Overview Edit

#1's is the eighth album by American pop/R&B singer Mariah Carey, released by Columbia Records in Europe on November 16, 1998. Carey's first compilation album, it comprises her first thirteen number 1 singles on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart and several new tracks. It was certified 5x platinum in the U.S. after debuting within the top five on the Billboard 200, and it charted strongly elsewhere. Sales of #1's were higher than expected, and its commercial success has been credited with influencing the content of later greatest hits albums by other acts.

Carey has said that she does not consider #1's a greatest hits album and has voiced her disappointment with the omission of her "favorite songs." Reviews were mixed, with criticism directed towards both the new material and the decision to include only Carey's number 1 hits. The singles released from the album - "Sweetheart" featuring Jermaine Dupri, the Academy Award winning Whitney Houston duet "When You Believe" from the soundtrack to The Prince of Egypt, and "I Still Believe", sold well across the world, but they were only moderately popular on U.S. radio. To date, Number 1's has sold over 17 million copies worldwide.

Mariah at her best

There is a reason these songs went to number one. That reason is that they are absolutely incredible! ALways Be My Baby is truly classic, Hero is absolutley inspirational, One Sweet Day is heartwrentching. Honey is a great dance tune and Dreamlover is awesome. Believe it or not, despite her fame, I only recently discovered Mariah Carey. Her Rainbow album was coming out and Bought it because of Heartbreaker. Around that time, The radio stations started playing old Mariah Carey songs. I half-liste…
