May 11, 201312 yr is this not really boring?! I find it anything but! It's extremely summery and laid-back. I can see this easily slotting onto my summer playlist.
May 11, 201312 yr As for 'Beautiful', I really hope it smashes in the UK. How is it doing in America at the moment on iTunes and the BBH100? Will debut on the latter on Thursday, quite highly with good sales and airplay I imagine. Was hanging about nicely in the #6-#8 region on iTunes. This is easily my favourite thing ever from Mariah, her and Miguel work so well together and it's just a perfect laid-back song, could be a tad longer but maybe it's best at the length it is.
May 11, 201312 yr Video is really boring and uninspiring. They should have put more effort in it, the song deserve it.
May 11, 201312 yr This is going to be my song of the summer :wub: However, it's Miguel that makes it!
May 12, 201312 yr Any news on her new album? I preferred "almost home" to this song but its ok. Doing better than expected in UK. No43 on itunes.
May 13, 201312 yr I'd definitely put her in the top tier of my most hated artists, but she occasionally does good and I feel she has with this. Very different, and fresh.
May 14, 201312 yr The song was definitely let down by the video as it's now become such a mediocre affair. Her videos are always so cringey. Also J-Lo looks much better than Mariah.
May 14, 201312 yr Author 26 on UK itunes. Could it sneak into the top 30 this week? I'm hoping for a top 10 peak.
May 14, 201312 yr I really hope Radio 1 jump on board. I'm surprised it's climbing quite a bit this week despite no major radio playlisting.
May 14, 201312 yr 26 on UK itunes. Could it sneak into the top 30 this week? I'm hoping for a top 10 peak. Top 10 would be great ^_^ It's already outdone my initial predictions for it so I'm happy with it spending a few weeks top 40 tbh
May 15, 201312 yr #33 in the midweek chart today (#22 on iTunes). Also back up to #16 in the US and she's got a performance on the final of American Idol coming soon. US Airplay: MARIAH CAREY - #Beautiful f/ Miguel: 43.847 (+2.644) Looking goood all round :D
May 15, 201312 yr Author YEP this is going very well. Almost suspiciously well for a Mariah Carey single... let's just hope the Idol performance is live (and GOOD). I heard rumours of a medley which would make sense if Miguel isn't there to do Beautiful in full. ...and it's new in at 24 on the Hot 100. Edited May 15, 201312 yr by Jark
May 16, 201312 yr Agreed about the video, it's properly terminal and the song deserves much better. It's really grown on me and I suppose the video at least helps get across the relaxed vibe but I still wish for better. In any case I'm very happy with this single (what was 'Triumphant', exactly?) and very much looking forward to the album. I do hope the "is Mariah featuring on her own song?" thing isn't a theme, though.
May 16, 201312 yr Author This is slaying hard in the UK. #18 on itunes. SURELY Radio 1 have to playlist it.
