Who is Mariah Carey?
Mariah Carey is an American singer, songwriter, actress and record producer. Known for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style and signature use of the whistle register, Carey is one of the best-selling musicians of all time. Carey was ranked second on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music, and in 2019, Billboard named her the all-time top female artist in the United States, based on both album and song chart performances. She has won five Grammy Awards, nineteen World Music Awards, ten American Music Awards and fifteen Billboard Music Awards. Carey has just one entry on the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums list - The Emancipation of Mimi at #389.
What is The Emancipation of Mimi ?
The Emancipation of Mimi is Mariah Carey’s tenth studio album. Released in 2005, the album is considered a “comeback” or “redemption” album after the critical and commercial disappointment of Glitter. The album reached #1 on the Billboard 200 and two singles hit #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (“We Belong Together” and “Don’t Forget About Us”), with another four singles hitting the charts. The Emancipation of Mimi was ranked #389 on the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums list in 2020, and is Carey’s only entry on the list.

Who is Nina Simone?
Nina Simone (1933-2003) was an American singer, songwriter, musician and civil rights activist. Nicknamed “the High Priestess of Soul,” Simone’s music blended gospel, blues, jazz, folk and classical music to create a style all her own. She was one of the earliest established black musicians to produce direct social commentary in support of civil rights. Considered one of the most gifted vocalists of her generation, Wild is the Wind is Simone’s lone entry on the Rolling Stone 500 Greatest Albums list.
What is Wild is the Wind ?
Wild is the Wind is Nina Simone’s sixth studio album. Released in 1966, it was cut together from several recordings from sessions in 1964 and 1965 and not originally conceived as an album. Despite this, Wild is the Wind was a “special merit pick” from Billboard Magazine upon release, though some tracks faced backlash due to their social commentary. For example, “Four Women” was released as a single and gained wide attention when it was banned by a New York jazz radio station for its lyrics. In addition to its appearance at #212 on Rolling Stone’s Greatest Albums list, Wild is the Wind was also rated the 5th best album of the 1960s by Pitchfork.
