No agreement about the criteria. No irrefutable proof, even, that such a thing exists. And yet the old-fashioned scramble persists, as favorites and - especially - underdogs compete to create the song that will blare out of car stereos and iPods and sand-flecked boomboxes all season long. Everyone wants to release the song of the summer. It has been two months since Memorial Day, and a couple of clap-along club tracks have earned pride of place on the summer soundtrack. Back in June, when summer seemed to have enough room for all the big plans and lazy days you could dream up, Gwen Stefani's cheerful (and, thanks to its pom-pom-inspired beat, cheer-full) hit "Hollaback Girl" taught listeners across the country how to spell bananas. And now, with the specter of Labor Day growing increasingly and distressingly hard to ignore, the Barbados upstart Rihanna is mounting a campaign of her own, buoyed by an exploding pop-dancehall confection called "Pon de Replay." But to both Rihanna and Ms. Stefani, this much must be said: nice try. The truth is that this year's race to crown the song of the summer was about as suspenseful as the Tour de France. Back on Memorial Day the No. 1 song on Billboard's Hot 100 chart was Mariah Carey's sublime ballad "We Belong Together." And if you check the charts this week, you will see that same song in that same position, which it has occupied almost all summer. According to Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems, which tracks radio airplay, "We Belong Together" had 195,535 radio plays, or spins, from Memorial Day through last week. "Hollaback Girl," which has already started sliding down the charts, was a distant second place, at 115,532 spins. And although Rihanna has been surging (her song quickly leapt to No. 2 on Billboard's Hot 100), her "Pon de Replay" has received only 65,771 spins; she would need an unprecedented groundswell to surpass Ms. Carey before Labor Day, especially since "We Belong Together" is still getting played more than just about anything else on the radio. After last week, when Attorney General Eliot Spitzer of New York got Sony BMG Music Entertainment to pay a fine of $10 million for improper promotional practices, listeners may be especially skeptical of songs that monopolize radio the way Ms. Carey's song has. But as she can attest, money and fame are not enough to prevent a big star from releasing a big flop. Even the cleverest promotional campaign is not enough to persuade the country's radio stations to play a single song a quarter of a million times in three months. And this summer, everyone seems to be singing her song. In years past, the song of the summer has been a hip-hop track built for the clubs, like the gruff but effective 2004 hit "Lean Back" by the Terror Squad (Fat Joe's group), or the exuberant 2003 disco-rap hybrid "Crazy in Love," by Beyoncé and her boyfriend Jay-Z. That's why "We Belong Together" didn't initially seem like a favorite for song of the summer: it's a light, graceful ballad with a few simple piano chords and a slow, mellow backbeat. Unlike "Lean Back," it hasn't spawned a catchphrase; unlike "Crazy in Love," this song doesn't beg listeners to scream along; unlike "Hollaback Girl" and "Pon de Replay," this song doesn't even command listeners to dance. And Ms. Carey never even wails the titular phrase: she sighs it, as if her ex-lover ("When you left I lost a part of me/ It's still so hard to believe") were already a lost cause. It's the most melancholy song to rule the summer in years. Suffice it to say that Ms. Carey's slump is over. After the spectacular implosion that was "Glitter," she returned in 2002 with "Charmbracelet," a pretty good album that didn't quite put her back on top. But her current album, "The Emancipation of Mimi" (Island Def Jam), is her best since the 1990's; she has re-established herself as a neo-disco diva while subtly updating her approach. In the mid-1990's Ms. Carey pioneered a subgenre that some people call the thug-love duet. Nowadays clean-cut pop stars are expected to collaborate with roughneck rappers, but when Ms. Carey teamed up with Ol' Dirty Bastard, of the Wu-Tang Clan, for the 1995 hit "Honey," it was a surprise, and a smash. A decade later, the thug-love era (as epitomized by Ashanti, a thug-love specialist) has come and gone; nowadays rappers often do their own singing, and singers borrow cadences from hip-hop. R. Kelly taught a generation of R&B stars how to spit phrases like rappers, and Usher has perfected this slick, verbose approach. Ms. Carey has been paying attention. On "Mimi" a singer once known for melisma adopts a lighter, more agile style, upping the words-per-note ratio considerably; instead of moving a single syllable up and down the scale, she often uses just a few notes to deliver a nimble burst of words. This style is part of the reason why she has been able to turn a ballad into a summer smash. "We Belong Together" doesn't have a guest rapper (except on the excellent remix, featuring Jadakiss and Styles P.), or a hard-hitting beat, but Ms. Carey's tricky vocal lines give the song more propulsion than you'd expect, with tightly coiled counter-rhythms that tug against the beat. This song seems simpler than it is, and while it doesn't sound like a mishmash, the liner notes credit no fewer than 3 producers and 10 songwriters. The second verse cleverly incorporates two predecessors: Ms. Carey imagines turning on the radio and singing along to Bobby Womack ("If You Think You're Lonely Now") and Babyface ("Two Occasions"). It's true that the song of the summer is an illusion, or at any rate an exaggeration: during the summer, as during the rest of the year, people listen to all sorts of stuff. And when was the last time you actually saw a boombox on the beach, anyway? Still, for many of us, "We Belong Together" has already come to seem inseparable from the season it has dominated. The gone-too-soon lyrics match not only the season's good times, but its broken promises as well; turn it up, and you can remember all the fun you almost had.
Posted By: me Posted On: Aug 8, 2005 Views: 458	MARIAH, THE GREATEST We belong together is/was #1 on the main/national charts in: *America on (12 billboard charts), (Biggest song in radio history and (yahoo muisc history) among many others *Australia *Canada *Hungary *Isreal *Malaysia *Serbia *Montenegro (where-ever the hell that is) *Turkey *Poland *Russia *China And its rapidly climbing many others. Its not luck. Its just pure greatness. Carey is the most successful and best selling, and there is not a damn thing Madonna fans can say to change that. According to the media, "Mariah is now the #1 most successful female artist of all time", or "Mariah Carey's career is truly the stuff of legend. Since she began her career, Mariah has since become the best-selling female performer of all time..." Madonna better watch her back.
Posted By: Madonnaguy Posted On: Aug 7, 2005 Views: 397	Its not over til its over Mariah has had great success in the Us and Japan. But even with the great success of the MIMI album she was only able to rack up a few number 1 single stauts in a handful of countries with WE Belong Together, so its not like she is getting ahead to much overall. This album may sell 8 million worldwide, while Madonnas american flop American LIfe cd only sold 1 million in the Us but sold 5 million worldwide, 3 million is not much difference for a comeback cd like mariahs, and when Madonnas Music single came out it went to number 1 in like 20 countries, Mariah couldnt even make it to #1 in the UK with "WE belong" So Madonnas clout is much greater than Mariah overall and whos to say that this was just a lucky break for Mariah in the US and even in Europe.

