LAMBS ACTIVATE !!!!

Jermaine Dupri just released this message on Global14:

With basically 1 day left before the release of “The Art Of Letting Go” on Mariahs FaceBook page, i
thought it was important to share with my Lifers,things i’ve learned through this exercise,First off, as big as FaceBook is,when it comes to music people still question how much ground will actually get covered,ive gotten messages every day from lambs like this.(Mariah’s fanbase isn’t like Biebers in that it isnt full of teenagers who sit on Itunes. Many of them are old skool and need to be exposed to the song on radio first to want to support her,so while the Facebook premiere will attract a lot of die hard fans, many more fans will only be exposed to Mariah by airplay and that is what will drive up her iTunes position.) via @meltaway

If your a member of Global14 or a Jermaine Dupri follower than you should know how much i believe in direct connect and how long i’ve been talking about this,i learned the strength of this when i signed Dondria,when people follow you,subscribe to your page or like you,their sending you a very important message,its your job to pay attention and understand what that is.

Before i approached FaceBook about this, i was wrecking my brain trying to think of something to do, that would hit all of her lambs at once,its not many things that can do that,but FaceBook can,to all of the lambs sending me messages,i hope you fully understand this,lets just say if Mariah only had 1 million followers (for laughs) on monday at 11 am each one those million people will recieve a notification of exactly whats going on,REMEMBER!!! this is 1 million people that won’t this notification

The 2nd thing i learned is that internet education is still way down,from the Record labels,Publishing companies,Artist and PR,they still don’t address these content controllers the way they should,and artist of the MC level still don’t use FaceBook to their advantage.as i’m writing this, I’m praying we have all the signatures and legal information taken care of cause just yesterday shit was going crazy!!and with out me going into details,as much as this may sound like its been done before, it really has’nt

On monday 11/11 at 11 am around the world, you will be able to buy the song,listen to the song and ask Mariah question on her FaceBook page, i hope to see you there

Mariah Carey hits new high on Social 50 chart

The Halloween holiday helps Mariah Carey hit a new peak on the Social 50, as a photo of the diva's children
sparks her re-entry at No. 24. The Social 50 ranks the most popular artists on YouTube, Vevo, Facebook, Twitter, SoundCloud, Wikipedia, Myspace and Instagram. The chart's methodology blends weekly additions of friends/fans/followers along with artist page views, song plays and reactions as measured by music analytics company Next Big Sound.
 On Halloween Carey snapped a shot of her kids (Monroe and Moroccan) in their costumes (both dressed as Superman) that got 112,000 likes on Instagram. In turn, the number of new followers to Carey's account on the platform increase by 184% over the previous frame.
 On Facebook where it was cross-posted, it received over 350,000 likes (to date) which helped fuel the 243% rise in conversation about Carey on the platform, which gave way to 189,000 new fans (up 170%). Carey peaked at No. 29 in two previous weeks - on the charts dated August 24 and April 20.
 Above Carey at No. 17 is the highest debut of the week, as the late Lou Reed arrives on the tally. His arrival is fueled by conversation and buzz generated by his death on October 27. The majority of the activity around Reed occurred on Facebook, where there were 429,000 conversations about him (a 1,746% weekly increase). In addition, his official Facebook page scored 104,000 new followers (up 79%). Fans rushed to reminisce with his music as well, evidenced by the 832% lift the videos on his VEVO channel received in weekly plays.
 Even further down, A$AP Rocky debuts on the Social 50 for the first time at No. 48 as the New York rapper releases the video for "Angels" from his early 2013 release Long Live A$AP. The release prompted a 123% increase in conversation on Facebook which led to the addition of 243,000 new followers on the platform (a 125% increase over the previous frame). His YouTube channel where the video was posted on October 31 receives 878,000 views during the week, a 176% increase.
 Up near the top of the chart, Eminem makes a predictable rise into the top five, as the chart reflected the week leading up to the release of his new album, "The Marshall Mathers LP 2". He moves 11-4 to reach his second-highest position to date since he hit No. 3 the week of September 21 when "Berzerk" - the first single from "Marshall Mathers LP 2" - was released.
 Meanwhile, Miley Cyrus (2-1) and Katy Perry (1-2) swap places as Justin Bieber rebounds 6-3. Demi Lovato dips 3-5 as One Direction swings (8-6), beginning an upward trend we can expect to carry into next week. The group released the video for their newest single "Story Of My Life", late in the current charting period. That continued exposure could push them up the tally next week.
 Ariana Grande holds steady at No. 7 while Nicki Minaj climbs (9-8). Britney Spears tumbles 4-9 as Justin Timberlake remains at No. 10 to close out the top 10.

