About Edward from USA:

AIWFCIY (107,836) by Edward from USA It's on Billboard news. (Monday 23 December 2024; 22:02) this is a reply to message 107,832

AIWFCIY (107,832) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States Most weeks at #1 on streaming? Where did you see that? (Monday 23 December 2024; 18:47)

AIWFCIY (107,830) by Edward from USA If she secures two more weeks at number one in December 2025, she would break Old Town Road's record as the song with the most weeks at the top. This week, she has already surpassed Old Town Road's record, becoming the song with the most weeks at number one on streaming. (Monday 23 December 2024; 16:19) this is a reply to message 107,828

AIWFCIY (107,828) by Pedro from Brazil According to early predictions, AIWFCIY is expected to hit #1 for an 18th week, leading Brenda by nearly 20 points. (Monday 23 December 2024; 13:21)

Greatness (107,825) by Edward from USA I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this, or maybe it's just me, but Mariah's whistle register has deteriorated to the point where it doesn't even sound like her anymore. I'm pretty sure if some of us have noticed, she's well aware of it too. I felt really sad when I heard her part on Ariana's "Yes, And" remix, it sounded unpleasant to the ear, even when studio tweaking was involved. I kind of feel that Mariah might not believe she can deliver great vocals in the studio anymore. if that's not the case, it's hard for me to understand why she hasn't released at least an EP for her loyal fans in six year. Don't get me wrong, I'm extremely happy with AIWFCIY breaking records and setting new ones, but if that's all we're going to get from her, it's starting to feel like a one-trick pony to me, especially when we know the greatness she's capable of. (Monday 23 December 2024; 04:36)

Passion (107,812) by Edward from USA I hate to rain on your parade, but Mariah's passion for creating new music doesn't seem to be the same as it once was. Even when she talks about it, there's a noticeable lack of the excitement she used to have when she couldn't wait to share what she had been cooking up in the studio. She's far from being in the vibrant "Mimi era" energy. She should team up with some big names like Rihanna, Beyoncé, Ariana and a few others to release a collabo album. It feels like only her core fanbase is eagerly anticipating new music from her. (Saturday 21 December 2024; 01:49) this is a reply to message 107,811

Fortnite game (107,811) by Bobby A from United States Have you seen MC's likeness in Fortnite's Winterfest yet? The graphic designer got her likeness perfect. I like the fact that MC said yes to her likeness being apart of Fortnite's Winterfest. It is just another great treat to continue her holiday dominance. By the way, AIWFCIY's radio spins have increased this week. I think MC has a new manager and team working with her. She hasn't had so many interviews, endorsements, and merchandise/media partnerships in a 3-month period in a long time. Could we be headed into a promotional season similar to TEOM in 2025? (Friday 20 December 2024; 22:25)

Week 3 (107,807) by Edward from USA AIWFCIY has already tied Old Town Road for the most weeks at number one on streaming (20 weeks). If it remains at number one next week, as projected, Mariah Carey would set a new record. She would also be within three weeks of reclaiming the record "One Sweet Day" record. (Thursday 19 December 2024; 17:35) this is a reply to message 107,805

Week 3 (107,805) by Bobby A from United States What a great end to 2024. This is a good sign that people will embrace MC16 in 2025. I am predicting a summer release. (Wednesday 18 December 2024; 22:32)

Week 3 (107,802) by Edward from USA AIWFCIY is projected to be #1 next week. She's setting a new record in 2025. (Wednesday 18 December 2024; 13:05)

Next week's race is tight (107,798) by Edward from USA When Brenda hit number one last year, it was only for the first two weeks. As Christmas Day gets closer, Mariah's numbers are way stronger than Brenda's. I'm pretty sure Mariah will stay at the top for a third week, and most likely a fourth week as well. (Monday 16 December 2024; 19:38) this is a reply to message 107,797

