May 27, 200817 yr This single is done in the USA now. It's peaked and falling. Tbf a pretty terrible choice of single by IDJ. It just hasn't gone down well with audiences in the USA. IDJ/Mariah need to get over the idea they can release any old track and expect it to be a hit solely because it's Mariah. Have they not heard of audience callout or doing some testing? They'd have avoided this mess if it were the case. A ridiculous choice of single that's destroyed the momentum of an already very shakey era. If the 3rd single isn't 'Migrate' I'd pretty much say this era's dead... Why the hell are you saying that. You can't say anything like that. In last week's USA chart, "Bye Bye" climbed to a new peak, it hasn't fallen. You need to re-check some things.
May 27, 200817 yr When does this get released physically in the UK and USA? It won't get a physical release in the USA, not many singles do. But it will be released physically in the UK on June 16th.
May 27, 200817 yr I've got a bad feeling this will only go Top 20! :( It's been Top 2 for 5 weeks in my chart ^_^
May 27, 200817 yr Author I'm not sure if these have been posted... UK tracklists for 'Bye Bye' 2-track Single 1. Bye Bye (Album Version) 2. Bye Bye (So So Def Remix) feat. Jay Z Maxi Single 1. Bye Bye (Album Version) 2. Touch My Body (Craig C Remix) 3. We Belong Together (Remix) feat. Jadakiss & Styles P 4. Bye Bye (Enhanced Video) 12" Vinyl 1. Bye Bye (Album Version) 2.

May 27, 200817 yr I hope it goes top 10 in UK! It will easily. It's in the Top 50 in today's midweeks. And "Touch My Body" got to #99 on downloads, and climbed to #6 the following week!
May 27, 200817 yr It will easily. It's in the Top 50 in today's midweeks. And "Touch My Body" got to #99 on downloads, and climbed to #6 the following week! That's different though, TMB had about one day's worth of downloads (if that) to get to #99, BB seems really stuck on iTunes at the moment...
May 27, 200817 yr Personally, as much as I love this song....it has been pretty much a dud by Mariah's standards. The airplay has been really c**p to say the least. I thought this would be the 19th No.1...how wrong I was....I doubt it will go top 10 in the US and have reservations in this country (i see it getting like 11-13 when released physically)!
May 27, 200817 yr Author Sorry, but 50m AI on airplay is by no means a dud by anybody's standards. :mellow:
May 27, 200817 yr Sorry but stalling around 50 million (for now) doesn't get you anywhere, unless you have huge sales to back it up! And, I said by Mariah's standards........well she does hold the record 223 million and obviously every song she releases won't get near that, but 50 million is poor........if she managed to get audience impressions up 70 million, I think alot industry folks would die of shock! ;) Hence why she ain't promoting it anymore, cos she knows it aint gonna get to no.1....why make the effort on a song which probably won't reach the top 10, eh??!?
May 28, 200817 yr Bye Bye is fantastic. By far my favourite song on the album and it's a fantastic vocal. It has her going mental at the end which is always fun.
May 28, 200817 yr Author Bye Bye is having a mini revival on US iTunes! Up to #41, from #46 a couple of days back and #50 before that. ^_^ I expect it'll fall on the Hot 100 this week, probably a good 5-10 places, but hopefully it'll climb back the next week...
May 28, 200817 yr it will only drop like 2-3 places this week.. I think it will be #21 this week.. airplay is increasing again 5/27/2008 46.054 8544 +0,4m from yesterday.. spins are also Up almost 100..last week bye bye peaked airplaywise at 47,5m so she hasn't lost THAT much airplay this week and digital sales will practically stay the same this week. (around 25,000)
May 28, 200817 yr Author Digital songs: (38) 46 CAREY*MARIAH BYE BYE 30,438 +1% 30,005 208,805 A slight fall, but sales-wise she actually enjoyed a slight increase! :D

May 28, 200817 yr Quite big increase. Thanks for posting. 400 copies isnt a big increase...or am I not reading the same figures?!?! :rolleyes:
May 28, 200817 yr B-List on Radio 2: http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/r2music/playlist/ Not on Radio 1 though.
May 28, 200817 yr Author I think Bye Bye will probably scrape into the UK Top 10 just with videoplay and Radio 2 airplay, thankfully. ^_^
