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:
“The disadvantage of men not knowing the past is that they do not know the present. History is a hill or high point of vantage, from which alone men see the town in which they live or the age in which they are living.”
—Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)
“I believe my ardour for invention springs from his loins. I can’t say that the brassiere will ever take as great a place in history as the steamboat, but I did invent it.”
—Caresse Crosby (1892–1970)
“Regarding History as the slaughter-bench at which the happiness of peoples, the wisdom of States, and the virtue of individuals have been victimized—the question involuntarily arises—to what principle, to what final aim these enormous sacrifices have been offered.”
—Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)
