Some have the CD sides included from Discog pics, and I excluded the back covers that just featured the song titles with no additional images.

I had forgotten how cute some of these are. #1's might be my favorite...the kunty chart with the song titles? Ate. Debut and Butterfly are iconic, too. E=MC2 and Caution's are better than the actual covers.

Mariah Carey

Daydream

Alt rock album, Someone's Ugly Daughter

Butterfly

#1's

Rainbow

Glitter

Charmbracelet

Emancipation

E=MC2

Memoirs...hate this

Me I Am Mariah

Caution

This slaps

Butterfly & Rainbow

Love when she goes full camp

Rainbow is her best one and the first CD I ever received.

Howling at Daydream, she really used the same picture for Fantasy and then front and back cover of Daydream. It is a beautiful photo though

definitely Debut, Butterfly, Charmbracelet, and Caution

The Me I Am Mariah childhood drawing still takes me out. That little girl was going through it

The pack of cigarettes

These 2 back to back are serving this gif in reverse

She has some great ones but that Emancipation dress is legendary

The way most of these eat

I'm pretty sure that picture was also used for inside of the booklet So it was used for the single, front, back, and inside cover.

OT: Either Emancipation or Rainbow, but I like the creativity for #1's even though she's not in it.

At least they used this for the Forever cover!

ooh, I love the Glitter one for some reason? Leans into the ultra-femme imagery and I love the inclusion of the NYC skyline + "glittering" lights.

Butterfly, TEOM and Caution are my faves, Rainbow is also fun

I kinda hate the Daydream one, it's so boring

Why don't you like Memiors's? 😆

Anyway, gotta go with TEOM, both versions.

Yep.

From a 2008 article:

Carey was born to be a singer, but she wanted to be a star. She found her voice at four and, around the same time, drew a revealing self-portrait that now hangs in her apartment — there is a hall of fame where she displays her countless awards and photos of herself with her idols, including Barbra Streisand, Patti LaBelle, and Aretha Franklin. To judge by the early portrait, Carey always had a sense of self and a penchant for glamour. The drawing depicts a sticklike figure with thick eyelashes and a pronounced beauty mark next to a floating pack of cigarettes. It's labeled in a childish scrawl: "Me I Am Mariah."
