The last 5 lists have really altered where some songs were placed. One song dropped from 1st to 3rd, and another song went up for 4th to 2nd.

I haven’t done enough of these to know what is standard and what people like, so help me out; I have some remixes and performances related to this era I was going to highlight. Do you want me to do those before announcing rankings to lead into the reveal, or do you want me to do them interspersed with the rankings?

I dunno why but I feel like my daydream favs and least favs are not like the usual Mariah fans. I'm interested to find out.

I’m planning on doing this one! “Fantasy” is one of my favorite pop songs of all time, so I’m hoping that I will like the album too.

We have so far. Over the next few days as voting winds down, I'm going to post some random songs, performances, and remixes related to the songs on Daydream. I'm going to start with a little known dance remix to "Looking In." I'm pretty sure it was an unauthorized remix Hani did as he was trying to make a name for himself, but it was played in some clubs in the mid-90s. I love how he turns it into a dance song while still maintaining the haunting nature of the original version.

A number of his earliest remixes were bootlegs using the original versions in place of having the actual acapellas in cases where it wasn't available or he simply didn't want to. He first got noticed for a bootleg he did of Sade's "I Never Thought I'd See The Day" (under the alias Musk Men).

Sent my list in. I don't like 90s R&B but I enjoyed this album. My 1 is in my top 25 or so songs of all-time and I love my 2 and 3 a lot as well. Hopefully one of those wins.

We are up to 29 lists! The next 'extra' I'm going to highlight is actually a performance of a song not even on Daydream. "Forever" is on Daydream, of course, and clearly has 50s rock ballad feel to it. So, too, did "Hopelessly Devoted to You" from Grease. I've always seen the songs as sister songs in a way. Mariah has performed "HDTY" song with Olivia Newton John. The version aired on Mariah's TV special isn't the complete performance (it cuts out a verse and a chorus), but a fan did capture the full thing:

Wow, I've never heard the full version before. Damn they both sounded so good throughout that performance!

Wow, I've never heard the full version before. Damn they both sounded so good throughout that performance! I guess they cut it short in the TV special for time constraints? I'm definitely glad to hear the whole thing, though. I just wish we had a better quality version of the full performance. Mariah sounds good on "Forever" and on "HDTY," and I'd love another song from her in this vein. "O Holy Night" actually has a similar feel, at least in its chords.

We are up to 31 lists! Three days left. The next ‘extra’ I’m going to highlight is the a capella version “One Sweet Day.” The album version makes more sense as a single because it has broader appeal and feels bigger, but I prefer the remix (and a cappella) for the warmer production, the new verse/counter melody, and the 90s R&B feel.

Before I start the reveal tomorrow, I will highlight two more 'extras.' "Underneath the Stars" is a fan favorite. To some degree it was a single, though it never received full promotion. There was, however, a remix done with Trackmasters: "Always Be My Baby" is one of Mariah's most enduring hits. Fifth Harmony heavily sampled the song on their track "Like Mariah"

Submissions are now closed. I received 36 lists. Since I am still fairly new to the Games forum, I don't know if that's a lot for these things or not. I will post the #13 track later today. The last place song was last by a fairly large margin.

Daydream is my favorite "pop" album of all-time. Like many of you mentioned in your messages to me, I love pretty much every song, so even if something is ranked low, it doesn't mean I am paying it dust! It's also my favorite album title of Mariah's because every song focuses on some type of daydream (a memory, a fantasy, etc) and the songs match that dreamy feel. This is also a landmark album in how it fuses genres; it's interesting this is considered a "pop" album when you consider it also has elements of 70s R&B, 50s rock, disco, gospel, 90s R&B, hip-hop, and adult contemporary music. Mariah was the leading force behind fusing pop and 'urban' music to the point there was no difference (Lisa Lopes of TLC once said Mariah was responsible for "hip-pop"). Daydream was a giant commercial success, spawning 3 huge #1s on the Hot 100 ("Fantasy," "One Sweet Day," and "Always Be My Baby") and another song that went top 10 at Top 40 and AC ("Forever"). It then had another song that was a top 10 hit outside the U.S. ("Open Arms") and a song that made the R&B Airplay chart ("Underneath the Stars"). The album was a #1 album in the U.S., UK, Australia, Japan, and more and has sold over 20 million copies worldwide. Without further adieu, let's get to the rankings. I'd like to note that 9 different songs received at least one #1 ranking, and there was also only 1 participant who had the 4 main singles in the top 4 of their ranking. To me that all speaks to the quality of the album.

Though there is no technically 'bad' song on this album, I instantly knew what my bottom rank was going to be. Whether it would be replaced with Slipping Away, or just cut altogether, it would have strengthened this further.
