History
The Daydream World Tour was Carey's second tour (after the U.S. Music Box Tour in 1993), and her first tour to have dates out of the United States. The tour was held in honor of the success of her new album at the time, Daydream; the album had spawned three of Carey's eighteen number one singles ("Fantasy," "One Sweet Day," and "Always Be My Baby"), became her second album to ship ten million copies in the U.S., and is one of her most critically acclaimed albums. It was also held to promote the album across Europe and Asia. The tour is her second shortest tour to date, with the shortest being the Music Box Tour.
This tour established Carey's concert-going fan base in Japan; all of her subsequent tours would also visit that country except for the Angel Advocates tour, a regularity unusual for an American artist.
The tickets for her 3 Tokyo Dome concerts, totaling at over 150,000 seats, sold out in under 3 hours, making it the fastest selling show in the Tokyo Dome's history.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“What would we not give for some great poem to read now, which would be in harmony with the scenery,—for if men read aright, methinks they would never read anything but poems. No history nor philosophy can supply their place.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Literary works cannot be taken over like factories, or literary forms of expression like industrial methods. Realist writing, of which history offers many widely varying examples, is likewise conditioned by the question of how, when and for what class it is made use of.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
