A large number of superstars emerged in the '90s, but maybe none as successful as Mariah Carey. The R&B singer released her self-titled debut album in 1990, and has been killing the game ever since. Just look at her track record. Mariah dropped seven studio albums in a decade's time, each one garnering a multiplatinum plaque. Add 14 No. 1 singles to the picture, and it gets even clearer why Mariah Carey was named Artist of the Decade by Billboard.
