This is my second favorite single from her debut after "Love Takes Time," I though LTT was your least favorite single from her debut... That should say "Vision of Love". Oops.

One of her best ballad singles. Her debut is so strong though that it just barely rounds out my top five from that record.

Slays me every. single. time. Flawless! Melting. She's so damn flawless. Does she have any tour DVDs of when she was in her prime? I remember watching some tour of hers with Boys II Men.

^I have three from her prime. The '96 Tokyo Dome concert dvd, which I bought through Amazon. It is to die for! I also have her Make It Happen at Madison Square Concert in '95, which is amazing as well. And I have her Butterfly Tour in Hawaii.
I need to get her Thanksgiving Special concert she did in '93.

Just a note: the Tokyo Dome concert and Butterfly Tour DVDs are only available as bootlegs. Her '93 Thanksgiving concert at Proctor's Theater is available on DVD, and so is her '95 concert at MSG. She released a DVD with footage from the Butterfly tour, but it's not really a tour DVD. It has a selection of performances from various dates as well as other tour footage.

Yeah, they're bootlegs. I got them both through Amazon UK, I believe.

Underrated, indeed. But, never forgotten. What a juggernaut she was in her debut era!

FLAWLESS. All of the ballad singles form her debut album remain perfect. Love the bridge on this.

I'm forever thankful for the Vegas residency because she brought this back. I wish she'd stop hating it and including it in her setlists.

This was among her best ballad tracks. Was often played on the AC stations (such as Lite FM 93.9) as was the case with many of her ballads in the 1990s. B96 and WGCI played this song too when I was younger.

30 years ago today, Mariah Carey became the first solo artist in history to reach No.1 with their first four chart singles as "I Don't Wanna Cry" started a 2-week run at the top of the Hot 100 Singles chart. The only other act who's done it - The Jackson 5 in 1970. 6 months later when "Emotions" reached No.1, Mariah got the record all to herself as the only artist to have their first five chart singles reach No.1 on the Hot 100. "I Don't Wanna Cry" was the 4th single from her self-titled debut album and it also reached No.1 on the Adult Contemporary chart and No.2 on the Hot R & B Singles chart. I love this record. Everything about it.

It's the most 80's power ballad of her debut singles, which I think is why I appreciate it and makes it stand out from the debut singles. Great balance of vocals and emotion.

I enjoy this a lot, but I think it benefitted from being on the Hot 100 pre-Soundscan.
It only peaked at #4 on the BDS Radio Songs chart and #17 on SoundScan Single Sales.

How many songs were ahead of it on both metrics? Sales of course were going to be low since it was a fourth single from a big album.

Soundscan was also a bit unreliable at that point, with a lot of the sales being estimates anyway and not actual sales. That's partly why it wasn't yet used for the Hot 100, and retroactively they stopped officially using the 1991 Soundscan stats.

Interestingly IDWC peaked the same week on sales and airplay on the BDS/SoundScan component charts: 6/22/91.
If anyone has a Billboard subscription, they could see which songs were ahead on both sales and airplay.

Interestingly IDWC peaked the same week on sales and airplay on the BDS/SoundScan component charts: 6/22/91. That's interesting because that's a few weeks after it hit #1. It first hit #1 on the chart dated May 25, 1991. Its second and last week at #1 was June 1, 1991. "Rush Rush," "I Wanna Sex You Up," and "More Than Words" were above it on both component charts on June 22, 1991, but again that isn't when "IDWC" was #1 anyway. The week "IDWC" first hit #1, it was #7 on Hot 100 Sales (I don't see a Soundscan chart in that issue) and #1 on Hot 100 Airplay (but #6 on the Top 40 Radio Monitor; keep in mind BDS was only Top 40 radio where Hot 100 Airplay included stations from some other formats).

My understanding is the Artist Chart History feature on the Billboard website shows the BDS/Soundscan charts for Radio Songs and Single Sales but those don't exist in the magazine scans. November 1990 has the first BDS Radio Songs chart and somewhere in May 1991 is the first Soundscan single sales chart.

Some issues of Billboard in earlier 1991 showed the BDS and Soundscan charts, even though they weren't used for the Hot 100. The BDS one in particular was included a lot, but again it was only for Top 40 radio whereas the Hot 100 Airplay chart included some AC and, I think, rock stations. In addition to BDS being behind the chart, the addition of formats might also explain "IDWC" being higher on Hot 100 Airplay as it did well at AC radio.

jenglisbeHere is the history of BDS monitoring I compiled when gathering all those Billboard Radio Monitor histories last year. 1990: January - BDS begins monitoring Country November - BDS begins monitoring CHR stations (Pop and Rhythmic weren't split until 1992) 1992: April - BDS begins monitoring R&B, Rock, and Alternative Stations (maybe AC? it's unclear) October - CHR stations are split into the newly-minted Mainstream Top 40 and Rhythmic Top 40 charts 1993: July - AC into Hot 100 Airplay September - Mainstream R&B/Hip Hop and Adult R&B split into two charts December - Alternative incorporated into Hot 100 Airplay 1994: October - BDS begins monitoring Latin/Spanish radio stations 1995: October - Adult Top 40 split off from AC 1996: January - AAA split off from Alternative ***At this point Hot 100 Airplay includes Pop, Rhythmic, AC, Hot AC, Alternative, and AAA which explains the dominance of Alt and AC in the chart records from the mid-90s 1998: Nov/Dec - All other genres added to Hot 100 Airplay
