Mariah Carey

[WaitYourTurn]

Damn ok Busta! I wonder if clubs will play it this summer mixed with IKWYW

I was thinking this the other day, this is what needs to happen and people to hear the two of them side by side in a mix to pique interest.

there should have been 5-10 seconds of IKWYW played somewhere in the WIB video too, so people make the correlation

With You was a nice track but there were much better songs on the album to be chosen as singles. And I still can't get over how basic the instrumental is. Literally Inseparable part 2 (and I hate that song). Still, she looked pretty in the video (when she was not lying on the floor). The rooftop scenes are mesmerising. But the song was a let down for me after GTFO.

"Caution" deserved the single treatment. LEAD single after the GTFO hype single. Such a hot song and actually current. Mariah did ALL the work on "With You" in terms of creating movement and depth with her vocals. The track was blah. Totally agree. But damn she looked good. Old Hollywood vibes.

I think a lot of people have.

The nostalgic viewpoint really played well for them. I find it interesting some people appreciate the “continuation” angle while others see it as a ripoff.

Caution definitely should’ve been the ONLY lead single with no “buzz” single even happening. If she came out the gate with that and a good visual the Caution era was gonna work for sure.

They coud come with an official IKWYW/WIB Medley, similar to what Mariah did with Oh Santa! All I Want For Christmas Is You Holiday Mashup.

I'm sure "With You" would get way more love if it wouldn't have been chosen as a single.
Yeah, there were better options for singles and GTFO should've have had another treatment, but the song per sé is amazing.
I love the instrumental, I love the lyrics, I love the vocals. Gorgeous ballad for me.

I think GTFO was perfect to launch the Era.
But it was mishandled since the very beginning.

Caution (song) should've been the follow up.

[Shaka]

Mariah did that

She's coming stronger this year.

[Shaka]

One of my favorite duets EVER.

Best tones for female and male in the music industry IMO, hands down

[SawyerHewitt]

The verses are gorgeous, as well as the climax.

Girl, whoever gets to the end of the song deserves a Grammy, an Oscar or whatever because it draaaags.

Nope.

Abso-*******-lutely!!

Totally agree with you! And the. The distance as the second single & A no no as the third

The best chance 2018s album had was if it went:

Video only: GTFO
1st single: Caution
2nd single: The Distance
3rd single: A NoNo
4th single: With You

gtfo was a nice moment that should have just appeared a few months before anything else as an interesting music video. Just to show a new direction in sound. But the real push should have happened with Caution.


With You, had it not been released at all would have been called the saviour of the album and the WBT pt2. So releasing it at the end would accomplish two things. It would show the lambs that it would never smash like WBT but it would also do somewhat well at urban a/c radio and keep the album sales somewhat steady at the end of the era. She had the songs, she just chose the wrong singles/order (yet again).

Agreed. I’ve listened to WY a million times.

It just seemed that they pointed at something more fresh with GTFO and then With You was anti-climactic for me.

I would have liked to get a GTFO remix. It could have been an awesome dance song. Same for A No No. The remixes just added a verse. But Mariah herself complained about them not letting her re-record it like the old singles. If they had at least added some stronger beats to the remix... (Interestingly, ANN is about to surpass GTFO in spotify streams soon)

Caution could have worked, but it would have needed some extra work to become a big hit, IMO.

Does this position change daily or is it a weekly thing?

It changes daily depending on radio airplay.

But its the end of the week chart that Billboard uses.

[NorthernMonkey]

With You is a great song and probably my most listened to on Caution. I think it was right to be a single but maybe single number 3 or 4. Caution and The Distance should definitely have had single treatment. It’s frustrating in hindsight.

I read on Twitter that today the lambs are all downloading and purchasing WIB at 11:30am USA. Tomorrow there is a streaming party for the song. It is our one big push.

I wonder if the song will jump to different formats!

Endless Love has been certified PLATINUM

[Goldmoney]

“With You” was not lead-single material at all eventhough it’s cute. Now if Kween had released “The Distance” or “Caution” as lead like the good sis TheRealest said, it would have at least outsold MIAM. And how many pop/R&B divas these days do you see outsell they last album?

[mm2912]

It’s funny how Mariah doesn’t learn she’s killing the vibe releasing a ballad to launch the album since bye bye, then she did again with IWTKWLI, then you’re mine, then with you... and she doesn’t see it kills the chance for the album to make people interested
