Mariah Carey Announces 25th Anniversary Glitter Reissue
The expanded edition adds 15 bonus tracks and returns the album to streaming and vinyl, with a new Rochelle Jordan remix leading the rollout.
- On Thursday, August 20, 2026, Mariah Carey announced a 25th-anniversary reissue of her 2001 album Glitter, arriving October 30. She unveiled a reimagined version of "Didn't Mean to Turn You On" featuring British-Canadian singer-songwriter Rochelle Jordan.
- Originally released September 21, 2001, the Glitter soundtrack was overshadowed by the 9/11 attacks and Carey's publicized emotional breakdown. The project faced harsh reviews and lackluster box office performance.
- A fan-led #JusticeForGlitter campaign in 2018 propelled the soundtrack back onto iTunes charts. The deluxe edition features 15 additional tracks and marks the album's first-ever vinyl release in multiple colors.
- "I made this album with so much love and care," Carey said in a statement. She expressed gratitude to fans who championed it, noting vault recordings will be included in October.
- As fans anticipate the October 30 reissue, reports suggest Carey may be planning a UK and European Christmas tour for late 2026. Neither Live Nation nor the singer has confirmed tour dates.
