Mariah Carey Reclaims 'Glitter' Flop for 25th Anniversary

Mariah Carey is gearing up to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her 2001 film, 'Glitter.' Initially a significant commercial and critical disappointment, the film grossed approximately $5 million against a $22 million budget, and its accompanying soundtrack became Carey's lowest-selling album.

Carey recently shared with Variety her plans for a deluxe reissue or a similar project to mark the milestone. She also expressed interest in remastering music videos from that era, noting that 'Glitter' has since cultivated a devoted fanbase. This renewed appreciation contrasts with her past feelings of regret over the project.

Fans played a crucial role in rehabilitating 'Glitter''s reputation, launching a successful #JusticeForGlitter campaign in 2018 that propelled the album to the number one spot on iTunes. The film, which marked Carey's feature film debut, tells a rags-to-riches story set in the 1980s New York club scene.

In addition to the 'Glitter' celebration, Carey confirmed she is actively recording new music, expressing excitement for its potential reception. She also mentioned plans to release her shelved grunge album, 'Someone's Ugly Daughter,' though a specific date remains uncertain. Carey was also recently nominated for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for the third time.
