Greatest Hits is the first greatest hits album by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey, released in the United States on December 4, 2001 by Columbia Records. It is a greatest hits double album: CD 1 is primarily a collection of Carey's hits from 1990 to 1995, while CD 2 is primarily a collection of hits from 1996 to 2000. In 2011, the album was re-issued outside the US with the same track listing, under the title of The Essential Mariah Carey.

Content[edit]

Carey had previously released the compilation album #1's (1998), but the release of her Greatest Hits album was a contractual agreement beyond her control, since she had left Columbia Records and had moved on to Virgin Records. The album had little creative input from Carey and there are no personal messages within its liner notes, unlike #1's. All tracks from the previous album, with the exception of 'Whenever You Call' with Brian McKnight, and the #1's non-U.S. bonus track 'Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)' are included on LP.Greatest Hits. Tracks that weren't included on #1's are:

the U.S. top five hits 'Can't Let Go' (1991), 'Make It Happen' (1992) and 'Without You' (1994), and the top twenty hit 'Anytime You Need a Friend' (1994);
the radio airplay-only tracks 'Forever' (1996), 'Underneath the Stars' (1996), and 'Butterfly' (1997);
'Heartbreaker' (1999) and 'Thank God I Found You' (2000), the two singles from Carey's Rainbow album that went to number 1 following the release of #1's, as well as 'Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)' (2000), another track from Rainbow;
'Endless Love' (1994), a top five duet with Luther Vandross, which had not been previously included on any Carey album;
the So So Def remix of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' (2000) featuring Bow Wow and Jermaine Dupri, which had only been included on the Japanese re-release of the single in 2000.

Most non-U.S. versions of Greatest Hits retain the track listing as listed below with the addition of 'Against All Odds' (2000), a duet with Westlife. The Japanese version contains 'Against All Odds', 'Open Arms' (1996), the non-single album track 'Music Box' from the album Music Box (1993), and the Merry Christmas album version of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You'; it is also the only album to include the 'Never Too Far/Hero Medley' (2001) single. Unlike most non-U.S. versions of the Greatest Hits album, the So So Def Remix of 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' was not included on the original UK edition but on the album's 2005 re-release.

As of November 2018, Greatest Hits has sold 1,230,000 copies in the US.^[4] Globally, the album has sold an estimated five million copies.^[5]