Next week's race is tight (107,797) by Shezz from Pk Talk of the Charts has Mariah at number 1 with a tight 5 point lead over Brenda Lee for next week in its midweek prediction (chart dated 28th December with tracking week ending on 19th December). Let's hope she holds on for a 3rd week at #1. She could possibly have a 4th week as well for the tracking week ending 26th December. If all goes her way, she could get her longest number 1 title back next year - this time solo. (Monday 16 December 2024; 15:59)

Spotify news (107,788) by Edward from USA Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" is the most-streamed holiday song of all time and officially the first holiday song to break 2 billion streams. Congratulations, Mariah. The way I see it, Mariah will stay on top until the end of the year. (Saturday 14 December 2024; 17:16)

New AIWFC CD single (107,786) by Edward from USA I didn't know there was a new AIWFCIY CD Single out. (Saturday 14 December 2024; 00:47) this is a reply to message 107,782

New AIWFC CD single (107,782) by Jamie from UK I just received my AIWFC new CD single, I wish it was available on streaming too as I don't have a CD player anymore and want Christmas Wrapping on my phone. (Friday 13 December 2024; 18:06)

So happy (107,771) by Edward from USA AIWFCIY is already projected to hold the number one position on the Hot 100 next week. Even though it's still an early prediction, the song seems to be performing really well across streaming, radio, and sales. The competition is tough though, RATCT and LC made huge jumps to their respective top five position on the chart. (Tuesday 10 December 2024; 14:16) this is a reply to message 107,770

So happy (107,770) by Zachariah from Croatia I am so happy for number 1 position again. So so happy. (Tuesday 10 December 2024; 12:34)

Marc Shaiman (107,763) by Edward from USA Unlike Walter Afanasieff, Marc Shaiman brings a unique touch as an exceptional lyricist. "Christmas Time Is in the Air Again" and "One Child" stand out as the best written and produced tracks among the four original songs on the album. These songs come closest to recapturing the musical quality of the Merry Christmas album from 1994. (Monday 9 December 2024; 02:15) this is a reply to message 107,762

Marc Shaiman (107,762) by Bobby A from United States Marc Shaiman's two Christmas songs with MC reminds me how MC can just hum the melody at the piano and any piano player can reproduce exactly what she hummed. I just know that is how Christmas Time Is In The Air Again was created. We need an album just solely produced by Marc Shaiman. (Sunday 8 December 2024; 23:56)

One wish or a possible fact? (107,756) by Edward from USA I anticipate that All I Want for Christmas Is You will secure two more weeks at number one this holiday season, while Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree and Last Christmas could each claim one week at the top. This would position AIWFCIY just four weeks away from breaking the record for the most weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. (Thursday 5 December 2024; 19:27)

Could it be possible (107,747) by Edward from USA Lil Nas X has tied his own record with Tipsy, as 19 weeks remains the longest a song has ever stayed at the top. Given that Mariah Carey's All I Want for Christmas Is You lost a bit of momentum last year, I didn’t expect it to perform as strongly this year. However, it seems AIWFCIY might still put up a tough fight for the top spot this season. It could either dethrone Kendrick Lamar next week or face a dramatic diva showdown with Brenda the following week. It's going to be interesting to see how things will play out. (Wednesday 4 December 2024; 02:21) this is a reply to message 107,746

Could it be possible (107,746) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter I want the latter to happen just to see this happen haha. "Brenda might knock Mariah right out of her stilettos and snatch her wig off or Mariah might have Brenda relocated to a nursing home for a couple of weeks." Jokes I think AIW has a good shot this year. Is she now competing with Old Town Road or Tipsy? Because I think Tipsy has the most weeks at number 1 right now ya? I could be wrong. I'm tired of these one hit wonders dethroning our queen, I would have been fine if it was one of bigger artists. (Wednesday 4 December 2024; 00:24)

