Fantasy vs. Honey (109,651) by Lambi from USA
I agree that Fantasy vs. Dreamlover is the more formidable competition. Fantasy would probably win though, simply because it had a greater impact, she essentially mainstreamed pop and hip-hop. Arguably, this is Mariah's greatest contribution to music outside of Christmas since all the pop girlies followed the blueprint shortly after.

A good comparison would also be Dreamlover and Heartbreaker, "dreamlover, come rescue me" parallels "heartbreaker, you got the best of me". They're melodically similar.

I Stay In Love (109,650) by Lambi from USA
I Stay In Love would honestly have been huge with better instrumentation. That repetitive, dizzying, synthesized sound ruined it. The reason why the masses ate up WBT is because of its simplicity. Just vocals, piano and perfectly crafted snares and bass.

That song would be such a bigger hit if only the video was made by Nick. The song is epic. Exactly that, classic Mariah.

I Stay In Love (109,644) by Mimi L. from Empower Your Highlighter
Ok so I was scrolling TikTok and I randomly happened up a snippet of ISIL and I don't know why that song was so hated, it's actually pretty nice and very classic Mariah. I know it was put in the trash can as a WBT dupe but I think it's a decent song with a great beat. Anyways just my two cents, justice for ISIL.

Fantasy vs. Honey (109,640) by Rashidi Rahim Rick from Malaysia
The real competition would be Dreamlover vs Fantasy. Both song top the Hot 100 chart for 8 weeks. Both song are equals in terms of success. Honey real contender is Heartbreaker. Though both songs top the chart too but just for a couple of weeks. Too bad Loverboy cannot sit on the table with them. Maybe if they released Loverboy Firecracker version instead.

Fantasy vs. Honey (109,637) by MusicfanJ from Germany
It's "Fantasy" with no doubt. I remember when it came out, it was played all day on the radio. That's why I became a fan of the one and only Mariah Carey. When I switched to MTV it was the same. "Fantasy" was played every hour at least one time. There was no reason not to hear it. It was following you everywhere. 95 to 96 was the best. The 90ies in general musicwise and all the movies, the peak of human pop culture. "Honey" was also played a lot but not as much as "Fantasy". Funny side note: In 97 I went to Jurassic Park II in cinema, when I got home I heard "Honey" for the first time on the radio. After 3 seconds I knew it was Mariah. I was so surprised with this catchy and fresh sound. Mariah was back again.

Fantasy vs. Honey (109,636) by Webmaster Eric from the Netherlands
According to Wikipedia, Fantasy was a much bigger hit. It is certified 6x Platinum, while Honey is only certified 2x Platinum. Also sales in other countries were much much higher for Fantasy.

Fantasy vs. Honey (109,635) by Bobby A from United States
Which one was a bigger radio and sales hit? I ask the question because I feel Fantasy was because it was the first time a sample made an original song like Genius of Love popular among younger listeners in 1995. Secondly, Nostradomus on X posted today that the second single is a pop/club combination with traces of hip hop and funk. Isn't that what Fantasy was for Daydream?

The third hatin' ass ho looked like Salma Hayek to me when she was on the Mexican telenovela Teresa. But Salma Hayek doesn't seem like a hatin' ass ho, so it's probably a coincidence.

Apple interview | MC China and the origin of Niújiě? | Niú fèn (109,632) by Lighty from China
Personally I believe those negativities don't need a remedy. People forget things fast and once she started lip sync less in the States or in other countries, it'll be acknowledged here, too. As to the niu-merch I think fanmade merch is enough, if there's gonna be anyone making those, lol.

Type: Dangerous | three hating ass heauxs - they don't know the meaning of water nor soap (109,630) by Baby from Dreamville...Where There's No Beginning & There is No End
Well, at least one of just might be JL according to Wendy Williams.

The gist of it is that when JLo came to the radio station for an interview, her people had told Wendy's people that there was no direct eye contact allowed with Jennifer Lopez - which Wendy went right ahead and completely disregarded. (Echoes of Tommy Motorboater.)

The second point was that her people had asked for the bathroom to be cleared meaning nobody goes in and out as long as JLo was at the station. So Wendy had one of her interns guard the bathroom and actually stood on the toilet and would push the door shut (if anyone attempted to enter) until it was JLo's turn to actually use it. And after JLo used said bathroom, they discovered she hadn't washed your hands. I'm guessing probably both the water and soap were untouched meaning not a drop in the sink. Wendy reiterated that it was all true several times as the audience went off in disbelief. It happened probably two decades ago but Wendy first said it on her tv-show in 2011.

Ever since I randomly remembered this Wendy episode, my list of the 3 hating ass hoes referenced in T:D - that don't know the meaning of water nor soap - has dwindled down to:

1. JLo
2. Jenny, From The Block
3. Jennifer Lopez

These things make me happy. Idc.
