About jaker20 from US: You Will Never Be MC

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: 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: Re: Grammy Award nominations (91,397) (91,406) (91,415) by jaker20 from US Lol. This nominations list is garbage. Hilarious. (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 20:27)

Re: AIWFIY Hot 100 Chart entry last year (91,396) (91,400) by jaker20 from US It is moving too fast. This is the first time it's entered top 40 before Thanksgiving. Prepare your streaming devices on December. Maybe we should schedule a streaming party? Does anyone know the peak Christmas tracking week this year? (Wednesday 20 November 2019; 00:36)

Re: My predictions for 30 years in 2020 (91,379) (91,382) by jaker20 from US I'd like a video for There's Got To Be A Way with the original version, because the video they made was for the remix, which is just an awful super cheap remix. It is one of Mariah's best vocals and the remix was horrific, completely destroyed the song. (Monday 18 November 2019; 00:07)

Re: Grammys (91,368) (91,371) by jaker20 from US I would be so happy if MC gets a nom. It is undoubtedly one of her best albums. Imagine gettting a Grammy now, 29 years after your already iconic career. It will fire her up to serve us more quality albums. (Saturday 16 November 2019; 17:44)

Mariah on being the top female solo artist of all (91,358) by jaker20 from US On the overall artists list, she is no.4, behind The Beatles, Rolling Stones and Elton John. If AIWFCIY goes to no.1, I am pretty sure she will go to no.2 at the very least. At least. Because, if I'm not mistaken, none of those artists above her have that huge gap between first and last no.1, 29 years in Mimi's case, along with her high peaks. Not saying though that Mariah will not have another hit, in fact, AIWFCIY getting that record could rekindle public awareness as well as her creative juices. So next decade, beating The Beatles will then be in play. What a great time to be a lamb. . (Friday 15 November 2019; 18:32)

Re: Merry Christmas repacking (90,577) (90,591) by jaker20 from US I want her to also release the acapella performances of AIWFCIY, like the original studio performances, some of the live performances, and the Fallon acapella with The Roots. (Tuesday 13 August 2019; 01:02)

Re: So much movement (90,553) (90,556) by jaker20 from US Also of course Camp Mariah. It's interesting that Christmas was release at the same year. It is no coincidence that both will become her legacy. When she gives she receives tenfold. (Wednesday 7 August 2019; 18:08)

Re: So much movement (90,513) (90,552) by jaker20 from US It does feeL like Mariah is building momentum for Christmas anniversary. She did the same last year with the masterpiece album that is Caution, and the song peaked at number 3. I rather Mariah not perform the song, because when she does it loses its steam. It's weird I know, but that's how it went. Just let the song do its thing. Mariah is a streaming monster, the size and beauty of her catalog is just unreal. Once more lambs jump into streaming maybe that will push it. She looks great, she looks happy, and Nas breaking her record actually put her name back into the spotlight. Can you imagine 14 year olds who probably don't know her songs going "Nas broke Mariah's record", they naturally go and check her discography. I hope the mix-ish theme is a bop, that would be the well-timed perfect storm. (Wednesday 7 August 2019; 00:33)

Old Town Road is a great song (90,486) by jaker20 from US On 20 April 2019, I posted on MCArchives: "I would like Mariah to collab with a country artist. Old Town Road is one of the hottest tracks I've heard in awhile, and hopefully Mariah can branch out to that genre too." That was 3 months ago. Search it, page 50 (or 51 now probably). That was before the song completely blew up. I knew I heard something, because you know, I got a good ear for a hit. The truth is, huge hits sometimes happen by accident. You don't know what will be a hit. Artists have to experiment and find it somewhere deep inside them. Mariah herself said it sometimes you can't tell if a song will be huge. She actually thought WBT will not be a huge hit, and that It's Like That will be a bigger hit. Well, everything happens for a reason. (Wednesday 31 July 2019; 00:55)

Re: 16 Weeks (90,430) (90,437) by jaker20 from US He can break the record. With the way it's going, it will probably stop at 18 or 19 weeks. In the streaming era, it doesn't really mean anything anymore anyway. "Oh wow 18 weeks at number cause people pay $10 a month to stream a million different songs." It is a useless record now lol. (Friday 26 July 2019; 20:07)

Re: Obsessed re-enters iTunes chart (90,421) (90,423) by jaker20 from US Glitter being number 1 at iTunes is great, it's good for the album's visibility and bragging rights. But iTunes is irrelevant. It becoming Apple chart is their way of phasing it out so they can fully push their streaming service. Sorry but just saying the truth. (Friday 26 July 2019; 01:35)

