'Daydream' is the fifth studio album by Mariah Carey, released on September 26, 1995, by Columbia Records.
'Daydream' received critical acclaim, with reviewers praising the album's production, its sonic quality, and Carey's musical progression. It became Carey's best reviewed album up to that point and garnered six nominations at the 38th Grammy Awards, including for Album of the Year. It was later included on the List of 200 Definitive Albums in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. 'Daydream' became a global success, topping the charts in nine countries, and reaching the top five in almost every major music market. It was Carey's second album to be certified Diamond by the RIAA. As of 2019, 'Daydream' has sold over 20 million copies worldwide and is one of the best-selling albums of all time.
Six singles were released from the album. Its lead single "Fantasy" became the first single by a female artist to debut at number one on the US Billboard Hot 100 and went on to top the chart for eight weeks, and became the second best-selling single of 1995 in the country. The second single "One Sweet Day" topped the Billboard Hot 100 for sixteen weeks and became the longest-running number-one single in Billboard's history, holding the record for 23 years. The album's next single "Always Be My Baby" reached number one as well. Jointly, the singles from Daydream spent a combined six months at the top of the Hot 100. To promote the album, Carey embarked on the short but successful, Daydream World Tour, visiting Japan and Europe.

SMASH, PART 3
noah (total drama) x gn reader
'' 'cause dyin' on your lips, is how i wanna go ''
You barged into Noah's room, putting down your math notebook and a pencil on his bed. He looks up from his book with an eyebrow raised.
"So...what is it this time? More homework help, pre-algebra?" He begrudgingly puts his book down on his nightstand.
"No! We're playing a game. And you can't say no, because I'll take you out to eat after." You say, opening to a blank page. You hop up on the bed and sit next to him.
"Wow, you drive such a hard bargain." Noah says sarcastically, rolling his eyes. You write 'SMASH' on the top of the paper, and Noah groans.
"Not this game again."
"Come on! It'll be funnier now that we actually know people. Besides, you can just act like you're a different person. Like, you're Lindsay instead of Noah." You smile, writing down Duncan's, Harold's, Heather's and Leshawna's names in a list.
"If I was Lindsay, I think I'd choke on makeup so I don't have to be doing this." He smirks. "Oh wait, doesn't she do that already?"
You laugh, nudging Noah. "Be real, be real. Okay, pick someone."
"Uh, umm...Duncan." He says with some uncertainty, watching as you write his first initial next to Duncan's name.
"So? Who you imagining yourself as right now?" You ask, writing down some locations you two were familiar with.
"Courtney. At least if I'm gonna play this, I'm gonna play it for something to laugh over later." Noah says, tapping his finger on his leg.
"You mean something to fantasize about later?" You tease, nudging him again before he picks an option, 'the bunks'.
"Gross." He rolls his eyes. "You know the only person I fantasize about is you, my love." He teases right back with a smirk, nudging you back.
"D'aww, how romantic." You laugh, and Noah laughs along with you. After a minute or two, you two stop, ending up with you laying your head against Noah's chest. Noah's arm is behind his head, while the other is on your waist. You two stay like that for a couple seconds, calming down.
"So. You wanna make out?" You suggest.
Noah just sighs, smirking while shaking his head. "You stole my line."
It was a long night.
