Serendipity 7,821 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Today marks the 25th anniversary of the iconic Mariah Carey album The album that spawned 4#1s and started the career of a legend After the flash, glitz and glamor that governed '80s pop music, the woman who would become the next decade’s biggest act seemed anything but ready to seize the spotlight as 1990 arrived. Mariah Carey, a 20-year-old from Long Island with a well-noted case of stage fright, quietly slipped her debut album out in June of that year. But what Carey may have lacked in performing confidence she more than made up for in marketing power. With the full resources of Columbia Records behind her -- label chairman Tommy Mottola noted that Carey’s debut album was the label’s top priority the month of its release -- the world would never forget the young singer with the five-octave voice. Despite a particularly saturated female pop landscape in 1990 -- recall, this is the era that sawWhitney, Janet and Madonnaat their peaks -- Carey carved a place among them at an astonishing rate. After arriving late to the party, Carey would surpass them all by the decade’s end, collecting more No. 1s than any female artist (a record she still holds.) Yet for all the hits, Mariah Carey does little in the way of introducing the world to the woman behind the seismic scales and piercing high notes. It’s much more focused on the hit-making, but to the album’s credit, it succeeded to a remarkable degree. Despite entering the charts at a modest No. 80, the set eventually spent 11 weeks atop the Billboard 200, launched four (!) No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and set the singer up to win a best new artist Grammy. See talent here-->http://bit.ly/2eqeUxK Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

barcodemonster 3,525 Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 I've tried listening to the other singles from the album other than VOL but I can't remember how they go they're very forgettable. Vision of Love is iconic, legendary, and without it we would have a different pop landscape of today scan my barcode Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
