      47 spins is also okay so far. It needs 65 for the top 50.
      Yeah, I know, my ouch was for today

      The song is a grower, hopefully it will click on radio with some time

        Mariah Access is on a radio campaign as now.
        Help if you can!

          I'm happy they are doing a request party, but I have yet to see any meaningful results from social media spamming.

          IMO, picking up the phone and calling request lines may still be the best option outside of the song performing well on the charts.

          But it's good to see fans actively engaged.

            Do people genuinely do this in the US ? It is such a weird concept to me in 2021 when you can listen to anything you want at the touch of a button via streaming or youtube!

              Yeah, I'm happy too to see some lambs trying to do something to help - even when results don't meet expectations.

              I admire their dedication.

              We need more of those fans and less than the ones that complain all the time.

                Yeah, I find it odd as well.
                I think bm08 is from the UK.

                  Yeah, definitely. This is for radio though.

                    Oh yeah i know but I dont get why people need radio when they could just listen to what they want themselves on their device !! Like if I want to hear a song ill just go to YT or spotify, search and play it. I am not going to think oh let me call a radio and ask them to play it ! I guess fans do it to help their faves, seeing as radio has such a big part on Billboard.

                      Yes, this is exactly the point.

                        Yeah, exactly.
                        I mean, it's been YEARS since I've listened to radio.

                        But I guess - as you - that fans do that in order to help their faves.

                        Btw, I don't get why radio is so important in the formula (just as much as streaming), but I live in other country and we have different ways I guess.

                          Radio is still one of the biggest places to consume music.

                            [FULL PERFORMANCE] Through The Rain - Mariah Carey (live at Malaysia)



                            This was one of the best dates (remember the Eb5 in Hero à la Music Box), and it was '04!
                            The consistency!

                            I love this performance.

                              Same situation in the UK?

                              I find it so... vintage? LOL.

                                In the UK it doesn't actually count for the chart though but it does expose people to new music I guess. If you dont make radio 2 or radio 1s primary playlist you are doomed to fail apparently!!

                                  Oh, ok, thanx for the info.
                                  That makes sense.

                                    Someone like Pink, for example, benefits greatly from airplay. Her Walk me Home some was played seemingly once an hour, no matter what station you turned to. And the song debuted at 8 so it definitely has an infleunce, despite not directly counting.

                                      I'm literally obsessed with the start of the 2nd verse

                                      "Spun out of control
                                      In this faithless world I must own"


                                      She sounds SO SO SO pretty <3

                                        Got it!
                                        Didn't know P!nk was doing great with the airplay in the UK.
                                        I love her! She deserves.

                                          Walk me Home was number one on airplay, I don't know about anything since cos I don't really follow her.
