Mariah Carey, the biggest-selling female recording artist of the 1990's, is ringing out the decade with Rainbow, her first album of all-new material since 1997's quadruple-platinum Butterfly.
According to Billboard (October 16, 1999), Rainbow is "a seamless synthesis of the pure-pop sound that distinguished her early efforts and the streetwise rhythms inherent in her more recent recordings."

Mariah Carey is the only artist to have had a #1 single for every year of the 1990's. With the exception of Merry Christmas (from which there was no single release) and #1's (a collection of her first 13 chart-toppers), Mariah has hit #1 with the debut single from every one of her albums. With the exception of her cover version of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There," Mariah has co-written all of her #1's, including "Thank God I Found You."
As of September 1999, Mariah Carey had sold more than 120 million albums and singles worldwide and earned an astounding 84 RIAA gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications for her singles, albums, and videos. As one of the most popular recording artists of the 1990s, Mariah has provided an ongoing soundtrack to the decade. With the arrival of Rainbow, she continues to give voice to the emotions of our age.
