Mariah Carey became popular for her hit songs “Emotions” and “Visions of Love”. We love her amazing vocals and trademark singing technique! In the ’90s, she became a best-selling artist and signed a jaw-dropping $100 million contract with Columbia in 2000. Over the years, Carey sold over 200 million records all over the world. She might have had a humble background, but her breakthrough happened when Tommy Mottola, head of Columbia, received her demo. Critics and fans praised her debut album and this was the beginning of her awe-inspiring career. Many R&B singers continue to credit her as a huge influence and it is easy to see why.
