'Daydream’ is the fifth studio album by Mariah Carey, released on September 26, 1995, by Columbia Records.
'Daydream’ received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising the album’s production, its sonic quality, and Carey’s musical progression. It became Carey’s best reviewed album up to that point and garnered six nominations at the 38th Grammy Awards, including for Album of the Year. It was later included on the List of 200 Definitive Albums in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 'Daydream’ became a global success, topping the charts in nine countries, and reaching the top five in almost every major music market. It was Carey’s second album to be certified Diamond by the RIAA. As of 2019, 'Daydream’ has sold over 20 million copies worldwide and is one of the best-selling albums of all time.
Six singles were released from the album. Its lead single “Fantasy” became the first single by a female artist to debut at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and went on to top the chart for eight weeks, and became the second best-selling single of 1995 in the country. The second single “One Sweet Day” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for sixteen weeks and became the longest-running number-one single in Billboard’s history, holding the record for 23 years. The album’s next single “Always Be My Baby” reached number one as well. Jointly, the singles from Daydream spent a combined six months at the top of the Hot 100. To promote the album, Carey embarked on the short but successful, Daydream World Tour, visiting Japan and Europe.
