  1. "Infinity"
    Released: April 27, 2015

#1 to Infinity is the third greatest hits album by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey. It was released on May 18, 2015 in the United States, by Sony Music.[a] The North American edition of the album compiles Carey's then eighteen US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, the highest for a solo artist,[b] while the international edition excludes some US number-ones in favor of international number-one hits. Also included in the album is one new recording, "Infinity", which was released as the album's only single on April 27, 2015.

In January 2015, the singer announced that she had signed a residency deal to perform at The Colosseum at the Caesars Palace hotel in Las Vegas in May and July 2015, (later extended into 2016 and 2017) and would perform all of her number ones. As a result, she decided to re-release her first compilation, 1998's #1's, with an updated list of subsequent chart toppers. Carey promoted the album with her #1 to Infinity residency and with live performances at the Billboard Music Awards, Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Live! with Kelly and Michael.

Background

[edit]

Following the release of Mariah Carey's fourteenth studio album, Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse, in May 2014, she parted ways with her record label Def Jam Recordings, her publicist Cindi Berger and her manager Jermaine Dupri.[4] She signed a new record contract with L.A. Reid at Epic Records (who co-executively produced Carey's tenth album The Emancipation of Mimi in 2005), sought a new publicist with Chris Chambers of the Chamber Group and hired new managers Stella Bulochnikov and Brian Sher.[4] Writers Shirley Halperin and Andrew Hampp of Billboard attributed Carey's decision to seek a new label and management to the low sales of Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse, which at a total of 117,000 units since its release, is Carey's lowest selling album in the United States.[5] Carey secured a multi-album record deal with Epic in January 2015, a subsidiary of Sony Music; the lead single, "Infinity", is her first newly recorded material released through Sony since her 1999 studio album Rainbow.[5]

Following the release of Rainbow, Carey left Sony and signed an $80 million, four-album contract with EMI's Virgin Records, wishing to sever all ties with Sony and its chairman, her former husband Tommy Mottola.[5] Halperin and Hampp believe that following a prolonged period of absence from Sony and re-signing with them is a positive situation for Carey: "Doug Morris, current chairman/CEO of Sony Music, brought Carey to Island Def Jam in 2003 when he was running Universal Music Group. Reid, then head of Island Def Jam, oversaw her Mimi-powered 2005 comeback. Joey Arbagey, a collaborator of Carey's during the making of the six-times platinum The Emancipation of Mimi, is now executive vp A&R at Epic."[5] Furthermore, Carey released seven studio albums, a live EP and four compilation albums with Sony, which have sold a total of 54 million units in the US combined.[6] Although Halperin and Hampp note that "Carey's legacy is undisputed, her recent stumbles have not gone unnoticed," with regard to her divorce from Nick Cannon, the low sales of Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse and its failure to garner a top-ten single on the Billboard Hot 100 and hiring and firing three managers: Dupri, Randy Jackson and Kevin Giles (the last of whom Carey has kept as a consultant). As a result, several record labels were reluctant to offer Carey a contract.[5] According to Billboard, many other critics felt that reuniting with Reid is Carey's best chance of re-establishing herself on the charts.[5]

Development

[edit]

In January 2015, Carey announced that she would re-release #1's (1998) with an updated selection of songs that had reached number one after #1's: "Heartbreaker" (1999), "Thank God I Found You" (2000), "We Belong Together" (2005), "Don't Forget About Us" (2005) and "Touch My Body" (2008).[7] The North American track listing of #1 to Infinity features Carey's then eighteen US number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 and one new recording, "Infinity".[8] Instead of the original studio version of her third number one "Someday", the live recording from her MTV Unplugged EP (1992) is included instead; Carey explains in the liner notes of #1 to Infinity that she felt the studio version was "overproduced".[9] Also substituted was the original version of her ninth number one "Fantasy", with the Bad Boy Fantasy remix featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard; Carey describes the remix as a "turning point" in her career.[9]

"Thank God I Found You" was omitted from the Japanese track listing, and replaced with "All I Want for Christmas Is You", which remains her best-selling single in the country.[10][11] "Someday", "I Don't Wanna Cry" and "Thank God I Found You" were omitted from the international track listing, and were replaced with "Without You" (number one in New Zealand,[12] the United Kingdom,[13] and several European territories[12]), "Endless Love" with Luther Vandross (number one in New Zealand[14]) and "Against All Odds" featuring Westlife (number one in the United Kingdom[13]). For the album artwork, Carey launched a social media campaign on April 12, 2015, whereby fans had to share a link to her website in order to reveal the cover which was concealed by a curtain. Using the hashtag "#RevealMariah", the more shares the link received, the quicker the cover was revealed.[15][16] Fans unlocked the final image a day later on April 13.[17]

