18 #1 singles,
countless other hits under her belt, and a career spanning almost 20 years,
this woman has an impressive career under her belt. Here are my favorite (and
what I personally think of iconic Mariah Carey classics) Top 10 singles!
10.) “Hero”
From the album Music Box
It’s a classic Mariah ballad from back in the day. 90’s
power ballad, inspirational, and man oh man those vocals!
9.) “Touch My Body”
From the album E=MC²

Happy to hear this song and knowing that Mariah can still
have a little fun every once in a while. Unfortunately it was the only standout
song from an ok follow up to Mimi.
8.) “I’ll Be There” (featuring Trey
Lorenz)
From the album MTV Unplugged: Mariah Carey (Live)
Jackson 5 cover plus classic Mariah equals this classic gem.
7.) “Always Be My Baby”
From the album Fantasy
Working with hit producer Jermaine Dupri, she began to
spread out into more R&B songs, and this certainly was the beautiful beginning
with a bittersweet anthem to a lost love.
6.) “Honey”
From the album Butterfly
And then she burst out of her shell entirely with this album
and this song was her declaration of independence! And thus begins the short
dresses and insane high heels.
5.) “One Sweet Day” (featuring Boyz
II Men)
From the album Daydream

A classic hit from the hey day of the 90’s (and of Boyz II
Men’s career).
4.) “My All”
From the album Butterfly
Another classic Mariah ballad, but a lot more sensual than
fans were used to hearing. It’s more and more beautiful each time I hear it.
3.) “We Belong Together”
From the album The Emancipation of Mimi
Then Mariah came back after the Glitter fiasco 2 albums
later with this insane power hit back in 2005. It’s safe to say the best
ballads of her career were not just in the past anymore. She was capable of
going bigger!
2.) “Fantasy”
From the album Daydream
While the remix is fun and great, nothing compares to this
pitch perfect debut single from her hit album Daydream. The roller coaster
ride, the classic jean shorts, and the voice that doesn’t quit, this song is
everything and more.
1.) “All I Want For Christmas Is You”
From the album Merry Christmas
We can all thank Mariah Carey for gracing us with one of the
best, most memorable Christmas songs of all time. It never gets old…
