Amazon.co.uk Review
Mariah Carey's #1's is as much a time capsule of 1990s 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

CD Description
Blessed with a voice that covers more of a range than anyone this side of Minnie Riperton, and a knack for ingratiating, breezy pop/R&B, Mariah Carey became one of the premier popdivas of the '90s. For those who were hibernating during that decade, #1's lays it all out in an easily digestible format, presenting Carey's biggest and best under one roof. Fromthe inspirational message of the poignant ballad "Hero" to the roots nod of "I'll Be There" (with impressive assistancefrom Trey Lorenz), it's clear that Carey has charisma to match her chops. On the infectious, almost giddy "Dream Lover"she voices her romantic desires so sweetly that the listener is moved by the urge to jump into the track on a white horse and whisk her off to some mythological paradise. Now that's the mark of a convincing singer.

Customer Reviews

a must have
Mariah Carey's rise to the top has been nothing short of spectacular and this album is testament to that, the album includes all of her American number one singles (which were accumulated over an 8 year period), in fact only the Beatles have spent more weeks at number one on the American charts than Mariah. The album is highlighted by the spectacular vocal ability of one of the greatest singers of modern times, the ballad is really Mariah's forte and she proves this time and time again with sweet soulful tracks like "I'll Be There", "My All", "One Sweet Day" and "Hero". Mariah also shows that her music has a lighter side with the fun tracks "Fantasy", "Emotions", "Dreamlover" and "Honey". The only problem I have with the album is that I own all of Mariah's albums, so there's really nothing new and you have to fork out the price of a full cd to hear three new tracks, but three tracks which are so brilliant that they are almost worth the 14 pounds you are about to pay, namely the hip hop based track "Sweetheart" (featuring JD) and the ballads "When You Believe" (featuring Whitney Houston) and Whenever You Call" (featuring Brian Mcknight). Overall it's a simply brilliant collection.

mariah carey 1#s
MC, is back with the number 1# album which is totally amazing.
i have most of her albums and i am a massive fan of her. she is the one and only true diva, and with the best voice i've heard from anyone ever! the album has got all of her top balleds like Hero, i'll be there,honey, and fantasy. ( in my opinion is the best one.)this album is simply the best.

12 of Mariah's US #1 hits and 6 bonus tracks
This album is amazing. This is an excellent effort from Mariah and definately one of her best albums. This includes 12 of Mariah's #1 singles, and at the time of this release there were 13. Mariah has now had 16 US #1's - thanks to We Belong Together. It includes so many great duets, like One Sweet Day features Boys 2 Men, which topped the US Charts for 16 weeks - a record breaker! It also includes When You Believe, with Whitney Houston from The Prince Of Egypt. Also included on this album is Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight. Aswell as duets, it also includes Mariah's most popular hits such as My All, the classic R'n'B remix of Fantasy with O.D.B, Hero and many more. Bonus tracks include such songs as Sweetheart and the UK #1 hit, Without You. A great buy and a must-have if you are a Mariah Carey fan.
