Fantasy was the first time my head was properly turned by Mariah - I’d been aware of her until that point but when Fantasy came out and the rollercoaster video was on TOTP I loved it immediately. One of the holy trinity of 90s sample jams with Honey and Heartbreaker.

Oh no, i thought ABMB would be #1. For me, it will always be Kween's GOAT (Sorry Goldmoney sis).

I discovered Mariah by chance at a record store in the Emotions Era. Bought the album thinking I would like her based on the cover and the names of the songs... I was not mistaken, although I would not spin the album that many times.
Later on I bought Music Box in a trip to US and I had no CD player with me so I had to wait a whole month just reading the booklet and imagining the songs until I could actually listen to it. I fell in love. But eventually I stopped listening.
So when Daydream came out I was not even interested. But then I saw Fantasy on MTV and I was hooked. It was different. I was tempted but for some reason I didn't go to grab my copy. Until I did and since that second, with Fantasy and Baby on top, I would never leave Mariah's land. I was a big fan but not yet a lamb, That happened when butterfly appeared. But Daydream, with Fantasy on top, built the bae for my eternal devotion.
Fantasy is a massive album opener.Comment

The Roof is so overrated. It better be WBtComment

More people probably voted for GOAT than for The Roof (specifically, most of the non-lambs) so it’s not exactly a level playing field. So in that regard, GOAT already won.

I love WBT and I did rate it 10. But TheRoof is a masterpiece and perfection, one of my favorite MC tracks of all time!

What’s funny is that both songs might be about the same person - local baseball star Derek Jeter.
The Roof - 100% confirmed
GOAT - speculated but if the male lead in the video is anything to go by (both biracial, both become Kween’s lover after their respective Mottolas
)

Ah, "Always Be My Baby" is the summer mid-tempo ballad that ends all others. Such joy, playfulness, romance expressed in its lyrics, melody, and vocal. Another bona fide classic from the best to ever do it.
And, oh my, what a flawless top two we have ahead of us!

The Roof is about 5-10 spots too high tbh. I wouldnt rank it in the top 2 at all.
WBT may be in the top 5, but not top 2 for me eitherComment

You’re right: GOAT isn’t top 5 or top 2 material at all, it’s top 1.

I guess they didn't look at how many people rated a song. So it's still gonna be a surprise as I think that the people who did rate The Roof, probably rated it very high.Originally posted by Goldmoney View PostMore people probably voted for GOAT than for The Roof (specifically, most of the non-lambs) so it’s not exactly a level playing field.

But I love both songs, so I'm okay with whichever one is the winner.Treated me kind, sweet destiny, carried me through desperation... Prayed through the nights, carried the weight on my own and now I know I've succeeded in finding the place I conceived... I had a Vision of LoveComment

I am so surprised that ABMB is not in the top 2.
I say that having rated it lower than the other songs in the top 5 (a 9) but I for sure thought it would be top 2 and challenge for #1 given the collective love and appreciation for it.
The meltdowns if The Roof is #1
but to me it's sublime.

I think Leo already spoiled it tbh.
So unless he’s just toying around then expect GOAT to settle with its disgusting k chart position 
(watch the result be even narrower than that 
).
