YOUR Top 10 Singles Of 1999

It is not backtracking. You just have no idea what you're talking about. You would have to know what you were looking at and how it worked to get it. You trying to understand how it worked from a Wikipedia link obviously isn't clicking.

Did everybody see the exact same program at the exact same time?
Or not?

Yes or no.

You not hearing that doesn't mean that it isn't true. And no, we as fans of the music technically could never call an album a flop because we don't have access to the full picture. Yeah, we can discuss whether or not something flop, but if you are talking about an absolute, universal definition of a flop, then we can't begin to discuss a flop on that level without talking about the budget.

You couldn't have brought this up three weeks ago?

Yes or no.

The Box was an entire station. It was like MTV or BET, the difference is that it played videos 24 hours 7 days a week. The only interruptions were interview segments (which were usually 15-30 minutes) and previews of new videos and showing which videos were available.

It wouldn't have stopped you. I would've still logged into this site and you'd still be screaming flop.

It isn't a Yes or no answer. I am not omnipresent. The plays were based on requests. Viewers determined what was played based on the playlist.

Then your answer is I don't know. That's fair.

No, there wasn't. I would argue that "Lookin At Me" was bigger than "What You Want".

Breh, don't even go there. You and @mobbinfms have been arguing with me on the same subject for nearly two weeks all because BOTH of you admittedly hate Missy and have been trying to prove Missy flopped or was flopping.

To @mobbinfms, we've only went back and forth about Missy and The Box, but you've wanted to argue about everything ranging from Juve to Missy to Ghetto Mafia to DMX to whatever and have been wrong. You wouldn't even admit you were wrong about Ghetto Mafia being signed to a major.

lol @ "don't even go there".

I dont hate anybody.
the reason we were arguing is because you LOVE missy.

I was the one who thought ghetto mafia was signed to a major. not mobbin.

"Love Is Blind" is far from an anthem. "Hot Boyz" was a bigger deal than that song.

you buggin. its still the signature domestic violence song to this day.

hot boyz was just a fun radio single.

The layouts, voice overs etc., are irrelevant. Viewers of The Box had access to the same videos. The key difference is viewers in different locations would have had access to videos from more local artists from their respective area. Juve was not local.

Don't even do this with the national exposure BS either. You change that argument with the narrative. Ghetto Mafia was STILL a local group.

I wasn't arguing about access. im arguing about what was getting actual play.

I already said its possible that "back that thang up" was available for requests long before it took off.
im saying that before the summertime, it wasn't getting requested like that up here - if at all.

im not changing any arguments. this stuff just NEVER clicks for you.
I never claimed that ghetto mafia was nationally popular. I simply said that they were nationally exposed. and the point was, juvenile was in the same boat as them, until "back that thang up"
im not changing any arguments. you just have comprehension issues.

Mase did in fact get more promo and in 1997, it was harder to gauge because Biggie died as his single from LAD was peaking. Going into 1997, Mase was already on "Only You" and Puff's "Can't Nobody Hold Me Down". Biggie was on both versions of "Only You". Puff was Mase like Mase was already a superstar and Mase ain't even have an album. He had Mase on songs with Mariah Carey. Mase had #1's before his solo single dropped. When you saw Puff, you saw Mase. Mase was newly signed. Wayne had been on CMR for years and wasn't promoted until after Juve's "Back That Thang Up" dropped and even then he wasn't promoted like the others. Juvenile, B.G., and Big Tymers all had more promo than Wayne.

im not wasting anymore time on the mase thing.

everybody already told you what it was.

 

[Wacky D]

It definitely was a groundbreaking song. But I remember what you want being much bigger.

I think "what you want" was more of a jam, as opposed to "love is blind" being a more serious record.

I recall "love is blind" getting way more airplay. but again, Eve was a lot bigger by this point too.

@JustCKing ignores things as well. I’ve asked him multiple times for some kind of explanation about why he claimed my approach wasn’t comprehensive and his claim that there were additional factors to his evaluation, only for him to eventually say it was just album sales after album cycle.

yea, he'll let it drag on thru multiple threads too, until he finally pulls a response out of his ass.
