A large number of superstars emerged in the '90s, but maybe none as successful as Mariah Carey. The R&B singer released her self-titled debut album in 1990, and has been killing the game ever since. Just look at her track record. Mariah dropped seven studio albums in a decade's time, each one garnering a multiplatinum plaque. Add 14 No. 1 singles to the picture, and it gets even clearer why Mariah Carey was named Artist of the Decade by Billboard.
While Mariah Carey has continued her success into the new millenium—a run that will likely continue with her most recent release, Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse—the '90s were a career-defining decade for the songbird supreme that we'll never forget, and neither should you. To jog your memory, here are 25 Photos of Mariah Carey Ruling the '90s.
