''To even be on the radio at this point in her career is a huge accomplishment, because radio doesn’t cater to veteran artists or legends. Radio caters to in-the-moment stars,'' Reid, who also happens to be her boss, explained during an interview with Billboard on May 17.
Reid also mentioned other veterans who are notably struggling to make a splash with their new work in this time.
“Nobody that put out records 25 years ago is going to have a No. 1. Not Paul [McCartney], Stevie [Wonder], Bruce [Springsteen], Mick [Jagger] or Keith [Richards]. Not Prince, not anyone,” he said.

He added: “So if she can get on the radio, we’ve done damn good. Would we like to have a No. 1? F**k yeah, I’m greedy. But it’s not realistic.''
Carey premiered her new single, 'Infinity' at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards in Vegas on May 17 and received quite an applause from a young crowd.
