As Starr’s friendship with Carey
grew, so did her interest in helping Carey succeed in the industry? In December
1988, Carey accompanied Starr to a record executives’ gala, where she handed
her demo tape to the head of Columbia Records, Tommy Mottle, who listened to it
on his way back home. After the first two songs, he was interested in her;
later, after searching for Carey for two weeks, he immediately signed her and
began mapping out her commercial debut. While she maintained that she wanted to
continue working with Margulies, Mottle enlisted top producers of the time,
including Rice Wake, Narada Michael Walden and Rhett Lawrence. Mottle and the
staff at Columbia had planned to market Carey as their main female pop artist,
competing with Whitney Houston and Madonna (signed to Artiste and Sire Records
respectively). After the completion of her debut album, Mariah Carey, Columbia
spent more than $1 million promoting it. Despite a weak start, the album
eventually reached the top of the Billboard 200, after Carey’s exposure at the
33rd Annual Grammy Awards. Mariah Carey stayed atop the charts for
eleven consecutive weeks, and she won the Best New Artist, and Best Female Pop
Vocal Performance awards for her single “Vision of Love”. IN addition to “Vision
of Love”, the album yielded the Billboard Hot 100 number one singles “Love
Takes Time”, “Somebody”, and “I Don’t Want to Cry”. Carey became the first
artist since The Jackson 5 to have its first four singles reach number one. Mariah
Carey finished as the best-selling album in the United States in 1991, while
totaling sales of over 15 million of copies.
