Top 10 Mariah Carey Love Songs For Your Wedding
Just because we live in Las Vegas, we tend to give preferences to musicians who have had a residency. In 2015, Mariah Carey started a residency stint at Caesars Palace’s Colosseum.
Mariah Carey is one of the highest-selling artists of the 1990s. She had 4 consecutive number-one hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and a total of 18 number-ones. Mariah can also boast of having the second (Old Town Road) longest-running number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 along with Boyz II Men with the song “One Sweet Day”.
Mariah Carey is known for her high-octave voice but also her raw emotion. Her romantic songs have touched the hearts of many. The greatness of Mariah’s love songs extends past slow-tempo songs like “One Sweet Day”, with other hits like “Fantasy”.
Love songs typically tell a story about the love between a couple. Our song list of Mariah Carey’s Love Songs is not about breaking up but rather about keeping their love going strong.
Mariah Carey’s mainstream musical career started in 1990 with her debut album Mariah Carey and her first released song “Vision Of Love”. The latest album was released in 2014 titled Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse is a compilation album but did have a new hit “Beautiful”.

Have a favorite Mariah Carey song? Please share your song below in the comments.
Tell me you don’t know Mariah’s catalogue without telling me. Most of these songs are breakup songs. With You is about finding a love while in a relationship already (cheating). We Belong Together, Always Be My Baby, My All are songs about longing for a love lost. One Sweet Day is about loss and grief. You are better with songs like Joy Ride, All I Live For, Anytime You Need a Friend, #Beautiful, Candy Bling, Emotions, Forever, Giving Me Life, I Want to Know What Love Is, The Impossible, Sweetheart, Vision of Love, Whenever You Call
Wow Art. Thank you SO MUCH for your feedback. Much appreciated. You are spot on in your analysis. I will be updating my list of songs to get rid of the breakups songs!
Mariah has 19 number 1 hits and her last album was released in 2018 , it’s called Caution. You should actually listen to it. It’s an amazing album
Hi Curvin. Thanks for stopping by and your observation. You are correct, we have not updated this list in quite a while. We will update it within the next week.
