  Mariah Carey Info and Biography
The album is most noted for being one of Carey’s only three non-holiday/non-soundtrack LPs to miss the peak position of the Billboard 200 (the other albums are Rainbow and Charmbracelet) and also for the fact that from now on Carey would also co-produce all of her albums.
The album was released on November 17, 1998; the album debuted and peaked at number four on the Billboard 200 charts.
The album, as said by Carey herself, should not be considered as a “Mariah Carey” album because it is a soundtrack and, therefore should not be compared to her regular album sales.

  Mariah Carey (album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Mariah Carey is the first album by American singer Mariah Carey, released in the United States on June 12, 1990 (see 1990 in music) by Columbia Records.
Carey and Margulies were eventually persuaded to add the song to the track listing of Mariah Carey, and producer Walter Afanasieff was given the task of producing the song in only a few days to make the deadline of the album's pressing.
Mariah Carey was nominated for the 1991 Grammy Award for "Album of the Year", while "Vision of Love" received nominations in the categories of "Song of the Year", "Record of the Year" and "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance".

 Mariah Carey - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carey co-wrote all of the original compositions on her 1990 debut album Mariah Carey and continued to co-write nearly all of her material for the rest of her career.
Carey's debut album received criticism for being too similar in style to the work of Whitney Houston, and throughout her career, Carey's vocal and musical style, along with her level of success, have been compared to Houston and Celine Dion.
Carey said in one interview that she cannot read sheet music and prefers to collaborate with a pianist when composing her material, but feels that it is easier to experiment with faster and less conventional melodies and chord progressions using this technique.

Mariah Carey's remarkable vocal range helped her gospel-influenced dance tunes reach the top of the pop charts in the early 1990s.
(Carey and Mottola were divorced in 1998.) In 2001 Carey left Columbia to sign with EMI's Virgin Records for a reported $100 million; her first Virgin album, Glitter, the soundtrack to her semi-autobiographical 2001 movie, was widely considered a disappointment.
Carey's exact vocal range is a matter of some debate; some claim it was an astonishing seven octaves at the start of her career, while others suggest four or five octaves is more accurate...

 Number 1's (Mariah Carey album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Carey's first compilation album, it comprises her first thirteen number-one singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and several new tracks.
Carey said she strongly felt that there should be a clear distinction between #1's and a traditional greatest hits album, and because of this she lobbied for Sony/Columbia not to title the album Greatest Hits or refer to it as a greatest hits album.
The album #1's was given a five-times platinum certification in January 2003, and as of 2006 it is Carey's best-selling compilation album in the U.S.; according to Nielsen SoundScan, both Greatest Hits and The Remixes (2003) sold less than a quarter of the amount of copies.

 Mariah Carey - Album Reviews
Mariah Carey's #1's is as much a time capsule of '90s pop and R&B as a record of one woman's chart toppers: the disc chronicles a shift from the sweet, nearly '50s-style "Vision of Love" to more recent hip-hop-lite grooves featuring heavy input from Puffy Combs ("Honey"), Jermaine Dupri ("Sweetheart"), and O.D.B. ("Fantasy").
Carey continues to walk the line between streetwise hip-hop soul and adult-contemporary acceptability, with the former not surprisingly offering most of the disc's high points.
Music Box topped the Billboard album charts, yielding number-one singles like "Dreamlover" and "Hero." The titles, one a hollow Minnie Riperton knock-off and the other a stiff Barbra Streisand imitation, are tip-offs to Carey's reliance on untethered fantasy (she's the fantasizer in the lyrics and the fantasy object in the videos).

Mariah Carey's first album for Virgin Records was supposed to be a triumph, an album that confirmed her status as pop's reigning diva, while serving as the soundtrack to a film that proved her crossover status was every bit as potent as that of her unexpected arch-rival Jennifer Lopez.
Superficially, it's not that all far removed from her last Columbia album, Rainbow, but if that record illustrated the freeing effect of her divorce from Tommy Motolla, this album shows that Mariah needs some guiding force, something to keep her on track.
If she indeed was paranoid about Lopez's career and success, as certain tabloid reports indicated, she shouldn't have made a record that seems to ape On the 6 the way that album slavishly followed prime Mariah.

With Charmbracelet, Carey goes out of her way to fix all those aesthetic glitches, tempering the overblown vocals, simpering lyrics, and uninspired funk covers of her last album and returning to what she does best--showcasing her magnificent five-octave voice and pillaging her lift history for inspiration.
After her breakup with superstar Luis Miguel, MTV meltdown, hospitalization for exhaustion, and the death of her father, Carey had a lot of emotional baggage to sift through.
