Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer. Referred to as the "Songbird Supreme" by Guinness World Records, she is noted for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, and signature use of the whistle register.
She rose to fame in 1990 after signing to Columbia Records and releasing her eponymous debut album, which topped the U.S. Billboard 200 for eleven consecutive weeks. Soon after, Carey became the only artist ever to have their first five singles reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, from "Vision of Love" to "Emotions".
Miguel on the viral revival of Sure Thing, his first-ever UK Top 10 single: "Kids are making dances to a song I made when I was a kid!"
officialcharts.comMiguel, one of the vanguards of tasteful, lo-fi R&B in the early 10s, has just scored his first-ever UK Top 10 single. But there's a catch - it wasn't his breakthrough hit Adorn, or even his sensual link-up with Mariah Carey, #Beautiful.
Instead, Miguel's 2010 single Sure Thing has seen a rapid journey up the Official Singles Chart this year, fueled by the popularity of a sped-up clip of the song currently doing the viral rounds of TikTok.
It's a trip, but one Miguel is embracing. In his mind, the way a new generation of people are discovering his music is similar to how he learned of his own tastes, by his parents playing him their vinyl records.
Now, though, they make a 30 second TikTok video. "This is just a new way of taking what we've learned from people and showing that off," he says. "It's a testament to how music is kept alive by humans." Thank you!