Nick Cannon: "Letting Go" is "Amazing, Outstanding"

Nick Cannon is gearing up for the fifth annual TeenNick HALO Awards, which honors teens who make a
difference in their communities. Hosted, created and executive produced by Cannon, the special pairs each honoree with a celebrity - Josh Hutcherson, Queen Latifah, Chris Paul and Shay Mitchell - who shares their commitment to service.
 Cannon, 33, talked to Parade.com about his inspiration for the HALO Awards, passing down his love of service to his two-year-old twins, Monroe and Morocco, and planning for the holiday season with wife Mariah Carey.

Christmas is really big in your family. What do you have planned for the upcoming holiday season?
My wife is Miss Christmas, so it's definitely going to be festive! It's really about just shutting everything down. That's the only time of the year we get to do that and kind of focus solely on family and celebrating the holiday. That's what I look forward to more than anything.

What do you get the woman who has everything?
As long as it's thoughtful, she's happy with it. It's never really about how much it costs or how grand it is, it's more about how thoughtful it is. Like I'll put together a video of the past year and put music to it, and I once had one of her favorite artists paint a picture of her. The more thoughtful the gift is, the better.

What can you share about Mariah's latest single, "The Art of Letting Go", which will be released on November 11?
It's amazing! It's outstanding. Her focus is on the new song right now, and after that, she'll probably reveal something else to the world!

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" Tops Holiday Songs

The holiday music season kicks off with Mariah once again topping the charts! In the chart dated October 26, 2013, "All I Want For Christmas Is You" leads Billboard's Holiday Digital Songs. 

"All I Want for Christmas Is You" has been lauded, with The New Yorker calling it "one of the few worthy modern additions to the holiday canon". The song was commercially successful, reaching the No. 2 position on the singles charts of Australia, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, and the United Kingdom, and the top 10 in several other countries. The song became the nineteenth-best-selling digital single of the 20th century, the highest-charting entry by a female or holiday song on the list. The Daily Telegraph hailed "All I Want for Christmas Is You" as the most popular and most played Christmas song of the decade in the United Kingdom. Rolling Stone ranked it fourth on its Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Songs list, calling it a "holiday standard." With global sales of over 12 million copies, the song remains Carey's biggest international hit, and one of the best-selling singles of all time.

Arsenio Hall to return to late night

"The Arsenio Hall Show" is coming back to TV this fall after almost 20 years since it last signed off. While
Hall says viewers can expect to see a different late-night show than the one he left behind in the 1990s, there's one thing he's pretty sure will follow him wherever he goes: the dog-pound chant. "I've got a feeling when I walk out this time, they'll be doing that," Hall told Today.com.
 The raised fist "Woo! Woo! Woo!" chant may have helped Hall become one of the biggest names in late night during the '90s, but despite his former success, he told reporters Friday he's basically starting over with his show. Hall, who interviewed everyone from Madonna to Snoop Dog to then presidential hopeful Bill Clinton during his nearly five-seasion run, said he left the late-night scene 19 years ago to "seek some balance in my life as a man... and do some soul searching," but is excited to bring a new kind of show to television. "I'm different, so my show must be different," he said.
 He does, however, plan to bring back some of his old show's biggest guests, including Mariah Carey, who made her very first television appearance on Hall's program in September 1990. She performed her single, "Vision of Love", but Hall said that due to her then-manager Tommy Mottola, he got cheated out of interviewing her.
 "I remember saying, 'Tommy I want to ask Mariah this tonight.' And I would get a message back, 'Not only can you not ask her that, but you're not interviewing her tonight'," Hall said. "I never had the interview with Mariah that I always wanted to have. And now it's even better because it's been 20 years and she's still relevant and I'm proud of that. So I look forward to doing the interview I never got to do, the uncontrolled one where I get to sit with her and really kick it."

