THANK YOU! The OP has been updated!

The alternative cover with just the title and the artists' name is not what I'm going to put in my perfect OP. Hell no. I'm going to put the fan made cover one.

[Crank_It_Up]

First radio update (the spins - 16, 57, 26 - took place on Sat) after being digitally serviced on Fri morning:

POP
992 208 CAREY, MARIAH You Don't Know What To Do 16 1 15 0.037

RHYTHMIC
117 110 CAREY, MARIAH You Don't Know What To Do 57 47 10 0.027

URBAN
201 196 CAREY, MARIAH You Don't Know What To Do 26 24 2 0.298

The update is actually good! Keep in mind that the updates will only continue to rise as the adds date is not until July 1st.

As for the edits, we have:

There is one 4:05 edit starting with the end of the intro, a 3:47 No Rap Edit cutting off all Wale's vocal, a 4:20 version fading out at 4:15 of the song, a new 4:08 version with a new edited clean intro with her adlibs and Wale's rap kicks in right after the piano intro, IMO, the last one is the best and we've been asked to play this version.

if this flops its all over

Why so many edits?..does this actually help or hurt the song?

It gives the radio an option to pick the one they prefer the most to play on their station. I don't necessarily think it will hurt.

Hot AC and AC stations will be more likely to play the solo version while the rest (Pop, Urban AC, Urban, and Rhythmic) can decide which one to play.

I actually think I heard that last edit described when it was played on Australian radio and it's good. I think it works because you get a bit of the intro as the track really begins.

I think they may have played the intro in this interview.

Does Mariah even see these things before they come out??..I mean like she must have some authority over something like this,its a mess

Of course she sees. She just like it tacky. But when people come to her negatively she just blames her team, it works.

I like it! I hope it's the one being pushed! But if they're pushing the one without the intro instead, I'll be fine because it's still good.

Well, with the way things has been between Def Jam and Mariah right now (i.e. Def Jam fighting for YDKWTD but Mariah saying NO until giving up just now), so I don't think Mariah actually see everything.

But you could be right though, after all, Mariah likes Photoshop a little too much.

You all get too wrapped up in the cover artwork and charts. She's already slayed the charts for 20 somethin' years already mostly with singles that served perfect face on the cover, can y'all just enjoy the damn song and hope for the best? Whatever happens, happens.

[ALΞX]

Who honestly cares about single artwork since like 1999? You can easily change the artwork on iTunes to anything you want, and nobody really buys commercial physical singles anymore..

[stephen1108]

I don't care if this flops, but I want to see this do good, she deserves it!

If this does good, then hopefully it opens the door for more singles

[Crank_It_Up]

I know single covers aren't supposed to mean anything but the negative reception is REAL with Mariah and her covers. She gets bashed for basically every cover she puts out which is unreal because anyone else can put out a bad one but don't get as bashed as much as Mariah does. That's why I think Mariah needs a good cover at least every once in awhile so she doesn't get bashed for all the Photoshop and being inappropriate with all the cleavage. Just my two cents in.

AND, I don't care if this flops or if the rest of the material doesn't chart. This album is gold. I'm just glad they're putting out a new single instead of not releasing anything like we all thought would happen. But of course, I hope this do good so we could get more singles but if it doesn't, then it isn't end of the world anyways.
