OMG. Dangerous positions and moves?!?!?!? YASSSSS!!!!!!

Still on track to arrive on April 27, Mariah Carey's "Infinity" will formally impact pop and Hot AC radio the following week.

The wait for Mariah Carey’s new single is nearly over.

“Infinity,” which is cut from her forthcoming “#1 to Infinity” greatest hits album, officially arrives on April 27.

Not simply a vanity release, the song is due to receive a push at both hot adult contemporary and pop radio. Epic Records says “Infinity” goes for Hot AC and pop adds during the week of May 4 (thus impacting Hot AC on 5/4 and pop on 5/5), but those associated with the record will obviously hope for some early airplay this coming week.

The April 27 “Infinity” release and May 4 radio impact precedes the 5/6 commencement of her Vegas residency.

EPIC going in full promo force yassss

[Jeiboy]

So its Pop/HAC material?!?!

[STMG23]

That sounds so good. POP/HAC seems like a song that could actually sell - just like #Beautiful did.

I still can't get over how well #B actually did.

Why are people talking about her filming the video last weekend? I thought that was just an additional shoot (for like a green screen image or something) and that she filmed it when she was in the Caribbean with Brett. Did I make that up?

[KyKy]

I'm so hyped omg

I don't know but I believe when the press release arrived and stated that on the 27th single and video would be out, people assumed they had already shot it. And if they really plan to release the video on monday I actually think they must have already filmed at least big parts of it....

But I don't remember any confirmation.

This might just mean a new Dimension of posing though.

That was my first thought

But apparently they are serious about EVERYTHING this time around! FINALLY she gts treated the way she deserves.

Then I open another article and it says:

Thus far, Mariah Carey’s “Me. I Am Mariah…The Elusive Chanteuse” has been eluding record buyers.

This rude source. They better write a nice review of Infinity.

Yeah, I feel like parts of it were already shot too. I'm excited to see it though!

[STMG23]

To be honest I really don'T want a snippet anymore at all. Now it's only the weekend which will fly by. I am looking forward to being flashed on monday.

Do we know when exactly and how the song will premiere?

[feelslikeadream]

Not 11 members People are gonna think it leaked with all this random thread activity.

It'll probably debut on some radio station, no? That's what she's done for the past few singles. But that means I have to wake up extra early

EDIT: Also, I don't like the video coming out the same day. It should be staggered a bit to help have a streaming peak once the song takes off

I don't know much about the Hot 100 and how they work. I do know that the sales tracking-week begins on Mondays and the airplay tracking-week begins on Wednesdays, is that right?

April 27 (Mon) | premiere, available to purchase
May 4 (Mon) | impacting Hot AC
May 5 (Tue) | impacting Pop

So the first week's chart position relies on sales and streaming for the most part and a little bit of airplay. The song goes for adds on radio at the top of the second sales week. As already said, I am not quite an expert when it comes to charts and figures that's why I am asking y'all: Does that strategy make sense?

[STMG23]

The adds date is a formality. If radio programmers want to they will start spinning the song as soon as it's available.

[Sissy]

So they will probably "push" airplay from beginning on like Island did with #B?
