March 27 marks the 50th birthday anniversary of Pop icon Mariah Carey‘s arrival to Earth.
A larger-than-life diva whose enormous talent has only been matched by her equally magnetic personality and incomparable chart stats, Carey’s 30-year catalog of memorable moments are voluminous (to say the least).
With a library of inimitable vocal moments and career milestones to her credit, That Grape Juice – in honor of her 50th – has assembled 50 of our favorite Mimi minutes
Take a look and weigh in below:
A star is born: Mariah’s first single, ‘Vision of Love,’ becomes her first of 19 historic Hot 100 chart-toppers.
Mariah makes her Grammy debut at the 1991 ceremony, where she also collected her first two trophies: Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal.
Mariah became the Queen of Christmas with the introduction of enduring classic, ‘All I Want for Christmas is You.’
Mariah made history when ‘Fantasy’ not only made her the first female artist to debut atop the Hot 100, but also by merged Pop, R&B, and Hip Hop in ways the genres hadn’t known prior.
Mariah made history again when her Boyz II Men duet, ‘One Sweet Day,’ topped charts for a whopping 16 consecutive weeks. The song held the title for ‘longest consecutive reign’ on the Hot 100 for 23 years.
Mariah shed her cookie-cutter image to produce her most celebrated album to date, 1997’s ‘Butterfly,’ kicked off by the delectable, ‘Honey.’
The single’s #1 premiere on the Hot 100 made her the ONLY artist in history to have debuted at least 3 songs atop the tally since its inception in 1958.
Mariah was a member of the inaugural set of VH1 ‘Divas,’ a historic lineup which also included Aretha Franklin, Celine Dion, Gloria Estefan, and Shania Twain.
Mariah teamed with another top diva, Whitney Houston, to record the unforgettable duet, 1998’s ‘When You Believe’ (from Disney’s ‘Prince of Egypt’ soundtrack).
The union put to rest years of rumors the vocal powerhouses were rivals.
Conversely, Carey inadvertently confirmed she was beefing with another chart-topping diva, Jennifer Lopez, in a now iconic interview where she told the reporter, ‘I don’t know her’ (when asked about her relationship with J.Lo).
After a number of slew of missteps on the Billboard 200 and Hot 100 respectively, Mariah staged one of the most celebrated comebacks of music history with 2005’s ‘Emancipation of Mimi’ (which includes the megahit ‘We Belong Together’).
The song became the longest-running #1 single by a female artist of the 2000s, racking up a whopping 14 weeks at the chart’s summit.
Carey’s ‘Mimi’ rocked the 2006 Grammys with a memorable performance and the most Golden grammophones she’d ever picked up in one night.
What a legend. Accolades on accolades! My Queen! ?
Yes! ✅ ?
?????????
50 and already legendary ??
Y’all should put this at the top of the page for today! ❤️
A number 1 song is hard to get, not everyone has that to their credit.
Happy birthday mariah
I bought the emancipation of the mini
It was such an iconic era.
Its such a shame it’s like that and shake it off mossed the number 1 spot.
I stay in love in a bop also
Angel’s cry

Are all under rated bops.
Gtfo was supposed to be a big hit but as usually u tasteless rats let it flop.
lmaoooo flopmila will NEVER know this type of historic slayage lmfaoooooooooooo
Migrate is my jam, should’ve released as a single. I’m that chick is hot as well. E=MC2 is way too underrated which is full of bops
Incase you guys dont realise it yet, mariah is coming this year also. Yes u heard me right
In the next 9 months this woman gonna be number one on the charts again.
Christmas queen.
Every year this woman gonna hit number one.
Billboard should pass a rule cause its gonna get really weird seeing Mariah on the list of artistes who scored a number every year.

Whitney loved Mariah and vice versa.
They did an entire PR promo run for When You Believe (MTV Special, VMA presenters, Oprah, Oscar performance etc
Wow. Didn’t know whales lived that long.
and you MOM is still alive???
Mariah doesn’t know Camicky. I’m sure she knows Normani just like Rih , Bey, Kelly C and other huge acts do.
Normani – Brit Nomination, 3 Hits, VMA Award, Rolling Stone Cover, Billboard Cover, Industry Praise and more. No album out.
The first girl from 5H to achieve all these things before a debut album release.

Thank you for sharing your gifts with us despite 30 years of scrutiny and ridicule in the public eye you held together STRONGER even THROUGH THE RAIN. Youre such an inspiration for anyone who has ever felt alone or insecure.
Your music/voice/lyrics continues to uplift me and millions around the globe everyday.
Happy HAPPY Birthday and many more!??
Rashad, you are a TERRIBLE writer, reporter and should NOT be writing for a blog,..
Prince of Egypt is NOT Disney.
Your writing and spelling is also atrocious!

???Time goes by… So slowly… Time goes by… So slowly…
Every little thing that you say or do, I hung up, I hung up on you.. waiting for your call Baby night and day, I’m fed up… I’m tired of waiting on you…???
A true LAMB and credible source would know it’s ANNIVERSARY
My favorite Mariah Carey songs are: Without You and Against All Odds featuring Westlife. Those singles are timeless.
lmaooooooo happy 50th birthday mariah! certain flops will never see your success, even when they release 1000 album covers, hop on every rap c*ck in the bizness and start a fake relationship just to see their album & tour FLOP off the face of the earth lmfaoooooooooo
@??? Are u buying Camila Cabello’s red Vinyl copy of Romance?
Boyz 2 men wrote.. One Sweet Day…… She didn’t write alone…
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MIMI??
Many blessings, and happy anniversary to the incomparable Mariah Carey. Your gifts are truly a gift from God, your music has been a source of inspiration and I just want to say thank you, and wishing you many more blessed anniversaries.
The QUEEN of music!
FYI, Prince of Egypt isn’t a Disney film. It’s Dreamworks
Anytime You Need A Friend made me a fan. I think it’s her best song.
QUEEN! !

Camilla is better than all the other girls in fifth Harmony combined. Even ofbu combined those four flops, They don’t even half of Camilla’s success and networth. Periodt.
You left out other moments like her unparalleled cultural relevancy #bottlecapchallenge #obsessedtiktok #justiceforglitter
– a fat hater
– she is a has been internationally
– she is maybe a little relevant in US
– so many #1 for nothing
– after many years on the industry she has zero stage presence , it’s not about dance or make a choreo you can see at lizzo
– beside US and maybe uk she is nothing , she is a “star” only in her country.
you are a delusional hater and you know what? it’s sad
Whitney Houston can still sing way better than her even dead she blowing Mariah out the water…… Tour doing better too
… Ask Mariah why. when she saw Whitney for the first time she walked right past her it’s on film B**** how do you just glance at Whitney. First impressions, mean Alot.. You’re not friends
I hope you get paid to write these hateful comments.
anyone writing negative comments and not getting paid for it, is an ass backwards person or persons
Happy Birthday Diva Queen!
