Mariah Carey

Since her 1990 Debut, Mariah Carey has sold more than 115 million records worldwide and has earned an astounding 81 gold, platinum, and multi-platinum records. Her career has been an extraordinary succession of number ones and record-breaking firsts in the music world. With more number one albums (four) than any female artist in the 1990s, Carey was the first female artist to see two of her albums (Music Box and DayDream) reach the ten million mark in sales, and she is the only female artist to have eight albums certified triple platinum or better. Mariah's entire album catalog has achieved RIAA multi-platinum status.

She has had more number one singles than any artist during the 1990s and has seen more singles debut at number one than anyone else. Mariah Carey's second DVD #1's delivers just what the title promises: videos for 14 of her chart-toppers, including "Heartbreaker," "Fantasy," "Dreamlover," "Always Be My Baby," "Love Takes Time," "Honey," and "Emotions." The disc also includes MTV Unplugged performances of "I'll Be There" and "Someday" and live versions of "Hero" and "Vision of Love." As a bonus, the DVD also includes the video for the remix of "Heartbreaker," which features Da Brat and Missy Elliott. Interviews and interactive menus make #1's a better-than-average DVD video collection and one that will doubtlessly please Carey's legions of fans. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
