Music Box and Daydream were Mariah peak eras in the 1990s and solidified her as a global superstar. Out of the 2 albums, which is the bigger and better Mariah peak era?

Music Box was bigger. Daydream is better (by miles).

I prefer Music Box but that's because I'm an old lady

Daydream is only second to Butterfly

 

But yeah Music Box was more succesful 

On a global scale I think Music Box was bigger, but in the US Daydream wins.

 

Daydream is by far the better album. Snooze Box is one of Mariah's worst.

Daydream > Music Box I don’t make the rules.

Music Box is ofcourse bigger but Daydream is miles better and her best album

Bigger - Music Box

Better - Daydream

 

I have a special place in my heart for Music Box tho. It has this melancholic flow, and then of course, huge hits.

There is no doubt that Daydream is better and its her best album, incorporating the sound that made her the blockbuster diva she began her career as and merging the budding hip-hip and r&b sound that would define the rest of her discography after Butterfly. 

 

Music Box sold about 28 million in pure versus Daydream selling a bit less at around 20 million, but the latter's overriding success on the US charts plus the sales makes it the winner here too. I mean, she spend literally half a year at #1 when you combine the weeks. Plus daydream and its hits are far more remembered hence why they have new certs (ABMB, Fantasy at 5x platinum, the album at 11x platinum) and bigger streams.

'Music Box' is bigger stats wise iirc, but 'Daydream' is definitely better.

Music Box is not as terrible as her fans say it is, but it is one of her worse albums. Daydream is a masterpiece.

Music Box da better album for me

Daydream for both

Daydream is her best album

Music Box is bigger, but Daydream is WAY better.
