 WHY IS IT BACKWARDS!?!, 2008-10-20
I do like that Mariah supposedly "hand picked" this compilation, but what drives me up the wall is the fact the stupid thing is backwards. All the newer songs (bar I Still Believe) are at the beginning and all her later hits are at the end, which makes it very confusing when manually looking for a certain track on the CD player. The track listing isn't on the back, either. It's on the insert. The back just has a randomized list of songs on a bullet chart. If you want to get technical (and I don't really give a crap about the number status of her singles), I believe a hand full of the songs never exactly made it to one on the chart.

# 1's by Mariah Carey was released a decade ago but this album still holds up thanks to Mimi's much loved hits. I was a huge fan of Mariah from 1990-1997. After the Butterfly album I lost interest in her music and image. I think Mariah wrote some of the best pop ballads ever written like Love Takes Time, I Don't Wanna Cry, Hero, and Whenever You Call. This is classic Mariah, just the way I like it.

 Honest and Professional, 2008-06-30
Great 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.
Mariah On Top, 2008-06-07
What'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!

Fantastic look at the first years of her career., 2008-04-19
When 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.
