A lot of people do records, and they get hit records, but we were blessed with a lot of monsters. 'Oh Carolina' was a very monstrous record in 1993; so was 'Boombastic,' 'Angel' and 'It Wasn't Me.'
Pop music I have always loved best.
Pop just didn't have enough substance for me. All this nyah-nyah-nyah, you know, 'Paper Tiger' and 'Hold the Ladder, James' and 'Crimson and Clover.' That wasn't music!
I grew up when the whole Motown thing was huge. The charts in those days were dominated by groups more than solo artists at one point.
I'm not into one-hit wonders.
Songs with simple lyrics really take off in Irish nightclubs.
For me, my favorite Mariah Carey songs were never the singles, ever. My favorite Mariah song of all time is 'Sent From Up Above' from her first album, or 'Vanishing,' songs no one talks about.
I enjoy music that is commercial.
I'm a huge Top 40 lover.
Most people remember me for a couple of tunes.
I like Katy Perry. I like Kesha.
I grew up singing ballads, but what I really wanted to get into was the mainstream music on the radio because I really love the beats and everything.
I've always listened to Top 40 music.
I love mainstream music.
I'm a huge pop music lover. I do love the immediacy, the organic fever that happens when a pop track is so infectious.
