Top 10 Mariah Carey Songs

Mariah Carey songs cover a multitude of decades and music genres, as we saw the five-octave singer transition from pop-y ballads -- featured in her eponymous debut -- to R&B, hip-hop and dance-pop driven tracks in 1997's 'Butterfly.' The best-selling female performer of the '90s may have struggled in the early 2000's with two unsuccessful albums, but redeemed herself again with 2008's 'The Emancipation of Mimi.'

'Honey'

Recorded for Carey's seventh studio album, 1997's 'Butterfly,' this top Mariah Carey song marks the diva's transition from pop to more R&B -- possibly due to the track's beat sampling, borrowing both World's Famous Supreme Team's 'Hey DJ,' and Treacherous Three's 'The Body Rock.' The track earned two Grammy nominations in 1998 for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song.

10 Best Frank Sinatra Songs

While it is difficult to narrow down the best Frank Sinatra songs for a man who had a long and acclaimed career, there are several staples from the American songbook. A founding member of the famed "Rat Pack," Sinatra performed for presidents, toured internationally and socialized with starlets and mobsters. A recipient of eleven Grammy Awards, Sinatra will always be true American musical legend. Below are the best Frank Sinatra songs as chosen by AOL Radio listeners.

'I've Got You Under My Skin'

This Sinatra favorite was penned by Cole Porter in 1936. Sinatra first performed the song on the radio in 1946, but didn't record it until 10 years later as part of the 1956 album 'Songs for Swingin' Lovers.' The swinging big-band style builds to successive crescendos on the back of an arrangement by Nelson Riddle, who said he was inspired by Bolero.

All these elements make up the Top 10 songs of 2007, as chosen by AOL Radio listeners.
