Twenty-five years ago, Glitter was the album nobody gave a fair shot.
Released in September 2001 alongside Mariah Carey’s big-screen debut, the soundtrack was overshadowed by tragedy and harsh reviews. But her devoted fans, known as Lambs, never let it go. Years later, the #JusticeForGlitter movement sent the album soaring back up the charts. On Friday, Oct. 30, Carey celebrated the project’s comeback in a way only she could: by logging on to Reddit.
To mark the release of Glitter: 25th Anniversary Deluxe Edition, Carey hosted her first-ever Reddit AMA in r/popculturechat. In true Mimi fashion, she scheduled it for 3:27 p.m. ET, a nod to her March 27 birthday. Thousands of fans flooded the thread, and the diva delivered.
The biggest headline? Her long-rumored secret grunge album. When a fan asked yet again whether it would ever see the light of day, Carey teased that her answer is “#notyet,” adding that it was a hint.
Fans hoping for more anniversary celebrations got good news, too. After seeing the demand, Carey said she’s now making plans for Charmbracelet’s 25th anniversary next year. When asked for her favorite deep cuts from the 2002 album, she playfully noted that she could sense a Lamb campaign brewing before naming “Subtle Invitation,” “The One” and her cover of “Bringin’ On the Heartbreak.”
She also cleared up a fashion mystery. Asked whether she still owns the jersey dress she wore at the 2003 NBA All-Star Game, Carey confirmed she does and that it was Michael Jordan’s actual jersey.
Carey got candid about the Glitter era. She named “Lead the Way” as the most fun song to write, record and produce. She also shared her thoughts on the recently unearthed demo of “Never Too Far,” saying she preferred it in some ways. And when a fan asked whether Rick James wrote “All My Life” specifically for the soundtrack, Carey revealed it came straight from his vault. The funk legend told her he’d held onto the song for years, and she said she’s thrilled with how well it worked on the album.
Some of the best moments came from fans digging deep into her catalog. One Lamb shared a vintage promo suggesting that her 1991 album Emotions was originally titled The Wind. Carey’s response was simple: “not to my recollection.” When a fan suggested the Daydream era was cut short, she fired back that she went on a world tour. And fellow Marilyn Monroe fans learned that her favorite films starring the icon are Gentlemen Prefer Blondes and The Misfits.
Asked what 2001 Mariah would tell her today, she joked that her younger self would say to hold on, because a festive Glitter moment and The Emancipation of Mimi were on the way. And her favorite song she’s ever written? “Underneath the Stars” from Daydream.
For an album that was once written off, Glitter is finally getting the celebration it deserves, with Mariah leading the party.
