Okay so i was thinknig last night at which point in Mariah's career do we think she had the ultimate monopoly on the charts, most star power, and when she really was at the top of her game well ahead of any of her nearest competitors. And I came to the conclusion it was during the release of #1's I feel this period of her career she really was at her most popular and her most famous. She was riding high from her most critically acclaimed album Butterfly, she was i think at her most sexiest / glamorous in her visual look (#1's cover *cough cough pure sex appeal! Plus some of the best videos shes ever made, The Roof, Breakdown, I Still Believe) The music she was releasing was i think some of her all time best material especially the remixes for some of her 98 singles, she had just featured on a duet with the other biggest female star on the planet, on a personal level she was blossoming as a single female, fresh from her divorce and I think MC was just all round the number 1 artist at the time. The release of a 'greatest hits' containing all her then #1 singles just cemented the fact she was mega mega huge at that point! Not too mention her selling power at that stage, #1's is still one of her best selling Albums. I LOVE that era! I was transfixed at her #1's cover last night thinking my god she really nailed that cover the era and the general feeling towards her as a singer songwriter.
