Are those Spotify numbers all versions added up together? How is "Thank God I Found You" above "Someday and I Don't Wanna Cry"... I guess because I grew up in that era I figured they would be above"TGIFY".. Those numbers are just for the original versions of each song*. (For example if Fantasy included the ODB remix streams, its total would be above 181 million, not hitting right at 141 million. *If one version of a song appears on multiple albums, Spotify automatically shows the total # of streams for that one version (so for example, the Vision of Love total is the same whether you're looking at her debut album or her #1s compilation). Interestingly, the live version of Someday on the #1s and the studio version on the debut show the same number of streams, so in that instance Spotify combined versions. But most of the time, remixes and live versions are treated as separate recordings and not lumped in with an original version's total.

The really sad part of that list is “DFAU” being so low considering how close it is to the streaming age as compared to nearly all of her other #1s. Is it a surprise though? What’s it’s airplay these days? I personally feel that and TGIFY are her 2 least memorable #1s. You mention it being close to the streaming age, which also shows its relevancy. If it truly was a big song it would have a much better streaming presence. I would prefer it to have better numbers than TMB. But that’s me.

I wasn't saying "DFAU" is one of her bigger #1s, I just meant it being released closer to the age of streaming should have given it an advantage on Spotify. On YouTube it has a lot more views than Dreamlover, Love Takes Time, etc. Presumably at least some of that is because it was released closer to the rise of YouTube. It definitely reflects poorly on "DFAU" that it's so low on her Spotify rankings.

#1. There's the multiple, heavy-hitter #1s: VOL, Emotions, Dreamlover, Fantasy, Honey, Heartbreaker. Then there's her immaculate version of Silent Night. The Loverboy remix is bonkers, I love it, in all its messy glory. Through the Rain is fine if we pretend it's the remix (feat. Joe). It's Like That, Migrate, and Betcha Gon' Know are all great album openers. The idea of Cry following Santa Claus is Comin' to Town Intro is strange and gave me a chuckle. GTFO is good too. Mariah would probably like that the bottom three are what they are, lol.

I think she said she found her lead vocals if I’m not mistaken.

They also made a beautiful write-up honoring her in the video's description. ❤

I may have already told this story, but I was in 6th grade during the Rainbow era, and I had the CD-Single insert covers for "Heartbreaker" and "Thank God I Found You" tucked behind the clear plastic cover of my binder (and the "I Still Believe" cover). The assistant principal MR. FLETCHER saw my binder during lunch and made this huge scene. He absolutely HUMILIATED me and made me get up in front of everyone and go to the trash can to rip them up because apparently it was pornography. I was f**king devastated and still think about it to this day, why couldn't they have just been confiscated to the office and given back after school? Anyways, I will forever associate that with TGIFY and it still makes me angry to this day. Hopefully he's no longer a closeted Republic**t and is living a better less angry life somewhere. edit: I still really like TGIFY, but I don't listen to it that often. I definitely listen to the remix more.

I love the melody and harmonies on TGIFY. Strong chorus and bridge. I just don't like the production on the original version.
