Date undefinedGreat experience. Lightning fast order processing and the used product was even better than expected. I was fortunate to find Mariah Carey in the SACD format at all, much less in such great condition. Woodys-books is highly recommended. Woody Hunt is one of the good guys.

Date undefinedWhat'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 of the strong, robust female voice her body encases, not to mention the fact that she can sing in five octaves and hit a note that no normal human being can ever hit. (Okay, so Chihiro can do it, too, but it's not about her.)
The album encases hits like Fantasy, Always Be My Baby, and Emotions. This is an album must have for any Mariah fan, no lie. Plus, this can act as a distant prelude to her latest album, E=MC2!

Date undefinedWhen 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) hit the top spot. As of this writing, Mariah has since had 5 more songs go to #1, and a couple others chart pretty high, making this collection incomplete. However, this is a great introduction to her career.
The other songs on here (newly recorded for this release) are pretty good too. The best, without a doubt, is her cover of "I Still Believe," which is a touchingly beautiful song. Mariah obviously tried to make this a must buy for her more hardcore fans as well as her more casual fans who just wanted her hits on one release. Thankfully, it succeeds both ways.
While this is not a perfect collection (it leaves out hit songs that did not go to the top), this is the best there is as of this review. Until a more complete greatest hits is released (despite what she says in the liner notes, this IS a greatest hits album), this is a good place to begin.
