Mariah Carey, Glitter full album zip: Listen to the songs that made her a star

Carey signed with Virgin and aimed to complete the film and soundtrack project. As part of her contract on her $100 million five-album record deal with Virgin Records, Carey was given full creative control.[9] She opted to record an album partly mixed with 1980s influenced disco and other similar genres, in order to go with the film's setting.[9] As the release date grew nearer, the film and album title were changed from All That Glitters to Glitter.[10] In early 2001, Carey's relationship with Latin singer Luis Miguel ended, while she was busy filming Glitter and recording the soundtrack.[11][12] Due to the pressure of losing her relationship, being on a new record label, filming a movie, and recording an album, Carey began to have a nervous breakdown. She began posting a series of disturbing messages on her official website, and displayed erratic behavior while on several promotional outings.[12]

While a seemingly small amount relative to other albums on this list, at the time of its creation, A Night at the Opera was considered the most expensive album that had ever been created. Following a lengthy court case with their previous label, Trident Studios, Queen was in desperate need for some money. While Queen won their court case and was released from their contract, the band members were nearly broke as a result of receiving only sixty-pounds a week from their previous contract. Queen was hungry and desperately needed a chart-topping record if they had any intention on continuing as a band. As a result, Queen went into the studio knowing that if this record was anything less than extraordinary, they would likely have to break up the band. With that in mind, Queen spared no expense in the creation of A Night at the Opera. Thankfully their gamble paid off and the album went on to become a triple platinum record.

Then things started to go downhill. Her next two albums, while successful, were not the pop juggernauts of her early career. She wanted more creative control. The label did not want to give it to her. They were less willing to promote her work, and sales began to slow. As her relationship with Columbia began to fall apart, so did her relationship with her husband, and she separated from both in the early 2000s. She signed with Virgin Records in 2001, and things went from bad to worse. Under Virgin, she basically fell apart, was hospitalized, disappeared for an extended period of time, and her only project under the label, "Glitter", a film and soundtrack, was panned by critics, and largely ignored by the public. She signed with Island/Def Jam a few years later, and over the course of 2003 and 2004, the label carefully shepherded her through a career comeback. Her tenth album, "The Emancipation of Mimi", proved that their strategy had worked. It became the top selling album by a female in 2005, and sold nearly 8 million copies worldwide. Since then, she has continued to remain musically relevant and popular. 2ff7e9595c
