In 1995, Mariah Carey made chart history when she started an eight week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Fantasy', making her the first female act to debut at number 1.
The song's lyrics describe a woman who is in love with a man, and how every time she sees him she starts fantasizing about an impossible relationship with him.
The song was positively reviewed by contemporary music critics, many of whom complimented its clever use of the Genius of Love sample used as the hook as well as Carey's vocal performance. Fantasy experienced strong success around the world, especially in the United States. It became the second song in Billboard history, and the first by a female, to debut atop the Hot 100.
