Happy anniversary to the mellifluous Mariah Carey.

The 5x Grammy-winning legend has built an undeniable legacy and established herself as one of the greatest singer-songwriters in history. Dubbed as the ‘Songbird Supreme,’ she revolutionized pop music by blending it with hip-hop. She was later inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame and named “the all-time most successful female songwriter in chart history.” Her chart achievements include holding the record for the most #1 hits, the longest-running #1 song, and the most cumulative weeks at #1 in Billboard Hot 100 history. With a discography of enduring impact throughout her career, she has sold over 200 million records, making her one of the best-selling recording artists of all time. Billboard has ranked her as the greatest female act of all time and she was honored as Person of the Year by MusiCares.

[caution @justice4caution]

she had two flop albums, a flop movie, no #1 in 5 years, former label paid her $28m to leave after paying her $100m to sign. the industry said her time was up so she had to prove them wrong and the rest is history