Carey is the highest-selling R&B artist in American history, male or female. Charts Based on her overall success on the Billboard Pop, R&B and Album charts throughout the 90s, Mariah Carey was deemed 'The Artist of the Decade' by Billboard Magazine. Mariah Carey has had 16 singles reach #1 on the Billboard Hot 100; more than any active recording artist. She is third overall behind The Beatles (20) and Elvis Presley) (18).

When the single "One Sweet Day" spent 16 weeks at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, it became the longest running consecutive #1 single in history, taking the title held by Whitney Houston's "I Will Always Love You", which managed 14 weeks. With "One Sweet Day" spending sixteen weeks at #1 and "We Belong Together" spending ten weeks (to date), Carey joins Carlos Santana and Boys II Men as the only artists to have two or more double-digit runs at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100.

In the following weeks, the single continued to break its own record as it peaked at 195.8 million, 202.1 million, 212.2 million, and 223 million impressions! It is the first song in history to break the 200 million one-week BDS audience barrier. Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" has recorded the best-ever one day listener figure after it registered with 32.8 million listeners on American radio in a single day. When "Fantasy", "One Sweet Day", and "Honey" debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, Mariah became the artist with the most singles to debut at #1 in history (only 14 songs have ever debuted at pole position). She also became the first female artist (and second artist, behind Michael Jackson) to ever have a #1 debut with "Fantasy" in 1995. Mariah is also the only artist to have two consecutive #1 debuts on the Billboard Hot 100 ("Fantasy" and "One Sweet Day"). Mariah has the record for the best debut on the Billboard Hot 100. The first five singles that she ever released went to #1; ("Vision Of Love", "Love Takes Time", "Someday", "I Don't Wanna Cry", and "Emotions"). She later achieved another five consecutive #1 singles ("Fantasy", "One Sweet Day", "Always Be My Baby", "Honey", and "My All"). She is the only female artist to accomplish this feat. "One Sweet Day" has been deemed the #1 song of all time by Billboard Magazine. Mariah Carey is the only artist to have entered the Billboard Hot 100 at least once every year from 1990 to 2005.

Those other artists are Mary J. Blige, Tori Amos, Céline Dion, Janet Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears, LeAnn Rimes, and Barbra Streisand. Mariah Carey is the Best Female singer of all time and most successful; Madonna better watchout, Mariah will soon take her record.
Posted By: Abacrumbie Posted On: Jul 29, 2005 Views: 451	MC Mariah is so beautiful. Above all she is talented. I think she is very smart not to drag children into her carrier. When she wants a family she will stop. I know there are tons of men out there that will want her fat, depressed, body when she gets older. lol!
Posted By: Belissimo Posted On: Jul 23, 2005 Views: 542	Madonna vs Mariah Guys, time will tell. Let's just see what happens to Mariah in 10-15 years? Depression, no children, alcohol, drugs, and ruined career... And fat body... It's all about will and determination. Madonna said: "You should be a manager of your talent, not an owner of it"...
