The first 5 #1s was okay for me. E.T. and Firework deserves the #1 spot tbh
Even that tying with MJ record. Yeah its fine.
But with this? Desperately discounting your song for 2 weeks and remixing it to SURPASS a legend's record? like, WTF?! And you guys say ' Blame capitol, its not Katy's fault' you just admitted that she's a puppet. Thats her songs, she should be the one deciding if she wants a remix of not. But yeah, like I said, I dont mind her. She can do her thing, but its annoying as **** already... Sorry. I used to love her when she was just that genuine fun girl that kissed a girl and liked it.

I assume you mean Mariah's singles after the rise of digital music?

Well Katy won't be a legend in 30 years and to get the most #1s from an album record, who really cares.. besides Capitol.

no, she used to that in the 90's with physical singles and Michael Jackson did it too
Quote:
Around the time of Mariah’s Glitter bomb, Roger Friedman – who would later become part of Mariah’s PR team – came out with this article that explained how Mariah scored number one hits in the 1990s: by releasing them for 49 cents while the regular price of a single was $1.99. At some outlets, singles actually sold for $2.99. At this time, Billboard’s charts were heavily measured by sales, which were more important than airplay at the time.
This trend seemed to start with the single “Honey,” released in the Summer of 1997. Even though the song didn’t have high call-out research, it zoomed to number one based on sales. Mariah’s 1997 album, Butterfly, was selling far below the amount expected. It was eventually certified five times platinum based on overshipments: this number is far more than the actual amount the album sold.
Mariah’s chart manipulation continued with the “number one” single, “My All,” released in 1998. Several musical outlets sold the single for 49 cents while the song garnered mediocre call-out research and less than spectacular airplay.
In the Fall of 1999, Mariah released her Rainbow album and “Heartbreaker” single to bad reviews. “Heartbreaker” was stalling in airplay but became a huge example of chart manipulation. The song zoomed to number one as soon as it was discounted to 49 cents and 99 cents at many outlets. The follow-up single, the barely known “Thank God I Found You,” zoomed to number one based on the same manipulation.

Most of the popstars now a days doesn't have complete control over their careers.
But ok, that's your opinion, I respect it.

I don't think she actually was behind this remix though.

Vlad, Adele doesn't need promo 
Anyways, yes she's not a horrible artist and her music is really ear-catching but she sometimes push a little too hard. This is the second time she did this and it's clear she wants to beat MJ's record. I mean she still has a lot to prove but she's a young girl, she just needs time.

I think gaga could care less about #1 singles albums is a different story

I don't think she's behind this #1 obsession.
But if she is, why would we blame her? She's SO close to break that record. And this is her ONLY chance.
She gets more hate than others artist doing the same  Interesting

I understand why other people can be mad at this. But since when is remixing a song "cheap tactics"? I'm pretty anyone else's fave would be scrambling to remix a song if you were so close to breaking a record that was set over 20 years ago. Otherwise I don't think these ****** remixes would be made.
