self-titled debut album went multi-platinum and spawned an extraordinary
four consecutive #1 singles: "Vision of Love," "Love Takes Time,"
"Someday" and "I Don't Wanna Cry," and led to Grammy Awards for Best New
Artist and Best Female Vocalist. Her 1993 album titled Music Box went
ten-times platinum. On September 30, 1995, she made music history. Her
single "Fantasy" from her 1995 Daydream album debuted at #1 on the
Billboard Hot 100, making her the first female artist to accomplish a
number one debut in the U.S. Her other Daydream's single "One Sweet Day"
remained for 16 weeks at the top of the charts. She is the only artist
since The Beatles to have so many #1 singles and albums. With
"Heartbreaker", the first single from her 1999 album Rainbow and also
her 14 #1 single, she became the only artist to top the charts in each
year of the 1990s, and with "Heartbreaker" at its 60th week atop the

the only artist with the most cumulative weeks spent atop Billboard's
Hot 100 Singles chart. Following "Heartbreaker," her second single
"Thank God I Found You" also from her Rainbow album became her 15th #1.
"We Belong Together" from her 2005 album The Emancipation of Mimi
