No Sleeep

Never heard of Acquiesce and after listening to it it’s not even slightly familiar to me, not an Oasis fan at all but why is this suddenly their biggest song?

Gutted Kesha couldn’t make top 40 but those sales are good. It used to be 2k was enough for top 40, now 2k is barely enough for top 100. Not that there’s been an explosion in album sales! It’s things like this that make me really annoyed about how streams are counted towards greatest hits.

The OCC’s poor record keeping strikes again, somebody needs to update her individual artist page. It’s so inconsistent, it’s credited as “Dolly Parton and Michael Buble” but doesn’t show on her page but Tyrant is “Beyoncé & Dolly Parton” and that does

Dolly now has chart entires in the 70s, 80s, 90s, 00s, 10s and 20s!

I think the charts are artificial enough as they are personally. Streaming is a totally different measurement of consumption from buying music. If they want to keep the idea of the charts alive what they ought to do is introduce a cap, so once an individual user has streamed a song/album enough to give it 1 “sale” then that’s it, nothing after that is counted. But they won’t do that because chart “sales” (whatever that even means nowadays) look bad enough as it is

I’ve had such a good year for concerts so far! I’ve already matched my record for most in one year (2018) and will surpass that very shortly as I have a few more coming up (Diana Ross tomorrow!). I’ve always wanted to go to Vegas for concerts and I couldn’t believe Janet and Mariah were in town at the same time, I couldn’t resist. I will never financially recover but it was worth every penny. I saw Janet basically as soon as I got off the plane and I was very sleep deprived, it was my first time in America so that felt like a fever dream I’d already seen them both before but Vegas is a whole different experience. I’d never seen Mary J. Blige, Usher or Kesha before so that’s a few more I can tick off from my list! I’ll also be seeing Diana Ross and Natasha Bedingfield for the first time. February 5th - Janet Jackson - Resorts World, Las Vegas, United States 7th - Mariah Carey - Park MGM, Las Vegas, United States March 1st - Mary J. Blige (with Ne-Yo and Mario) - Intuit Dome, Los Angeles, United States 4th - JoJo - The Wiltern, Los Angeles, United States April 11th - Usher - The O2, London, England May 16th - Kylie Minogue - OVO Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland 28th - JoJo - Albert Hall, Manchester, England 30th - Kesha - Albert Hall, Manchester, England June 6th - Kylie Minogue - OVO Hydro, Glasgow, Scotland

I thought this was about Shakira at first 💔

The position is irrelevant, the fact that she’s still able to chart on the Hot 100 at all (with a non-Christmas song) in 2025 is incredible! Congrats Mimi

Oh well I guess the digital release will be the same date as the physical

I know sales don’t mean anything anymore but it’s doing much better in pure sales than she usually does here. GTFO only peaked at #76 (granted it’s sales were split over 2 weeks), I Don’t at #60, Oh Santa made it to #8 but that had Ariana’s fanbase too and Big Energy #3 but that was a legit hit beyond the fanbase. So to go top 10 on sales from just the fanbase is pretty good!

This could be her first non-Christmas charting song on the Hot 100 since 2017! And first totally solo since 2015. Nothing from Caution managed even the Bubbling Under chart so I’d consider this a triumph.

Oh wow, I just remembered she’s doing the Summertime Ball so that’s why but it’s great and surprising she has some radio support here. Glad she’s taking full advantage of the slot to launch her new era!

No Mariah in the top 200? That can’t be right surely

With how low sales are right now I think it has a good chance of getting top 10! The current bar for #1 seems to be ~10k barring any big new releases, probably a bit too much to ask for but you never know if it’s a quiet week

I hope this can chart decently for her, although I know it is a very niche release.