Butler drama trumps Kick-Ass 2 in US cinemas

 Lee Daniels' The Butler, a star-studded drama inspired by an African-American who served as a White
House butler to eight presidents, was the top draw at North American cinemas this weekend. The film, which stars Forest Whitaker, took an estimated $25m (£16m) in the US and Canada between Friday and Sunday. "We did not expect it to do this well," said a spokesman for its distributor.
 In contrast, comic book sequel Kick-Ass 2 could only manage fourth place with a first weekend haul of $13.5m (£8.6m). That was less than the $19.8m (£12.6m) its predecessor made in its first weekend in the US and Canada in April 2010. Kick-Ass 2's takings were swelled, however, by the $6.3m (£4m) it made in ticket sales outside North America.
 According to The Weinstein Company's Erik Lomis, the involvement of Oprah Winfrey was "a significant factor" in The Butler's success. "Her publicity machine really kicked into high gear," he said of the talk show queen, whose appearance as Whitaker's wife marks her first starring role since 1998's Beloved. "An Oprah Winfrey endorsement virtually guarantees you a hit," agreed Paul Dergarabedian of box office analysts Hollywood.com.
 According to the Hollywood Reporter, the film appealed strongly to black church-goers, a demographic specifically courted in its promotional materials. Starring Whitaker as the fictional manservant Cecil Gaines, Lee Daniels' The Butler co-stars Robin Williams, John Cusack, Mariah Carey and Jane Fonda.
 The film's slightly tortuous nomenclature came about after the Weinstein Company lost a legal battle with Warner Brothers over the right to use the title The Butler.
 Warner Bros comedy We're the Millers held onto second place in this week's chart, making $17.8m (£11.4m) in its second week in US and Canadian cinemas. Last week's top film, Matt Damon's sci-fi thriller Elysium, dropped to third place after making an estimated $13.6m (£8.7m) between Friday and Sunday.
 Jobs, starring Ashton Kutcher as the late Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, was the third new entry in this week's Top 10, claiming seventh place with a first weekend tally of $6.7m (£4.3m). That was almost twice as much made by Paranoia, a corporate espionage thriller starring Gary Oldman and Harrison Ford that made its debut in 13th spot with a $3.5m (£2.2m) haul.

Mariah diverts attention away from her sling

 She's been sporting a rather fetching sling since dislocating her shoulder while shooting a new music video
last month. But Mariah Carey offered a welcome distraction from her arm accessory as she strutted her stuff in a plunging minidress while attending a press conference for her latest movie, The Butler, at New York's exclusive Waldorf Astoria Hotel on Monday afternoon.
 Showing off her toned and tanned pins and ample cleavage in the daring LBD, the 43-year-old singer ensured all eyes were well and truly on her showstopping curves as she arrived at the event. Featuring unusual lace sleeves, the striking dress was a sexy, yet sophisticated, look for the star, who was joining the likes of Oprah Winfrey, Lenny Kravitz and James Marsden at the event.
 The mother-of-two teamed her chic LBD with a pair of mesh-detail stilettos by Christian Louboutin, while wearing her honey blonde locks swept to the side in a cascade of tumbling curls. Posting a "selfie" on her Twitter and Instagram pages before heading out for the day, she said: "On my way to see Lee Daniels at the press conference for The Butler."
 The Hero hitmaker sustained her dislocated shoulder last month during a shoot for a remix of her track Beautiful, directed by her husband Nick Cannon, when she slipped in high heels from a raised platform. Nick told Extra: "It is a severe injury, she still has nerve damage, she can't really move her arm right now. She can't really hold anything yet, that's going to take a while... lots of physical therapy."
 Directed by Lee Daniels, The Butler is produced by Harvey Weinstein and stars chat show host Oprah Winfrey as the female lead. The film is based on a book written by Eugene Allen, an African American butler who worked in the White House during eight presidencies, including that of Eisenhower, Kennedy, Johnson, Reagan and Nixon.
 Academy Award-winner Forrest Whitaker takes on the titular role alongside the likes of Winfrey, Jane Fonda, Alan Rickman, Robin Williams, James Marsden and John Cusack. Other noteworthy cast members include Vanessa Redgrave, Alex Pettyfer and Lenny Kravitz.
