Moving here to avoid confusion[edit]

Carey has been noted for co-writing and producing all of the original material she records. Of her 18 number-one singles in the United States – more than any other solo artist – she has written seventeen of them.[1] According to the liner notes of her albums Emotions (1991), Music Box (1993), Daydream (1995) and Butterfly (1997), Carey wrote all of the former three albums and the majority of the last albums lyrics by herself.[2][3][4][5] The singer has collaborated with various famed songwriters and producers, including Diane Warren, David Foster, Babyface, Jermaine Dupri, Pharrell Williams, Jay Z 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.[1][6] 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.[7] 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.[8]

Although Carey is primarily a pop and R&B artist, she is credited for bringing hip hop into mainstream music.[9] 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.[9] Its success led to Lisa Lopes of TLC to coin the term of the rap/sung collaboration as a new genre called "hip-pop".[9] She has also recorded songs of other genres throughout her career, such as disco on "I'm That Chick"[10][11] and "Meteorite",[12][13] reggae on "Cruise Control",[14] and soul on "Mine Again".[15]

Caution[edit]

I don't have the time at the moment but can someone add in the Caution songs? Kinda alarming that this is a featured list but no one's bothered to even add the singles from the album despite months having passed since release.--NØ 22:16, 16 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This table is a bit complicated and I'm afraid to edit it, but I have some suggestions:

  • The tracklist of upcomint album The Rarities is already available
  • Mariah's version of I Didn't Mean to Turn You On is titled "Didn't Mean to Turn You On", without the I, should be at D
  • Some songs (The Art of Letting Go, The Distance, The One) beginning with "the" are included in the alphabetical order at T, some others (The Beautiful Ones, The First Noel, The Impossible, The Roof, The Star, The Wind) disregard the definite article; should be consistent
  • Alphabetical order is quite chaotic.
  • Some songs are missing: "Don't Play That Song" (a live version was allegedly included on the Australian edition of the debut album), "Mizza", "My Life" and "What Would You Do" (on a Damizza mixtape), "Misty Moon" (cover of a Japanese song). I understand that songs from mixtapes are generally not included and Misty Moon was only for a commercial, but "Don't Play That Song" was actually on an album, it should be included.