Re: Obsessed re-enters iTunes chart (90,399) (90,404) by jaker20 from US That's all good but iTunes is literally irrelevant. No.900 is probably less than 100 downloads or something. iTunes will be discontinued soon. (Wednesday 24 July 2019; 19:04)

Grammy Album of the Year (90,314) by jaker20 from US Is Caution in the conversation for Album of the Year? I think she should be. Sometimes the Grammys snubs hot artists of the moment, and kinder to legends. (Friday 12 July 2019; 22:03)

Re: Mariah is hilarious (90,235) (90,246) by jaker20 from US 1 million likes. I wish these were actually convertible to streams or album sales lol. She's so funny. (Tuesday 9 July 2019; 01:57)

Re: 13 weeks (90,227) (90,232) by jaker20 from US Sadly OTR is guaranteed to take the record. It's already guaranteed to spend 14 to 15 weeks at number one at this point, and unless something blows up next week, then its over. And even then, OTR's lead is too big right now to be taken down and other songs aren't gaining enough points. This new chart where streaming dominates the formula is making it normal for songs to spend 12 to 15 weeks at number one. Maybe something will show up next week, but I doubt it. (Sunday 7 July 2019; 15:49)

Mariah doing great in streaming era (90,198) by jaker20 from US Rolling Stone has a new weekly chart of most streamed artists and Mariah is at number 241, higher than popular recent artists like Ava Max, Sia, Selena Gomez, and also Madonna and Whitney. She will probably be in this chart's top 3 around Christmas time. (Thursday 4 July 2019; 22:57)

Re: Who she'd rather? (90,104) (90,117) by jaker20 from US Ariana. But honestly she probably won't do it. She can't even get Cardi. (Friday 28 June 2019; 01:47)

Re: Charts (90,083) (90,094) by jaker20 from US Mariah also did bundles, but managed to debut only at no.5. But I'm glad Mariah is still serving quality 30 years into her career. This is what I want Mariah to focus on, not the charts. (Wednesday 26 June 2019; 01:12)

Charts (90,055) by jaker20 from US How long can Mariah hold her chart records? One of Mariah's bragging rights is her chart run during her peak. It looks like Old Time Road is on its way to finally breaking One Sweet Day's record that was tied last year by Despacito. It's on its 12th week at no.1 and based purely on its gap and how big the song remains, this is bound to happen. I feel like there's literally 15-week number one songs every year that the chart records don't matter anymore. In the end, her 18 number ones will most likely be her most enduring record, but that's not even a real record because the Beatles have 20. Also this week, Madonna is scoring another no.1 on the album charts. Can you believe that Madonna actually outlasted Mariah? Thoughts? (Monday 24 June 2019; 00:46)

Re: Stella and company (89,975) (89,976) by jaker20 from US That is so messy and embarrassing. I don't get why she would send embarrassing photos like that. Does she not know how technology works? If its on anybody's phone, even your phone, it will find its way out. She didn't even do her make up lol. But honestly in this day and age, that is pretty tame and no one will care. Let this be a lesson for her though, hopefully she'll learn. In the end, the public don't care. They see it and move on. If that's Mother Theresa then the people would be shocked. But come on, we've seen Mariah act like that on her videos and even on some photoshoots. So what's the big deal? My only regret is that he's not properly made up and the lighting was bad. But in the end, no one cares. She served a great album and hopefully the Grammys take notice and have a comeback narrative. (Friday 14 June 2019; 01:47)

Re: Madonna & Maluma - Medellín (89,228) (89,234) by jaker20 from US Madonna is always collaborating with someone new. I would like Mariah to collab with a country artist. Old Town Road is one of the hottest tracks I've heard in awhile, and hopefully Mariah can branch out to that genre too. (Saturday 20 April 2019; 00:12)

Mariah is thankfully well adjusted (89,220) by jaker20 from US What's happening to Britney (God bless her and what she's going through) made me realize how surprisingly well adjusted Mariah is. For someone who has achieved so much fame and success, she still managed to be level headed, heading into the next phase of her life and career that she will be able to enjoy. All the love the tributes. Because many may have had great success but not many have been successful in enjoying it. If only all lambs can be like Mimi. I admit, sometimes I'm guilty too. But I do think it's time we mute the negative nancies here, because they will pull you into their mess and join in their misery. It's not always about being on top, but also enjoying what you have achieved, because in the end none of these matters but our health and happiness. (Thursday 18 April 2019; 00:52)
