Mariah
Carey is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and actress.
She made her recording debut in 1990 under the guidance of Columbia
Records executive Tommy Mottola, and released her self-titled debut
studio album, Mariah Carey. The album went multi-platinum and spawned
four consecutive number one singles, on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100
chart. After the success of the album, she won the Grammy Award for Best
New Artist in 1991. Following her marriage to Mottola in 1993, a series of hit records established her position as Columbia's
highest-selling act. Music Box (1993), was certified diamond and became
one of the best-selling albums of all time and Merry Christmas (1994),
eventually became the most successful holiday album. Daydream (1995),
made music history when the lead single "Fantasy" debuted at number one
on the Billboard charts, making her the first female artist to
accomplish a number one debut in the U.S. The second single, "One Sweet
Day" a duet with Boyz II Men, spent a record sixteen weeks on top of the
Billboard Hot 100, and remains the longest running number one song in US
chart history. During the recording of the album Carey began to deviate
from her pop background, and slowly traversed into R&B and Hip-hop.
After her separation from Mottola, this musical change and personal
transformation was clearly evident with the release of Butterfly (1997),
which she personally considered her best album.
