1995 Mariah Carey: Vintage Pop Stardom (with Chris Hine)

Mariah Carey's 1995 was bookended by two different songs that would come to hold the record for the longest-reigning No. 1 in Billboard Hot 100 history — and in between, she released one of her biggest albums, scored her greatest uptempo pop hit and changed the game with its remix. On this Vintage Pop Stardom episode of the Greatest Pop Stars podcast, host Andrew Unterberger is joined by Minnesota Star Tribune writer and longtime Lambily member Chris Hine to celebrate Mariah Carey during the week of her historic 20th week at No. 1 for "All I Want for Christmas for You" by remembering her 1995: The post-"Christmas" year of "Fantasy," "One Sweet Day" and 'Daydream.'
