Debuting in 1990 with a self-titled album, Carey quickly rose to fame as the sole artist to have her first five singles top the charts in the US. She would continue this momentum with the release of Music Box in 1993 and Daydream in 1995, garnering international recognition which would lead to her having eleven consecutive years of US number-one singles.
