List of songs recorded by Mariah Carey
Carey at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival
American singer-songwriter and producer Mariah Carey has recorded songs for fourteen studio albums, including a soundtrack and two Christmas albums, and one remix album. Carey has been noted for co-writing and producing all of her own material, unlike her contemporaries Whitney Houston and Celine Dion.[1] Of her 18 number-one singles in the United States – more than any other solo artist – she has written seventeen of them.[2] According to the liner notes of her albums Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993), Daydream (1995) and Butterfly (1997), Carey wrote the majority of the song's lyrics by herself.[3][4][5][6] The singer has collaborated with various famed songwriters and producers, including Diane Warren, David Foster, Babyface, Jermaine Dupri, Pharrell Williams, Kanye West and production team Stargate, amongst many others.
Carey has recorded some cover versions of other artist's songs at various points throughout her career, aside from covering some well known classics and traditional songs for her two Christmas albums Merry Christmas (1994) and its sequel Merry Christmas II You (2010). Her sixth number-one single, and her only one not to be self-penned, was a cover of the Jackson 5 song "I'll Be There", featuring Trey Lorenz.[2][7] She has also recorded cover versions of "Open Arms" by Journey, "Without You" by Badfinger, "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" by Phil Collins, "Bringin' On the Heartbreak" by Def Leppard and "I Want to Know What Love Is" by Foreigner.[8] In 1998, she recorded a cover of "I Still Believe" by Brenda K. Starr, whom Carey was a back-up vocalist for prior to attaining a record deal, as a thank you for helping her get into the industry.[9]
Although Carey is primarily a pop and R&B artist, she is credited for bringing hip hop into mainstream music.[10] In 1995, she included the rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard on the remix of her ninth number-one single "Fantasy", which set a trend for pop vocalists to feature rappers on their tracks.[10] Its success led to Lisa Lopes of TLC to coin the term of the rap/sung collaboration as a new genre called "hip-pop".[10] She has also recorded songs of other genres throughout her career, such as disco on "I'm That Chick"[11][12] and "Meteorite",[13][14] reggae on "Cruise Control",[15] and soul on "Mine Again".[16]
