June 29, 200915 yr Getting ready to shoot the video for "Obsessed" tomorrow. Listening to "Rock w/you" by The King of Pop! Loveya 5:15 PM Jun 27th from TwitterBerry
June 29, 200915 yr Mariah shot the "Obsessed" music video at the luxurious Plaza Hotel in New York City over the past two days. The video is being directed by Mariah's friend Brett Ratner who directed no less than six MC videos including last year's #1 hit "Touch My Body". Here are some photos from today's video shoot. http://www.mariahcarey.com/bin/galImg/siteFiles/6006138a56.jpg http://www.mariahcarey.com/bin/galImg/siteFiles/779b7c0442.jpg http://www.mariahcarey.com/bin/galImg/siteFiles/29f57fc786.jpg
June 30, 200915 yr Author Looks like typical Mariah... Those do, but how about these?: http://www.mariahdaily.com/picturegallery/2009/photoshoot/obsessed_videoshoot/mc_as_eminem1.jpg http://www.mariahdaily.com/picturegallery/2009/photoshoot/obsessed_videoshoot/mc_as_eminem2.jpg LOL looks great. Can't wait to see this! They've also got more of those more generic photos on MariahDaily. I'm liking this one: http://www.mariahdaily.com/picturegallery/2009/photoshoot/obsessed_videoshoot/21.jpg
July 1, 200915 yr I can see the video being very Touch My Body-esque in which it takes the song so literal that it takes the p*** out of itself
July 2, 200915 yr I can see the video being very Touch My Body-esque in which it takes the song so literal that it takes the p*** out of itself I think people like that though! The TMB video (if I remember correctly!) was #1 on both UK and US iTunes for AGES because people loved the humour, subsequent videos with Mariah running around in skimpy bikini's etc. however didn't seem to catch the public. So humour is a good move if it's going to get her noticed. ^_^ What do people think about the chances of a US #1? Black Eyed Peas are losing grip now, Michael Jacksons effect is decreasing... Could we be in for the 19th? :D I'm sure I remember reading that the video wasn't due out until the 10th, I would rather she waited until after the video was out to release it to download though, because it's just good sense really! With the premiere of the video it'll cause a lot of attention with it being supposedly about Eminem etc. and people will download the song, which as of the 7th people are going to be doing based on airplay. I have no idea how to read those airplay charts but can anyone decipher how she's doing with that? I don't even think it goes for adds until the 21st of July. :mellow:

July 5, 200915 yr Author I think this will be her 19th number 1... :) I'm not so sure, I think the Black Eyed Peas are going quite strongly. Would have made more sense to wait for the video, at least.
July 5, 200915 yr I'm not so sure, I think the Black Eyed Peas are going quite strongly. Would have made more sense to wait for the video, at least. Yeah but when you think that this week BEP's only sold 200k in downloads (which is going to be even less again next week), in the first week Touch My Body sold almost 300k, and if we see a similar sales figure it could be enough to push her right up there. :o Although Michael Jacksons funeral could be enough to push him back to the top, who knows!? I'll be keen to find out though. :D
July 6, 200915 yr As long as she stays away from Kellys record then she can do whatever the hell she likes on the Billboard :lol: (But number 1 would be much appreciated :D)
July 6, 200915 yr Well Mariah is yet to debut on the Hot100 but is #13 on Bubbling Under (I think) so she could break it. :kink: Keeping in mind that Mariah broke the previous record with her first week sales of Touch My Body, which has been broken a million times since but hey ho. :heehee:
July 6, 200915 yr Hmmm well Kelly's jump was from 97 so its a bit of a toughie to break.... But if her downloads take off this week with a bang she could do it. :kink: By the way I reckon there's been some sort of cock up because Obsessed is on iTunes now! :o

I'll be keen to find out though. :D True, I hope she can get to 300k this week, not sure how it'll do without the video. But she's BIG there, so it'll probably do fine. Michael Jackson wont be #1, however, because old songs are excluded from the Hot 100. Anyway, this is out NOW, presumably to get a head start on next weeks chart? I thought songs were usually added on Tuesday.
