Anyway this is #3 in the US this week, it could potentially go #1 for the first time this year!

OCC will probably inaccurately estimate Mariah's Thursday streaming in a way that conveniently denies her of the last #1 of the year just like last year, I get the feeling. :(

 

So no year is ever going to be perfect for her if they do this!

Let's hope they are kind to her.

but the occ people are not [REDACTED], when they estimate Thu streams, they don't just make the average

I was at a big Data Science meeting in London the other week and talked with some people about it and they do it thru a process called "machine learning"... so first you feed the model with real data, ie whats happened with all songs every week since Spotify exists, so real data for every song for every Thursday...

and then you make a model and use the data you have for a particular song you wanna predict, and the model estimates its Thu streams... but it's based on lots and lots of real data and the model learns from this data and then makes. prediction...

 

there was an example called "would you have survived in the Titanic?"... its there same machine learning, so first you put the data of everyone that was on there titanic, age, sex, class etc and if they survived/died... and then you put your real data, I'm a man, 30, I'm poor so I'd go on 3rd class, and then the model tells you... "you'd have died" :) so the model learns from the data you entered and makes a prediction based on that

I read that they use a method used in cricket. Darwin something, too lazy to look.

 

But in other news, a new music video is dropping soon :cheer: get those streams Mimi!

Mariah and her team really are pulling out all the stops in the US, there's now a limited signed CD with alternative artwork! https://mariahcareyshop.com/products/all-i-...igital-download

It is enjoyable to see they are doing what they can to get this to a much deserved pole position.

The race to number one is very close between her and Juice Wrld. She may just clench it with those new signed copies! So Exciting.

Mariah Carey is on course for her 19th Billboard Number ONE!! :w00t:

Mariah needs to promo her ass now

Omg, if she does it this week...! :wub: That would be two weeks earlier the week they’re targeting with physicals.

Fingers crossed she gets it. It's not happening in the UK because sadly they've already shipped the physicals that were supposed to count for the 20th.

But in other news, a new music video is dropping soon :cheer: get those streams Mimi!

 

And it looks like it was directed by Joseph Kahn!

It's gonna be a moment.@1205188559487021056

 

 

Hope she does it in the US at least.

Received my 7" vinyl yesterday! :wub: Happy to have it so soon, and it's such a cute item... but it is a pity that the sales are essentially wasted on this week when they could have come in handy the week after. I hope we somehow find out how many she sold in the UK, it would be interesting to know!

 

Keeping my fingers crossed that she still manages #1 here. :cry:

I think she has a better chance the week after christmas with how it falls, her streaming numbers will be extra high from next friday to thursday.

Should release some CD singles here too that week. Every little helps.
