Advantages: One of the greatest singers - 29 greatest songs ( if like 2disc cd's) Disadvantages: To many songs for album(i think)
...The Album, MARIAH CAREY - GREATEST HITS (2001) is a excelant CD with all the songs we love, with her amazing voice some songs could bring a tear to the eye and 1 or 2 you wished you skiped but thats what i thought but thats just me. There is 2CD to this album which i thought was to much for one Album.
Here i rated each song out of 10 and what position they rached in the UK/US single charts and how long stayed in UK top 10.

Mariah Carey was born in Long Island, NY on 27th March 1970 to an Irish-American mother and Venezuelan-America father and she is the third child. As a school girl she began singing R&B in NY with Ben Margulies who was her songwriter and best friend and as time went on singing soul, gospel and pop it showed of her amazing voice range that we all know and love today. Before Carey hit the big time with 'VISION OF LOVE' which was massive NO.1 hit in USA she was a struggling waitress untill a friend of her's handed in a demo to Sony Music who were impressed and signed her to Columbia Records!.
In her first year she picked up 2 Grammy awards for Best female and Best new act.
Although Carey is a huge star she has only managed one number 1 hit in the UK with cover of 'WITHOUT YOU' which is one of my favourate song's of her's but Carey has amassed a number of NO.1 singles and albums like 'DAYDREAMER' which sold over 6million in three months in the USA. By the end of the 90's Carey sold over 110 million albums making her one of the biggest sellinf solo female artist and in 2001 Virgin Records signed her for $80 million... not bad for 31 year old hey??. Then 'GLITTER' came along and film and album flopped and they parted and 2005 came back with top spot album and back to her best!.
Carey has dueted with numerous people like fellow diva Whitney Houston which sang the soundtrack to animated film ''the prince of egypt', boyz2men, Trey Lorenz, Luther Vandross and ...Westlife.

Advantages: Plenty of Mariah Hits Disadvantages: Needs to be updated
I bought this album for my sister as a christmas present and i love the way she keeps playing it because i absolutely love the CD myself. Every single song is key to Mariah's career. She hits the high notes perfectly and she does well to blend Pop and R'n'B. There's many uptempo numbers on the CD like Heartbreaker and Emotions but she excels on ballads such as My All. The only downside of this album is that it needs to be updated with her new stuff ...

Advantages: Your favourite Mariah tracks Disadvantages: Due to release date, does not include newest songs
This CD is a must for any MariahCarey fan!
Anyone who knows of Mariah will already know she has an amazing voice, and has enjoyed huge success with her music since 1990, even becoming the biggest-selling female artist of the 1990s.
This greatesthits collection takes us back to the beginning of her career and charts her musical growth throughout the last two decades. There are a total of 29 songs on the double CD, ranging from the opening track, "Vision of Love", which was Mariah's first hit, to her more recent collaborations with Jay-Z ("Heartbreaker"), Westlife ("Against All Odds") and Whitney Houston ("When You Believe").
The CDs are chronologically arranged, with the earliest songs on the first disc and the later ones on the second. There are also miniature photographs of each of the single covers included in ...
Advantages: all of mariahs hits Disadvantages: against all odds with westlife
If you dont have any of mariahs other albums, then you should get this one first. It shows her journey as an artist from her first single Vision of Love to songs from Rainbow, her 1999 album. There are quite a lot of different styles of music from pop to r&b and of course Mariahs trademark ballads.
Every song on this album is good, there are a few covers but mariah has wrote and produced most of the songs herself which quite a lot of people dont realise. All of the hits are on the album, and even some songs you might not have heard. My favourites are Make it Happen and I Still Believe and there are songs that will make you feel happy or sad. Songs to listen to when you have broke up with someone and songs to listen to when you are in love. It will make you want to dance and sing along too! As always Mariahs voice is amazing throughout ...
I bought this album after seeing the track listing. It had all my favourites on one CD. This CD is a must for anyone who has ever like any of her songs. Her voice is so powerful and this album is a mixture of her oldest songs as well as many recent ones, but all of them are classics. Considering that this isn't even a greatesthits album, it is full of all the songs you know MariahCarey for. An excellent buy for any CD collection. If you haven't got it buy it now and you won't regret it. ...

Album Notes
Personnel includes: Mariah Carey (vocals); Trey Lorenz, Jermaine Dupri, Joe, Luther Vandross, 98 Degrees, Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Jay-Z, Lil' Bow Wow. Producers include: Dave Hall, Walter Afanasieff, Mariah Carey, P. Diddy, Jimmy Jam. Despite various tabloid-worthy tribulations and a rather flat cinematic debut in the musical bio-flick GLITTER, Britney and her fellow singing Mousketeers would do well to take notes on the galactic-sized success of '90s diva Mariah Carey. The two-disc GREATEST HITS bears witness to Carey's mind-boggling chart dominance and her remarkable five-octave range. Encompassing all the chart-toppers of 1998's #1'S compilation including "I Don't Wanna Cry," "Hero," and "One Sweet Day," this anthology traces the Long Islander's path from heartfelt balladeer ("Vision Of Love," "Love Takes Time") to hip-hop flavored dance-pop queen ("Fantasy," "Make It Happen"). Among Mariah's most impressive traits is her ability to seamlessly match up with a wide range of duet partners. When she's not digging into a Jackson 5 hit with Trey Lorenz ("I'll Be There") or playing Diana Ross to Lionel Richie's Luther Vandross (the '80s smash "Endless Love"), Carey is throwing down with Jay-Z ("Heartbreaker") and going toe-to-toe with fellow diva Whitney Houston ("When You Believe"). Other notable collaborations include a harmony-soaked meeting with Boyz II Men ("One Sweet Day"), a sweet-flowing Jermaine Dupri outing ("Sweetheart") and a Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis-produced summit with Joe and 98 Degrees ("Thank God I Found You").
