  1. I wouldn't be able to afford anything else though. Yeah it would suck seeing Madonna in a stadium but I can't justify a big trip to Vegas, Chicago or New York and I definitely don't want to go to hideous Miami or Atlanta. Not that Houston isn't hideous itself, but it's really accessible for me because most of my family is in Texas.

  2. The chances are 100% the same for everyone, and the chart is completely fair.

    If you want a sales-only chart, it exists.

    If you want an airplay-only chart, it exists.

    The Hot 100 is meant to combine both. It is designed for the record labels, in order to gauge the success of their songs.

    As it stands, on average, digital sales DO have greater weight.

    If a song is only played by one genre of radio, then it is usually because it does not appeal to people listening to other genres of radio and/or because the record label has opted not to promote it there.

    I have no idea why some of you would think it would be MORE fair to exclude huge segments of radio.

    Sales does not tell you the most popular song -- it tells you the most purchased song. Plenty of people like songs that they don't buy the single for, and there are plenty of cases where a small group of people love a song (high sales) while a vast, much larger group of people hate it (low airplay) -- the Hot 100 balances that out.

    Gripes about this system are tiresome and misinformed. Billboard is solely about measurement, and it is designed for the record labels, not for you.

    Oh ma gudness. BAM. With you as the new mod, I might start actually coming in here for more than 5 seconds to see how she's doing! :lol: And I see this is doing considerably better than Hung Up now? Well I guess her last-ditch grasp at chart relevance is working! :lol: Good for her, I don't listen to radio except at work every now and then, so I still haven't heard it, but they made fun of it on the first day it debuted here in Orlando so I'm not holding my breath.

  3. lol as if I have anything to admit to. You and I both know you did a small (but crucial) edit on your post, it was the last thing you said after the crypt keeper line, and in fact I think (if I gave a shit), Svperstar could look at forum logs of some sort to prove it. But I don't care. It's ok, you can tell me to go suck whatever body part of Mariah's. I don't mind. I can dish and take.

  4. I never said I was god. I have very little influence on what goes around here. I see a problem with this Mariah thing and I talked about it and that was that. And I NEVER insulted you. I told you that the Mariahdaily person was right - you sounded jealous. Apparently that's really really insulting to you. Sorry. Then you edited your post (you did because I saw it, so don't call me a liar. You know you edited it, and I know too). You told me to suck on some body part of Mariah's ( :lmao: ) and that's why I called you an asshole. Because you (of course) wanted to make me out to look like a Mariahlover, which is classic of you I guess.

  5. Don't call me an asshole.

    you're the one that said the person from mariahdaily is right not me.

    you attacked me first for writing a 1 minute email.

    You do the same thing I do when saving funny pictures of her to your computer.

    So what If I enjoy bashing her?

    I sent a 1 minute email to mariahdaily and you attacked me for it so obviously I was going to respond to your comment.

    you calling me an asshole is throwing stones when you live in a glass house

    Oh don't play the victim card now. I called you an asshole because I saw your nasty post before you edited it. And yes, the person from Mariahdaily is right. You are jealous.

    And no, I'm not like you. When I long into this forum, I spend most of the time talking about things that I enjoy, looking at the elections thread, laughing, stirring up riveting debates (like this one :rotfl: ), and watching out for the Madonna news. Mariah Carey isn't anywhere near as big of an issue to me as it is to a growing amount of people on here. And since I mod two forums here, both of them MADONNA RELATED, (not the chart forum thank GOD), I am growing increasingly concerned with the amount of posts people are racking up about this stupid, stupid woman. And so are the other mods. So yes, I have a valid reason for bringing it up.

  6. I hate Mariah. I think she's gross and she's like the global warming of the music industry. For that reason, I don't even pay attention to her. I switch the station when she comes on. I laugh at her videos. I save her KFC photos to my hard drive. Madonna makes Mariah look like something out MADtv in my opinion.

    But I'm not jealous of her. Not in the least. And yeah she probably does resort to stupid tactics to get her #1 singles. Laughable of course. It's all she has. Does that make me angry? No, because I'm pretty secure with Madonna's success to be honest with you. Madonna is a vastly more influential and savvy woman than Mariah - with a longer career and a lot more to offer her fans. People here seem to think Madonna is somehow vulnerable because she doesn't sell or chart like Mariah. I happen to think that's bullshit.

    And hey asshole, nice way of distracting everyone from my point by making me out to be a Mariah lover and saying I think Madonna is a crypt keeper. I've been a Madonna fan for half of my life you tool. Just because I think your obession with Mariah is grounds for being FLUSHED out of this forum doesn't mean I love Mariah and secretely hate Madonna. Are you mentally imbalanced? Gross.

  7. This is the first time I've entered this thread, and I'm glad to see Madonna is apparently doing well, but LMFAO at the guy from Mariahdaily's response. You didn't even need to mention Madge's name. He/she is not only right, but also managed to wave off your ridiculous email without making a fool of himself. You do sound desperate and jealous.

    Anyway, I know I'm gonna get the claws thrown at me now, but really, when is this forum gonna get over that bimbo Mariah? I don't get it. Why is everyone so fucking threatened by her? She's a JOKE. She'll never have what Madonna has - balls, brains, creativity, intrigue. Madonna eclipsed the chart game long ago, even if she seems to still want to play it with this new song. She's BEYOND these petty rivalries, and her fans should be too. Jesus christ sometimes its embarassing to see how far obsessions can take people.

  8. come on, like Mariah or not, We Belong Together truly was a big hit for her. It wasn't a Thank God I Found You case where it fluked a week at #1 because of a 49 cent single, it spent an entire summer at #1.

    lol I never denied that it was a big hit for her. But it was played for 6 months straight and has since been pretty forgotten about. Whereas I still hear stuff like My Humps and Photograph which were hits at the same time. It just seems like a fluke. I may dislike Mariah but I'm not hating on her just for hate's sake, I just think that it's weird that her songs, so big at the time, barely get played now.

  9. Nut sure where that person got the info, but USA recurrent airplay for "We Belong Together" is pretty strong- still at 1,300+ spins a week per Mediabase. "Shake It Off" does around 500, and "Don't Forget About Us" around 450. So, not shitty at all.

    They mentioned that in comparison with other hits from that same time frame, her songs are getting really underwhelming airplay, at least on the pop airplay charts. It does make sense because I LITERALLY haven't heard any of those singles since early-mid 2006 at best.

  10. You never know, Cowriah's next album could very well tank. For all the undeserved airplay she got in 2005, I very RARELY hear the songs anymore. It was a total fluke. Someone on another board mentioned her recurrent airplay (which is airplay of older hits I gather) of all the singles from The Constipation Of Mumu is pretty shitty. HA-HA!
