THE #1 SONG 20 YEARS AGO TODAY WAS.....

.....Dreamlover by Mariah Carey. Remember when Mariah Carey could sing. I don't mean that whisper shit she does now, but S-A-N-G, gurl!!!! Well, back in 1993 she was still SANGING like her weave depended on it. Dreamlover was the lead single off of Mariah's third album, Music Box, and it was a monster hit. It reached the summit of the Hot 100 on September 5th and stayed there for 8 weeks. It was Mariah's seventh #1 single in three years. The video is almost shocking to see now. Why? I'm glad you asked. We see pre-crazy, pre-balloonbreast implant, thin, healthy Mariah looking almost......wait for it......wholesome! What? Yes. Mariah, early in her career, did not look like a whorey Whoopi Goldberg on bath salts. But honestly, kids, she looks quite pretty in this video, even I must admit. Dreamlover is a breezy, happy, upbeat track that screams early 90s and is considered one of Mariah's classic songs. The song was the 8th biggest hit of 1993 and the 20th biggest hit of the 90s, according to Billboard. Pretty impressive, Mimi. So enjoy the video below and try not to feel too old if you clearly remember this song.
