Where to start:Butterfly
With five albums under her belt, 11 record breaking No.
“Emotions” (1991)
Iconic.
“Emotions” was her fifth (!!)
This song is the trademark Mariah Carey ballad.
The lyrics uplifting and emotional have certainly helped the song remain her most-performed single to this day.
MC ended up recording the song by chance, having initially written it for Gloria Estefan.
“Always Be My Baby” (1996)
Just another hit from Mimi.
Urban-dipped pop that has since become Carey’s specialty.
With this hip-hop-infused bubble-gum-pop single, Mimi became the first and only artist in present day to have No.
1 songs in every single year of the decade (1990-99).
Many critics, fans, and the music industry wondered iftheMariah Carey was over.
The massive hit released in ‘95 featuring Boyz II Men is a cut from Carey’sDaydreamalbum.
For over 20 years, the song has held the record forthe longest-leading Hot 100 No.

The must-see music video
“I was like, why you so obsessed with me?
“The opening lines to the music video that saved lives, careers, and snatched wigs.
The holiday masterpiece
Christmas hasn’t been the same since 1994.
The holiday song, from her albumMerry Christmas,has been critically acclaimed and dubbed a modern-day classic.
During aGerman TV interview, Carey was being questioned about which fellow artists she liked and disliked.
First came Beyonce, for whom Mimi had nothing but praise.
Then the reporter asked her about J.
Lo, and meme history was made.
The best part is that, to this day, Carey remains forgetful andstill doesn’t know J.Lo.
1 song in Billboard’s 56-year chart history.
The song basically set the standard for modern-day pop stars.
The crown of a pop diva is heavy, darling, so leave it where it belongs.
