21 The Emancipation of Mimi, Mariah Carey (2005)
Her triumphant post-Glitter comeback offered a chart-busting brigade of feather-light, Crisco-slick ballads like "We Belong Together" and "Shake It Off."
Prince's 1984 album Purple Rain takes the top spot on the list; followed by Lauryn Hill's The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill (1998), and U2's Achtung Baby (1991) at #2 and #3, respectively. For the full list, click here.

Since ceasing promotion in the U.S. of her much anticipated studio album, E=MC2, and avoiding public appearances after her marriage to comedian Nick Cannon, Mariah Carey is making her television debut on the Jimmy Kimmel Live show. The show will feature a live mini-concert where she will no doubtedly perform her current top 3 singles, "Touch My Body," "Bye Bye," and "I'll Be Loving You Long Time." The big question now is whether or not this legendary artist will also be giving an interview to address her new married life and rumors of trouble in paradise. The show will take place July 31, 2008 in Hollywood, CA.
这位重现辉煌的女星1990年发行了首张专辑,而且连续五首单曲成为美国Billboard Hot 100冠军。Billboard杂志认定Mariah是90年代最为成功的歌手。在经历了一些小的困惑之后,Mariah在2005年重新回到乐坛顶峰。2006年的巡回演唱会“The Adventures of Mimi Tour”是她最为成功的巡回演唱会,也许接下来的巡回将为她创造新的奇迹。

Fifty years ago, in the Aug. 4, 1958, issue, Billboard launched a revolutionary chart called the Hot 100. After nearly two decades of tracking songs distinctively by sales or plays (on jukeboxes and at radio), the Hot 100 was the first list to measure popularity by incorporating both radio play and sales. Scoring the chart's inaugural No. 1 was Ricky Nelson with "Poor Little Fool." Billboard.com is celebrating this milestone in a big way, as it posts all kinds of Hot 100-based charts each week leading up the September unveiling of our special All-Time Hot 100 chart and the commemorative Hot 100 Anniversary issue of Billboard Magazine.
1958年8月4日,Billboard Hot 100正式成立.

From Keith Caulfield's Ask Billboard this week:
Q: Mariah Carey is the female artist with the most No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100. Since some of her hits only spent one or two weeks at the top, I was wondering who is the artist with the most weeks at number one is. Can you answer this?
A: Mariah Carey is both the woman with the most No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 singles (with 18) and the overall artist with the most weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 (with 79).

I have a few questions for you. Is Sony Music ever going to release a box set for Mariah Carey? Are they going to release a collection of all her videos on DVD when she was on their label?
The reason I am asking is that two of my favorite B-side songs she released on CD single are "Slipping Away" and "Do You Think of Me" and (neither) are available on any mainstream Carey album.
Thanks for reading!

Hello Jeff,
I reached out to Sony Legacy (the company's catalog division) and, at least in terms of what's on their upcoming release schedule, there isn't a Mariah Carey box set coming soon.
However, there is a "Love Songs" compilation album from the diva scheduled for release on Jan. 20, 2009. (Just in time for Valentine's Day!)
We're sure the set will feature many of Carey's best known hits, since many of them deal with relationships and love. The "Love Songs" series has been around a number of years now and usually carry a list price of $11.98.
Perhaps some of Carey's lesser-known gems (and b-sides) might make this album? Sure, it's doubtful, but you never know. And, since the album will be released Sony, it will likely only include her work that she did while on Columbia Records through 2000, before she left the label.
Mariah is heading to Las Vegas this weekend to shoot the video for her new single "I Stay In Love" from her platinum selling album E=MC². The video will be directed by Nick Cannon, from a story line that was written by Mariah and Nick. Stay tuned for this video which is guaranteed to feature some of what a fabulous city like Vegas has to offer... amazing nightclubs, the stunning but treacherous desert, hot cars and of course beautiful people. So remember what happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas it could also end up in a Mariah Carey video!
The heart-touching new single "I Stay In Love" by Mariah Carey is available to download at iTunes so be sure to purchase today!
