1997: Mariah Carey drops "Honey"
Mariah Carey released new music on this day with her first single "Honey", from her sixth album Butterfly. The single became a quick success being Carey's twelfth No. 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100. Remember the sexy video with Carey strutting her revealing outfits, exposed cleavage, and sexual content? Freshly separated from her then-husband, music mogul Tommy Mottola, Mariah introduced the world to a new sexy look along with her new tune.
"Mariah is a diva and anything that divas do, it transcends," Stevie J told Billboard. "Since I and Puff were the hottest producers in hip-hop at the time, doing a collaboration with someone like Mariah Carey, it was bound to blow because everyone knows she's a helluva vocalist. If she gets on some hip-hop tracks and writes it the right way, it's gonna be a win-win. So, I had no doubt in my mind she was gonna fly on the hip-hop side. She's like one of the greatest of all time, and I'm just blessed to have work with her."
