But now the engineer of Chick’s Someone’s Ugly Daughter —the name and album title Mimi recorded as — has something to say. In an interview with Rolling Stone, Carey’s longtime engineer Dana Jon Chappelle opened up about the Daydream-era side project and what exactly went into it. “It was all very spontaneous and impromptu,” Chappelle said. “She didn’t want a lot of effort going into it… A lot of times, she’d write a song out and lyrically she’d be done in 10, 15 minutes. She’d sit there on a pad and knock out lyrics or ideas and then finish them another day.” Chappelle said that the record was an afterthought when recording th...

Give Me What I Deserve: The Definitive Ranking of Mariah Carey’s #1 Singles
The world knew what Mariah Carey was capable of from the very first vocal run, during her national television debut on the Arsenio Hall Show back in 1990. Once the 20-year-old vocalist came out the gate with the words “Treated me kind…” and enough hand-waving to make a traffic director retire on the spot, her sucker-punch of a debut single “Vision of Love” had cemented her place in history. It was a ballad which, very soon, cemented its place atop the Billboard Hot 100, as three more singles from the same debut album followed suit: “I Don’t Wanna Cry,” “Love Takes Time” and “Someday.” Carey’s self-titled debut, released on this day 30 years ago, was only the first domino in a career of history-making vocal prowess that completely changed the course of pop by the mid ’90s.
