CULTURAL IMPACT

Mariah Carey, one of the best-selling female performers of all time, rose to fame thanks to her stunning five-octave voice. Throughout her career, she has easily transitioned from glossy ballads to hip-hop-inspired dance-pop, earning early comparisons to Whitney Houston and Céline Dion, but she outdid both of them by co-writing almost all of her own material from the start. Mariah Carey's multi-platinum debut album, Mariah Carey (1990), featured four Billboard Hot 100 singles, beginning with "Vision of Love," which earned her Grammy Awards for Best New Artist and Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female.
