High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! #1`s is the first compilation album by American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey, released by Columbia Records on November 17, 1998. The album contained Carey`s thirteen number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, as well as four new songs. In Japan, #1`s also included her popular single "All I Want for Christmas Is You", which remained Carey`s biggest selling single there. Though showing the characteristics of a regular greatest hits album, Carey expressed a dislike for the track listing, which she called a large collection of her most commercial singles. Carey felt that if #1`s was a traditional greatest hits album, then it would include other songs that did not reach number one, but were far more important in her career. She has regularly voiced her frustration with the song choices on the album, expressing her disappointment with the omission of her "favorite songs."
