Today we pay tribute to the irrepressible Mariah Carey. Read our essay on the divas here. Despite a few glaring career missteps, Mariah Carey has established herself as the best-selling female artist of the Sound Scan era with more No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 than any other solo act. In fact, her 18 No. 1 hits rank her second only to the Beatles. Yet several of Carey’s most impressive songs have never been played on the radio. So to celebrate her 45th birthday—or “anniversary,” as she calls it—here is a look at 18 standout cuts from her extensive 25-year catalog. Carey burst onto the music scene in 1990 with her multiplatinum self-titled debut album. It generated four No. 1 singles on the Hot 100, starting with her first single, “ Vision of Love.” However, behind the glossy production and teased hair was a young artist eager to show off her skills as a talented singer and songwriter. Carey did just that on the simple, piano-backed “ Vanishing.” The song is also the only one on her debut that she produced. Carey’s second album, 1991’s Emotions, failed to match the commercial impact of its predecessor, but it showcased her artistic depth. Instead of chasing the trends in music or attempting to rehash the winning formula of her debut set, Carey got in touch with her roots.