Could it be possible (107,744) by Edward from USA On the Billboard Hot 100, Kendrick Lamar holds seven positions with new songs from his latest album, GNX. These positions include spots 1 through 5 and 8 to 9. "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey and "Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga & Bruno Mars hold positions 6 and 7, respectively, but are marked with descending bullets, indicating a decline. If Kendrick Lamar's "Squabble Up" does not remain at number one next week, it’s highly likely that Mariah Carey’s "All I Want for Christmas Is You" will take the top spot as the holiday season continues to heat up. If my predictions are wrong and Kendrick Lamar stays at number one, Brenda might knock Mariah right out of her stilettos and snatch her wig off or Mariah might have Brenda relocated to a nursing home for a couple of weeks. (Tuesday 3 December 2024; 20:42)

And somewhere on the Billboard charts (107,741) by Edward from USA Billboard Hot 100 10. All I Want for Christmas Is You (+) 15. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (+) 18. Last Christmas (+) 19. Jingle Bell Rock (Re-Entry) Billbaord Holiday 100 1. All I Want for Christmas Is You (+) 2. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree (-) 3. Last Christmas (+) 4. Jingle Bell Rock (-) (+) Ascending Bullet (-) Descending Bullet (Tuesday 3 December 2024; 18:00)

Billboard 100 (107,728) by Edward from USA I didn't even know iTunes was still around or a relevant indicator on anything pertaining the charts. (Friday 29 November 2024; 17:04) this is a reply to message 107,727

Billboard 100 (107,727) by Bobby A from United States The top 20 holiday songs on iTunes is very interesting today. Of course, MC is #1 and numerous new songs from some popular artists. (Friday 29 November 2024; 16:39)

Billboard 100 (107,725) by Edward from USA A song could reach number one on the Billboard Hot 100, yet rank only number 10 on the Holiday Chart. This happens because each chart reflects different aspects of a song's performance and caters to specific audiences. The Hot 100 reflects overall popularity across all genres, combining metrics like streaming, radio airplay, and sales from a broad audience. In contrast, the Holiday 100 Chart focuses solely on the song's performance within the holiday genre. It factors in specialized radio airplay, genre-specific streaming, and sales data relevant to that category. So, a song might dominate the mainstream charts due to widespread appeal, but its performance within a specific genre may be weaker in comparison resulting in a lower ranking on that genre specific chart. (Thursday 28 November 2024; 17:39) this is a reply to message 107,723

Billboard 100 (107,723) by Shezz from Pk TJ's point still holds though. How is AIW higher on Hot 100 than Rockin' Around if the latter is number one the holiday charts? Maybe Hot 100 uses more or different measuring metrics than the holiday charts or the tracking dates might be different? Reminds me of a similar question I have for the Grammys at times. Sometimes songs that have won song of the year or record of the year have not gone on to win in their respective pop/rock/country etc field. You're saying this was the best song all year across the board but it wasn't the best pop song? (Thursday 28 November 2024; 03:15)

Billboard 100 (107,720) by Edward from USA These are clearly two distinct charts. The Holiday 100 focuses exclusively on Holiday music, while the Hot 100 considers music from all genres, making the competition significantly tougher. As you can see, only a few of the currently most popular holiday songs have made their way onto the Hot 100. (Thursday 28 November 2024; 00:03) this is a reply to message 107,718

Billboard 100 (107,718) by TJ from Norway So #2 on Billboard Christmas list, but a higher position than Rocking Around on Billboard Hot 100? How is that possible? (Wednesday 27 November 2024; 19:45)

Billboard 100 (107,717) by Edward from USA And somewhere on the Holiday 100, the top 10 looks like this: 1. "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" – Brenda Lee 2. "All I Want for Christmas Is You" – Mariah Carey 3. "Jingle Bell Rock" – Bobby Helms 4. "A Holly Jolly Christmas" – Burl Ives 5. "Last Christmas" – Wham! 6. "Feliz Navidad" – José Feliciano 7. "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" – Andy Williams 8. "Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" – Dean Martin 9. "White Christmas" – Bing Crosby 10. "Santa Tell Me" – Ariana Grande Since the Holiday 100 usually hints at how the Hot 100 is going to play out, Mariah better grab some glue and secure that weave because Brenda, rocking slow but steady from her chair, is going to try and snatch it. (Tuesday 26 November 2024; 19:40) this is a reply to message 107,713

