MARIAH CAREY is looking for a hit. Evidently, she wasn’t getting any help from her management company, Roc Nation. Her manager Melissa Ruderman jumped from Roc to Range Media in January. Now Mariah has followed. The UK Sun and Deadline.com suggested that Mariah had a falling out with Jay Z, who owns Roc. Mariah responded by saying she was proud of the number 1 single she had with Jay Z, called “Heartbreaker.”

Only: “Heartbreaker” was a hit in 1999. Mariah has not been able to muster a new hit in over a decade. Her only record that sells is “All I Want for Christmas Is You.” Every November it takes off, and gives Mariah a new lease at number 1 for about a week.

But for people under 30, that’s all they know of Mariah. Can Range Media help her? They’re not really a music outfit. It seems an odd choice. Also, Range is owned by Point 72, the financial firm guided by Steve Cohen, owner of the Mets and survivor of a financial scandal with the SEC. He had to pay them $1.8 billion in fines as SAC Capital, Point 72’s previous name. I’m not sure Mariah understands she may soon be singing the national anthem at Mets games.

One story said Mariah wanted to an “R&B album,” whatever that means. What was she doing before? What Mariah should do is record an album of real songs, not deploying her high octave over yodeling. When she covered “Without You” and “I’ll Be There,” her audience responded. Her song, “Dreamlover,” is the only single in her carton of hits besides “Vision of Love” with a melody and a hook. Cover some cool R&B oldies not so well known, have some new ones crafted like Bruno Mars’ latest hit. That’s the only way Mariah will get on radio or back on the charts.

Clive Davis is planning the concert of all time for Central Park set for August 21st. People are going to start sleeping on the Great Lawn today to get ready. This is bigger than big.

The New York Times broke the story that Bill DeBlasio asked Clive to put together a Welcome Back to New York show for the Park. This was after Clive’s second marathon Zoom Grammy gala last month.

Who else could do this but the all time impresario of music? I’ve been lucky enough to attend decades worth of Clive Davis shows privately. There has never been a public show. This will be Clive’s “Gotterdammerung,” the be all and end all of shows.

Who might appear? Knowing Clive his wish list is Simon & Garfunkel, Alicia Keys, Bruce Springsteen, Diana Ross, Carole King, Jennifer Hudson, and oh yeah, Bob Dylan. Just for starters. Earth Wind & Fire, Carly Simon, Barry Manilow, and Dionne Warwick could be thrown in. I know Clive’s first thought, if only Aretha could be here…

Can he get all these people? What about Elton? Billy Joel? And can Central Park deal with this?

The answer is Yes. You know, when you watch DA Pennebaker’s film “Monterey Pop” shot in 1967 you see a young man wearing a white tennis sweater in the crowd, enthralled as Janis Joplin performs. He’s rocking back and forth, having a great, a square among hippies but a visionary among the stoned. That’s Clive. He signed her, and the rest is history. This will be his Monterey Pop Supreme.

So get ready. Vaccinate! Stake out your spot. Bring the tents and chairs. It’s going to be the longest, greatest night– or should I say day and night ever? A source close to this said to me, “It’s going to be three hours.”

I don’t think so.

Why am I suggesting these artists? Clive “broke” Simon & Garfunkel in the 60s. They love him. They gave the most historic Central Park Concert in 1981. Diana Ross and Carole King have each had their own historic CP shows. Alicia Keys is Clive’s artist. Imagine her singing “Empire State of Mind” with Jay Z? Amazing. Springsteen and Billy Joel need no explanation. Carly, Dionne, and Barry were all hit makers under Clive. Jennifer Hudson, also a Clive artist originally, could represent Aretha as her “Respect” movie opens a week earlier.

And we could be there all night!

UPDATE WEDS JUNE 9TH The single has dropped to number 59. It’s dead. Lots of money is being poured into it with advertising, billboards, etc. But you can’t make people like a song. The fans are not taking to these two songs. Crossing fingers for better singles when the album arrives.

EARLIER Billie Eilish, the teen phenom with 7 Grammy Awards from 2020, and more still this past year, is having a tough time on the charts right now.

On Thursday she dropped her latest single, called “Lost Cause,” following a disappointment with “Your Power.”

Now “Lost Cause” seems like an actual lost cause. The single has sold just 2,600 downloads, pushing it down to number 25 35 on iTunes. With streaming, the number is higher– 53,800– but on Spotify’s Global Viral chart, “Lost Cause” is at number 13. It simply didn’t take off.

Eilish and her brother Finneas have certainly demonstrated their hitmaker abilities. And Eilish is popular as ever. But a change in image from slacker girl to pin up last month in Vogue, going platinum blonde with a Marilyn Monroe hairstyle, may have been too much of a jolt for her loyal followers.

That’s the only explanation for this abrupt sales drop. And Billie will be continuing that image change with her second album, coming July 30th, called “Happier Than Ever.” Her fans may not like her being so happy!
