Right because Miguel is a really big star over here. It did well because it was a good song period.
It only got on radio because of miguel. Which gave the song staying power.
Radio one have not playlisted Mariah for years (as part of their ageism against females regime) but she gets a current younger artist featuring on let's face it, most of the song, and suddenly she gets airplay again.
I'm just stating facts here not hating on Mariah as I love her and that song !
Of course, the same Miguel that no one had ever even heard of.
It was his feature on the track that got her playlisted. Radio would not have touched Mariah otherwise. Hey I'm no hater. It's been years since Mariah was relevant in the UK.
She's somewhat considered an ageing heritage act here. Harsh but true.
On air online would be a bad move for a UK release.
If Miguel is such a radio force how come Adorn didn't do as well or even better than #Beautiful? I'll wait.
Calm down, chill out and stop with the defensive act. We are Mariah fans and want the best. We are also aware her UK career at the moment isn't entirely at it's strongest and hasn't been for years.
An female in her mid 40's will NOT be playlisted by Radio 1. Sad but the truth.

Adorn hit radio after beautiful in the UK.
and nobody is saying he is a radio force
radio one for example, thought he was hip/up and coming/down with the kids etc, which is why they playlisted that song.
whoever thinks radio one would ever of playlisted mariah if that was a solo single is living in dreamland.
once its acknowledged properly, then her fans can kick up a stink and hopefully get through to radio.
much like how britney fans (including myself) are moaning about the appalling female ageism radio one in particular display.

Miguel can get Mariah listed but not his own songs? :rolleyes:
How ridiculous.
The fact is it was playlisted because it was a great song, not because it featured a wildly unknown singer.

Sorry it offends you so much..

I'm perfectly fine. But it seems you cannot accept being called out on your claptrap. If you can't deal with being challenged perhaps you shouldn't be posting on a public forum. Just an idea.

As predicted you cannot answer.
Adorn has been available since last year. But whether it was released before or after is beside the point. If Radio One thought of him what you are suggesting, why didn't they play list Adorn? He even released a remix with Jessica Ware.
i can see things from both sides here. i do think the miguel collaboration benefited airplay somewhat, because his profile is on the rise and radio one does support a lot of up and coming artists. however, the song was great and that probably helped sell the song to radio. whether mariah will be the next victim of radio one snubbing female artists of a certain age will become crystal clear when the next single is sent to radio.;) she needs another song to the standard of "#beautiful" or better to even stand a chance in my honest opinion, but there's always radio two.:)

I'll ask you nicely once again, calm down and stop with the defensive.
I totally stick by my point 100%. Mariah unfortunately has become a heritage act in the UK. It's a shame but she is not considered current.
Radio supported Beautiful as Miguel is up and coming and their was clearly a buzz surroundng him. Radio 1 love that. A Mariah single on it's own will simply not be touched solely because she is in her mid 40's...Like I said before sad but true.
You only need to look at her UK chart career over the last 7 years to confirm this...
There have been TOO many top 40 misses. I doubt she's ever going to be big here in the UK again..I'm really sorry that it gets to you. I too am a fan so it's sad to see.

OK now its just going round in circles!
I agree beautiful is a great song.
Though you clearly are seeing the world through tinted glasses, long may you carry on.

#Beautiful was released the same day worldwide and it did very well in the UK
Only because of Miguel.
On air Online release will not work for Mariah in the UK. She'd be lucky to go top 30.

Agreed!
