Mariah's "GTFO" single fails to chart, sell, or stream
|
Whither Mariah Carey? On Friday she offered an energetic, upbeat, but soulless half hour in Las Vegas for the I Heart Radio show. She stuck to hip hop songs and eschewed ballads. She looked great.
But Mariah is having the same trouble experienced by a lot of "older" artists. She can't sell records, in any format. Her big comeback record, "GTFO", which was lifted from a four year old EDM track called "Goodbye to a World" by Porter Robinson, was released a week ago Friday.
According to BuzzAnglePro, "GTFO" sold zero copies from Friday the 14th through Monday the 17th. This was in streaming or downloads. "GTFO" also does not appear on the iTunes top 200 singles. Nothing. For a brief time mid week it showed up around number 117, then dropped, and dropped off completely. On Spotify's charts, both Top 50 US and Viral Top 50 US, "GTFO" is invisible.
I know I will get hate mail from Mariah fans who think Madonna is paying me to say this, and vice versa. (I love those Tweets and emails - they are so completely crazy.) Facts are facts and not alternative. "GTFO" has been met by the sound of crickets. And this follows a string of flop singles dating back to 2009's "Obsessed", her last chart hit.
Mariah's next album is set for a release in early October.

This guy is nothing but a hater and all his purported facts are wrong. Pay him zero attention.

This actually isn't Mariah's "big comeback single" and they said as much right from the start. It's just a fan track, and I doubt they expected it to do much. It has, however, gotten people to talk about Mariah. Which was the intent.

Why would you even put this up, when we all know "GTFO" was #2 on iTunes for a few days? He's just talking bullsh.t, and putting this up lends credence to him.

That's incredible for a 40-ish female artist to have that type of hit. JLo and Celine don't have that type of iTunes love

It did well when it was released because Mariah has a lot of fans and the song is actually good. But did you notice, as soon as the video was released, the song dropped faster. She has trouble crossing over and she can't rely on her fans alone. It's the same pattern for every single she released this decade. The most obvious example is Beautiful, which rose on the strength of her name and because it actually was a good song. But as soon as that overhyped video was released on Idol, the song dropped. She has an image problem. In fact I would say she has this problem immediately after TEOM, and that's why her decline to E=MC2 was sharp. Love Mimi but she will no longer cross over because she is looking very cheap with bikini and lingerie videos that doesn't help the song. At all.

"Sold zero copies." I bought it the morning it came out. As Donald Trump would say, "fake news". I know you media outlets love hearing that.
