And Bye Bye was song on Oprah [uhm who sings on Oprah anymore?], GMA [when everyones either sleeping or at work?!?!], and American Idol [that helped sales a lot but it wasn't enough for just that one appearance]. Bye Bye was a bust and I have no idea why she released it so early. IBLULT was a perfect summer single, but with the flop of Bye Bye she had to promote her ass off. And singing at at the GAY Teen Choice Awards was not enough my dear. So many people didn't watch that award show because Miley was hosting it, so their goes a lot of veiwers. But thats besides the point, very few people watch that Award Show compared to others. And that was the first and ONLY time she promoted that song. Then that flopped so she goes and sings I Stay In Love at the AMA's which increased sales a lot but it never picked up on radio so it didnt keep rising in sales. Mariah screwed up this era, and its mostly her labels fault. They were so damn worried about annoying artists who wanted like 57483 singles from flop albums like Rihanna and Chris Brown. They forgot about people Like Mariah who had AMAZING songs that were single worthy, and they assumed just because of who she is she would have a hit. But these days that is not the case.
And their is no "no promotion" excuse .. THEIR WAS NONE.

I must to disagree with you. With the TMB hype, 2nd single like I Stay In Love or Migrate could easily rocket up the chart without much promotion but the bad single choice (Bye Bye) has screwed up this era. The label had promoted her album a lot (TV Appearances, Mini Concert...) but it just doesnt work anymore. Some songs gained much digital, airplay after AMA but I Stay in Love doesnt even get into iTunes Top 120. It's simply that people suddenly lost their interests in this era, not because the leak of promotion.
