Mariah Carey shot to superstardom with her first album release in 1990. By the beginning of the next decade her career was on a serious downward slide, but she made a major comeback in 2005.

Carey's next studio album, Music Box, was released in 1993, and saw Mariah at the apex of her popularity, becoming her largest selling LP worldwide. It yielded two of her signature songs, "Hero" in the US and "Without You" internationally. From lead single "Dreamlover" onwards, Carey began a string of successful international hits.

Rainbow (1999) - Most notable for being the first major Mariah Carey studio album since 1991's Emotions to fail to reach the top of the album chart, this collection is a bit too formulaic. That didn't stop "Heartbreaker" from being yet another smash single.

Mariah Carey, who suffered a brief career slump after dominating the pop charts during the 1990s, had a major comeback with last year's "The Emancipation of Mimi," the best-selling pop album of 2005. She won a Grammy for the single "We Belong Together."

When she was eighteen, Carey and her friend, singer Brenda K. Starr, went to a party hosted by CBS Records. Starr convinced Carey to bring along one of her demo tapes. She intended to give the tape to Columbia’s Jerry Greenberg, but Tommy Mottola, the president of Columbia Records (later Sony), intercepted it before she could hand it to Greenberg. After listening to the tape on the way home from the party, Mottola signed Carey immediately and set her to work on her first album, Mariah Carey (1990) which included four No. 1 singles: “Vision of Love,” “Love Takes Time,” “Some Day,” and “I Don’t Wanna Cry.” Her second album Emotions was released in 1992; the title track became her fifth No. 1 single, and included hits “Can’t Let Go” and “Make it Happen.”

With Mariah Carey's recent album "Charmbracelet" ditching the ghetto-fabulous/hoochie-mama look that led to the personal and professional breakdown of "Glitter," one would have expected a subdued performance on Monday night. What the Arlington Theatre audience of Carey devotees got was pure Vegas, baby.
