XGirlfriend 950 Posted September 30, 2015 Share Posted September 30, 2015 Daydream is the fifth studio album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey. Carey said she considered Daydream the beginning of her musical and vocal transformation, a change that became more apparent in her later albums. During the album's production, Carey endured many creative differences with her label and husband Tommy Mottola. Daydream was nominated for six Grammy Awards at the 38th annual ceremony, during which Carey performed live. Due to the album's critical and commercial success, critics believed Carey would be one of the night's big winners. However, to her dismay, she was completely shut out, causing the subject to become very public and controversial. Six singles were released from the album. Its lead single "Fantasy" became the first single by a female artist to debut at number 1 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and went on to top the chart for eight weeks and became the second best-selling single of 1995 in the country. The song topped the charts in Australia, Canada and New Zealand and became a top-five hit in Finland, France and the United Kingdom. The second single "One Sweet Day" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for sixteen weeks and became the longest-running number one single in American history, a record it still holds. It also topped the charts in Canada and New Zealand and peaked within the top five in Australia, France, Ireland and the Netherlands. Jointly, the singles from Daydream spent a combined six months at the top of the Hot 100. At the time of its release, Daydream became Carey's best-reviewed album. Critics universally praised her matured lyrics and songwriting, as well as her musical direction. The album became an international success, debuting at number one in nine different countries, and in the top five in almost every major music market. Daydream became Carey's second album to be certified diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of ten million copies in the United States. Aside from its success in the United States, the album made the top five of the best-selling albums in Japan by a non-Asian artist, with 2.1 million copies sold. Daydream remains one of the best-selling albums of all time, with 25 million copies sold worldwide. This album has one of the BEST vocals ever showcased. She was at her peak vocally and lyrically during this era. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
