When this is all done with they'll have to change the name to "I Want To Know What a Hit Is.".

Stations are NOT going to stop playing O just because they play IWTKWLI too. If anything, Def Jam is trying to Mimi a #1 hit with the new ballad. With all the hype/buzz the song is getting, it may be able to get really high sales on September 29th.
What is her promo looking like? I want 500k FIRST WEEK just like E=MC2.

Send this to AC and test. If it doesn't pick up there it won't in any other format. If not, choose something else.
What are they doing???

This reminds me of a year ago when "I Stay in Love" went for adds and there was 5 pages of nothing but "ARE YOU KIDDING ME" "WTF" " " "WHAT ARE THEY THINKING"

If Beyonce can release one ghetto and one pop at the same time so can Mimi!

I really like this song, but feel that they are sending it two weeks too early. They should have the official add ate as Sept 29th, and shouldn't have leaked this for another two weeks at least. O is climbing up the charts, and is doing really well. They shouldn't have pulled away the steam from that one. I'm convinced if they hold off on sending this, O will go Top 5. They would be better off postponing the album to give O more time, perhaps push the album to mid October, and then release this in late Sept, so that way O can peak at least.
I think the dumbest part is that they're not sending this to Rhythmic and Urban, which are her core formats.

Either push up the adds date, or attract AC first.
I think they are trying to find ways to motivate adult audiences to buy the album towards the Winter buying season. Obsessed has been out for a while and nothing new has leaked. No one will bother making a purchase towards the end of the year if a substantial Mariah ballad has not been heard by most people. Obviously, targeting a Pop or Rhythmic audience with Obsessed is not going to garner album sales for Mariah. It didn't work with E=MC2. Its going to be the AC audiences towards the Christmas season.

Beyonce is still loved by the radio stations, Mariah not so much. Stations can either really love Mariah or hate Mariah.
They weren't onboard right away the moment Obsessed leaked, the song has to take at least three months to get to where it is right now.
Oh well, let the thickheads at IDJ realize this again the second time around, the HARD way. Let them loose more money and we'll see who will be laughing in the end

Has the HQ of this really not leaked yet? WTF is taking so long? Are the stations that are playing it using the radio rip?

Really, if this hits Top 30 I'll buy her CD. It's straight from flopville, it's awful, unnecessary, cheesy and the only place it can make a dent is AC. And to think Mariah used to write some really good ballads...

Well of course it's going to win the Oscar for best picture; with all the hype about its theater release in the polling booth it would be a downright lie to give it to anyone else.

I think that they are releasing IWTKWLI so quickly is so that they have a chance another shot at totally repressing the downloads so she'll make it to the top, IMO. :/
I mean, they should obviously be able to see Obsessed should be able to keep growing.. I'm probably wrong tho.

I also think Mimi should be awarded the purple heart by Obama for her charity work....is that possible?

Yes, it's possible, but I think she should be awarded the Medal Of Honor instead; that would be far more appropriate.

I'm probably wrong tho. I think you've hit the nail on the head. The label sees this as the best shot at a hot 100 number one, if it is released before the album and is repressed, since Obsessed didn't do the job. IDK, I still would have waited. They are completely abandoning Obsessed, when it is doing just fine.
