By an Amazon.com customer
Music BoxMusic Box by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01
Mariah's bets album! After two albums overflowing of soul, her third album consisted of 7 ballads masterfully created for a candle-lit evening. #1's include "Dreamlover" and "Hero". Also included are the hits "Anytime You Need A Friend", "Without You", and "Never Forget You". Look for the Canadian Edition with the bonus track "Do You Think Of Me".
DaydreamDaydream by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $0.01
Probably the best vocal confidence you'll ever hear. Every song is a memorable classic. #1's include "Always Be My Baby", "One Sweet Day" and "Fantasy". Also included are 50's ballads "Forever" and "Underneath The Stars".
ButterflyButterfly by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $7.97 / Used from: $0.01
Mariah's first R&B influenced album. #1's include "Honey" and "My All". Other singles include "Butterfly", "Breakdown", "The Roof" and "Whenever You Call".
The Emancipation of Mimi - Platinum EditionThe Emancipation of Mimi - Platinum Edition by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.29
Mariah's comeback! After a series of hit-and-miss pop albums, she re-introduces herself to her R&B roots. Included are the #1's "We Belong Together" and "Don't Forget About Us", as well as the hits "Shake It Off" and "Say Somethin'", and the promotional singles "Fly Like A Bird", "So Lonely (One And Only Part II)", and "Mine Again".
EmotionsEmotions by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $6.26 / Used from: $1.79
After a mainstream breakthrough, her second album mainly consists of soulful tracks. Included is the #1 single "Emotions", the Top 5 hits "Can't Let Go" and "Make It Happen", and the promotional single "Till The End Of Time".
Mariah CareyMariah Carey by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $10.99 / Used from: $0.01
Her debut included a mix of pop, soul, gospel, rock synth, and even rap! #1's include "Vision Of Love", "I Don't Wanna Cry", "Someday" and "Love Takes Time". Also included is the promotional single "Prisoner".
E=MC2E=MC2 by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $9.99 / Used from: $3.29
A sequel to the monster hit that was "The Emancipation Of Mimi" is no easy task. Mariah pulls it off, but it's nowhere near as good as the original. Included is the historic #1 "Touch My Body" and the singles "Bye Bye" and "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time". I also recommend "Migrate", "I'm That Chick", "For The Record" and "I Wish You Well".
RainbowRainbow by Mariah Carey
Buy used from: $0.01
This album was a huge disappointment when compared to the 7 albums above. Included are the #1's "Heartbreaker" and "Thank God I Found You", and the promotional singles "Can't Take That Away" and "Crybaby".
GlitterGlitter by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $11.98 / Used from: $2.97
Although universally panned, it's got some redeeming songs like "Never Too Far". Other singles include "Loverboy" and the promotional singles "Don't Stop" and "Last Night A DJ Saved My Life".
CharmbraceletCharmbracelet by Mariah Carey
Buy new: $13.98 / Used from: $0.85
Mariah tried for a comeback with this near-pathetic album. The non-singles are clearly better than the songs chosen as singles: "Through The Rain", "Boy (I Need You)", and "Bringin' On The Heartbreak".