Billboard 100 (107,713) by TJ from Norway Oh dear. I was probably to tired to realize that I was on the wrong Top 100. How is that possible? I need new glasses. I'm sorry. (Tuesday 26 November 2024; 07:27)

Billboard 100 (107,715) by Edward from USA These are the only Christmas songs on the Billboard Hot 100 so far. All re-entry but Last Christmas. 16. All I Want for Christmas Is You 23. Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree 24. Last Christmas 47. It's the Most Wonderful Time in the World 48. A Holly Jolly Christmas (Tuesday 26 November 2024; 13:04) this is a reply to message 107,713

Billboard 100 (107,713) by TJ from Norway Oh dear. I was probably to tired to realize that I was on the wrong Top 100. How is that possible? I need new glasses. I'm sorry. (Tuesday 26 November 2024; 07:27)

New music? (107,653) by Edward from USA I truly believed that with MC turning 30, Mariah would go all out with new music, a fresh video, and a TV special. Sadly, that doesn't seem to be the case. Considering Brenda Lee has already hit number one on the Billboard Holiday charts, it feels like the perfect opportunity for Mariah to bring her A-game this season. (Saturday 16 November 2024; 17:18) this is a reply to message 107,648

New music? (107,648) by Brandon from USA So no new music for Merry Christmas 30th anniversary? Just new covers for the album? I'm disappointed. I was hoping for at least a new song or something. (Friday 15 November 2024; 17:58)

Celebrity endorsements (107,627) by Edward from USA Celebrities should stop being condescending and assuming people are uninformed and stupid. They should stop acting as if they know what's best for us from their million-dollar mansions. Let people vote for whomever they choose, period. They should cast their votes and shut up. (Monday 11 November 2024; 21:05) this is a reply to message 107,626

Celebrity endorsements (107,626) by John from USA I'm so glad Mariah didn't sell her soul for 1 million dollars to endorse a terrible candidate. Imagine, being a mega-milliionaire or billionaire actor, singer, or media mogul, and yet still find it acceptable to deceive the American voters, just for what is small chump change for them. (Monday 11 November 2024; 20:03)

Christmas tour 2024 (107,623) by Edward from USA I wasn't going to comment but since you asked, I expected Mariah to go all out with the production, especially with the Merry Christmas celebrating its 30th anniversary. Unfortunately, it feels like more of the same to me. Mariah isn't glancing at the monitors because she's forgotten any lyrics, she's watching for her lipping cues. She appears dazed, and her platform heels are so high she can barely take a step. For a festive show, the energy is severely lacking. I'm not impressed at all. On a positive note, she seems to have added a woman to her dance crew, finally. (Sunday 10 November 2024; 23:43) this is a reply to message 107,613

Christmas tour 2024 (107,613) by Brandon from USA Any thoughts on Mimi's new Christmas tour? I'm curious to hear what [you] guys honestly think after watching the clips or actually going to the show. (Saturday 9 November 2024; 17:55)

Christmas shows (107,622) by Edward from USA That's funny, put it in the Burn Book. (Sunday 10 November 2024; 23:07) this is a reply to message 107,619

Christmas shows (107,619) by Alexis Carrington-Colby from United States I think she is saving her voice for MC40. (Sunday 10 November 2024; 16:17)

AMAs performance (107,506) by Edward from USA I asked not to be confrontational, I'm really curious because I can't seem to spot it. ¡Claro que quién tiene razón soy yo. . I'll keep watching though. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 02:34) this is a reply to message 107,505

AMAs performance (107,505) by Xavier mariohmix from Spain Don't worry about it. It's just we have different points of view. However, I'm the one who's right. Lol. Just kidding. Seriously, let's leave it there. We know how this always ends. The important thing is Mariah is still here with us, active, making music and keeping our spirits together and alive. Hugs. (Saturday 12 October 2024; 01:55)
