Today, we’re going to be talking about how Mariah Carey made a triumphant career return following the release of her tenth studio album in 2005 - “The Emancipation of Mimi”.

After the collective failure that was her eighth studio album, “Glitter” and its successor “Charmbracelet” still falling short of her earlier successes in the decade prior, “The Emancipation of Mimi” proved Mariah Carey’s staying power and ability to rebuild herself following career missteps and personal difficulties.

With over 200 million worldwide sales, a plethora of awards and honors specifically dedicated to her, 19 No. 1 singles and 6 No. 1 records, Mariah Carey is a true powerhouse in the industry and one of the most prolific names in pop music. But even legends have times in their career where they may lose their footing

Y'all can come for me for mispronouncing 'Tommy Mottola' but judging by how I couldn't even pronounce Madonna's daughters' name in my most recent video...let's just assume I'm never going to get a single name right moving forward 😭 😅...

[benarlo]

it is THE biggest comeback of music history!! mariah did THAT!

[garrettferguson]

Mariah Carey is the only artist that has made a comeback with a single that topped the decade end charts in the 2000s! It’s remarkable and an inspiring story! It just goes to show you that fighting hard no matter what pays off!

[coollandscape]

mariah carey is such a legend. her comeback was HUGE and well-deserved!!

[davept]

It's hard to call it a "comeback" because she's always been there slayin.

I don’t even know if this video is still able to comprehend just how massive the TEOM era. Not only did the album sell extremely well, but WBT was number 1 for 14 weeks and blocked Shake it Off which sat at number 2. To then have DFAU go number 1 as well, for someone who had been completely written off after Charnbracelet to then have the tied second longest running number 1 song of all time (WBT) and a further two top 2 hits, is nothing short of miraculous. Mariah went from uncool and over the hump to the biggest star in the world again. I don’t think anyone will ever have such a prolific comeback ever again, truly a moment in pop culture history that will never be repeated probably!

The greatest comeback by a female artist after Private Dancer by Tina Turner. Mariah Carey went through it from 2001-2004. So many thought her career was over to the point of no return. I remember listening to the lead single ''It's Like That'' on the radio. I thought it was a very good song, but it isn't among her best and I had to buy TEOM to see if she was truly gonna end her 4 year decline. After I finished listening to it, I knew she would return to her chart-topping, award-winning days... and she did.

My favorite songs from the album are We Belong Together, Say Something, Fly Like A Bird, and Don't Forget About Us. She had so many breathtaking live performances during this era, such as the 2005 BET Bluebrint Special, the 2006 Grammy Awards, and of course her 6th concert tour, The Adventures Of Mimi. There is only one Mariah Carey.

The only reason that 'Shake It Off' didn't hit the #1 spot is because her colossal comeback mega-hit lead-single 'We Belong Together' was still in the #1 spot (for 14 weeks altogether).

[lanadelray]

She received her biggest sucess awhile jlo and Tommy Motola trying to Sabotage her career

[broobno]

She’s legendary, this whole album was a masterpiece. Charmbracelet outsold some albums from artist considered in there “peak” but in Mariah standards I guess it was Low

[jaeypaschal]

PD!!! The funny thing about this era and that album was that's how I was introduced to her. I literally thought "Shake it Off" was her first song ever and TEOM was her first album ever. She came through so fresh like a new artist. Once I found out she had plenty of album before, I went down a rabbit hole and by the end of it I was a lamb.❤

[marcocarloalcaraz]

She faught hard for her freedom, she deserve all her success

[cloudofreverie]

She came back swinging in 2005. Absolutely one of the best comebacks in history along Madonna and Britney.

[MayankSharma-itvr]

Not one of the biggest comeback but the biggest comeback

[mijalakis]

"All hail and bow to Mariah Carey, The Queen of Divas, Protector of the vocal skills from the realm, Archiduchess of Vocal range/registers, Empress of agility, The unmatched, The Mellisma mother, The Goddess of Songwriting and producing, The one often imitated, but never duplicated, The embodiment of pure success, The legs of a celestial", . My simpleton ears are not worthy of your talent but a simple sung phrase will be enough to heal me for all eternity.

[MarioLanzas.]

if someone in the industry has the right to be a diva, that's Mariah

[aironoliveira]

manifesting a comeback like this for katy

[aydenlucas]

of course you post this as soon as i turned on "We Belong Together"

[CJvid]

I’ve always thought it was so weird that critics hated on charmbracelets vocals since vocally it’s one of Mariahs strongest (second prime)

[TheCrazeGod]

She gave it her all after Charmbracelet, The
Emancipation of Mimi as an album was filled with everything she was as an artist. Sure, the albums before then were also her (especially Butterfly), but she definitely still felt that she still had to prove herself after all those years getting panned and criticised. Find me another mainstream album so full of high notes in 20 tracks (ultra platinum edition) and let me know if anyone else has successfully replicated what she did with Emancipation of Mimi!

She was doing live promos and also touring singing all those difficult songs, and gave her all. I still love Mimi and I'm happy that she managed a comeback 15 years later into her career and so far no one else had managed to even come close to her (Confessions of a Dancefloor almost came as close).

Unfortunately, her voice was never quite the same after the album. She was clearly overworked and her voice was incredibly fatigued and started showing signs of damage. I'm just happy these days she releases music for enjoyment and she is still able to show her musicianship even with songs not as insanely high as her prime. I enjoy her music and her legacy will never be diminished or replicated.
