Amazon.com: 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"). Some hit, some miss, but all feature the fluttery swoops that Carey substitutes for expression of feeling. Depth is beside the point, but few of these tracks are even fun. Still, after eight years, there seems to be no stopping her, and this album will hardly break her streak of successes. --Rickey Wright

Rating: - Mariah On Top
What's hotter than a midsummer's day? Mariah Carey's music, that's what. With the release of the album, #1's (why it's possessive, I don't know), her music becomes revived, a candle rekindled to remind everyone ... Read More
Rating: - Fantastic look at the first years of her career.
When released in the fall of 1998 (during the popular Christmas rush), Mariah Carey already had an impressive number of hit singles on the chart, of which a remarkable 13 (more than half of her hits at that point) ... Read More
