week, but I rather not mention and give it more attention. Just keep streaming. Stream stream stream. (Friday 13 December 2019; 23:09)

Re: AIWFCIY's chart position next week (91,609) (91,618) by jaker20 from US Don't stop streaming this weekend. It's a festive weekend. Keep streaming. (Friday 13 December 2019; 16:02)

Streaming party starting today (91,594) by jaker20 from US It looks like is going to be very close this week and will boil down to literally just a few points. Lambs, the most legendary fanbase of all, it's time to get festive. Stream stream steam. (Wednesday 11 December 2019; 21:54)

Re: Just a streaming tidbit (91,582) (91,584) by jaker20 from US I'm not sure that's how it works. Besides there are at least or 6 versions of the song over the years which includes the live version. So what I do is I create a playlist and loop them because all of them are actually really good specially the new Tokyo and St John. Does live version count? Does anyone know? (Tuesday 10 December 2019; 17:54)

Re: Article: "All I Want for Christmas Is You" returns to No. 3 high (91,571) (91,579) by jaker20 from US Get those AIWFCIY cds and vinyls, they are amazing. So if she doesn't get the no.2 this next two weeks we can at least guarantee it on Christmas week and the song's streaming completely explodes. (Tuesday 10 December 2019; 14:35)

Re: #3 (91,561) (91,564) by jaker20 from US This is absolutely incredible. Almost there and way ahead of schedule. Keep streaming. (Monday 9 December 2019; 21:12)

AIWFCIY possibly already top 10 this week (91,538) by jaker20 from US We will find out today or tomorrow. If that is true, we should start heavy streaming this very week. Wouldn't it be sweet if she gets a no.1 this decade, and then in the first week of the next decade? (Friday 6 December 2019; 15:23)

Re: December 26th AIWFCIY lamb streaming party (91,535) (91,537) by jaker20 from US December 20-26. That's the key. But it's moving so fast right now it could get higher sooner. Let us not worry who will or will not surprise release. We have the streaming support of the pubic. Honestly, the new Taylor song sounds so awful. It sounds like a ripoff of so many other Christmas songs. (Friday 6 December 2019; 14:53)

Re: AIWFCIY jumps 31 to 18 on Billboard (91,509) (91,512) by jaker20 from US At billboard.com, you can change the dates tracking date and compare. It is doing better this year but it's not a direct comparison because the days within tracking week is different. For example, last year, its at no. 29 for week ending December 1, 2018. This year, its at no. 31 for week ending November 30, 2019, and no.18 for week ending December 7. (Tuesday 3 December 2019; 21:01)

AIWFCIY jumps 31 to 18 on Billboard (91,500) by jaker20 from US She's really coming. She's also no.6 on Spotify. Get your coins ready. Remember lambs, December 20th is the date to get those cds, vinyls and power streaming. (Monday 2 December 2019; 22:34)

AIWFCIY is already no.8 on Spotify (91,486) by jaker20 from US Its coming in very hard on streaming this year. And we're still in November. I really hope this is the year. (Saturday 30 November 2019; 20:08)

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.