Release and promotion

[edit]

On January 15, 2015, Carey appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show to announce that she signed a contract to take up residency at The Colosseum at the Caesars Palace hotel in Las Vegas in May and July 2015; it is called #1 to Infinity.[18] During the interview, Carey confirmed "I'm going to do my first ever residency in Vegas at Caesars."[18] "This is a special event for me. And again, I have to hope that the fans will enjoy this cause I'm gonna be performing, which was kind of inspired by my album #1's, and this is now the updated version with eighteen of them. Hopefully other people will enjoy this. I've never done this before."[18] The confirmation of Carey's residency came after Canadian megastar Celine Dion announced that she had postponed dates of her residency at Caesars Palace to care for her husband, René Angélil, who was suffering from cancer.[18] Aside from singing "Infinity" at her residency,[19] Carey performed a medley of her 1990 debut single "Vision of Love" followed by "Infinity" at the Billboard Music Awards on May 17, 2015; it was her first performance at the ceremony in seventeen years.[20][21][22] Andrew Hampp for Billboard described the performance as "octave-leaping" and one of the most memorable of the night.[23] Other promotional appearances included Jimmy Kimmel Live! and Live! with Kelly and Michael.[24][25] For the latter, Carey wore an Aurora-inspired dress from the Disney film Sleeping Beauty and performed on Main Street, U.S.A. in Disney World.[25] Sony Music released #1 to Infinity on May 18, 2015 in the United States.[1][2]

"Infinity" was released on April 27, 2015 as the album's only single, and was the only new recording to be included on the track list.[26] It is a mid-tempo R&B song[27][28] written by Carey, Eric Hudson, Priscilla Renea, Taylor Parks and Ilsey Juber.[9] Lyrically, the song is about Carey freeing herself and emancipation,[29] however many critics speculated that the lyrics were specifically about her separation from her second husband, Nick Cannon.[26][28][30][31] In response, Carey said that the song was not a reflection of her personal life, but even if it was, she would not publicly confirm who it was written about.[29] Critical response to the song was positive, with many critics praising Carey's vocals and her comical songwriting, specifically with regard to the reference about Fritos.[27][32] "Infinity" reached number 82 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming her forty-seventh entry since her debut in 1990.[33]

Reception

[edit]

Critical reception

[edit]

Jamieson Cox, from Time, wrote that "if you needed a reminder of just how thoroughly Mariah Carey dominated the 90s, or a refresher on the staggering force of the numbers she’s put up throughout her career, #1 To Infinity will do just fine", but also pointing out that most of the songs were released from 1990 to 1995, just 20% of Carey's entire recording career, as well as criticizing the lack of material released between 2005 and 2015. Nonetheless, he praised the compilation for highlighting "the sheer athleticism and skill that propelled Carey's early work. She took very simple songs—both in terms of arrangements and theme—rooted in pop, gospel, and R&B and turned them into feats of strength, granting them dynamism and drama with a voice that juggled power, clarity, and agility with ease".[34] Andy Kellman of AllMusic gave a positive review of the album, and praised the new track "Infinity" as an "elaborate and mystifying set-up for a display of Carey's whistle range".[35]

Commercial performance

[edit]

#1 to Infinity debuted at number 29 on the US Billboard 200 chart on June 6, 2015,[36] selling 15,000 copies in its first week, marking the ninth highest debut of the week and the twentieth best-selling album of the week.[37] It became her twentieth album to make the chart. Her eponymous album had debuted at number 80 twenty-five years prior in 1990 and later became her first of six number-one albums in 1991.[38] #1 to Infinity peaked at number 2 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart[39][40] and R&B Albums chart, respectively.[41][42] As of November 2018, the album has sold 86,000 copies in the United States.[43] In the United Kingdom, the album debuted at number 8 on May 24, 2015, remaining on the chart for 5 weeks.[44][45] On the UK R&B Albums Chart, the compilation reached number 1.[46] Similarly, the album peaked at number 18 on the Australian Albums Chart,[47] but reached number 2 on the Urban Albums Chart.[48]
