Untitled

Butterfly is the sixth studio album by American R&B singer Mariah Carey, released on September 16, 1997 in the U.S on Columbia Records. Butterfly has sold 5 million copies in the U.S.[2] and sold over 15 million copies worldwide.[3] Carey stated that she considered Butterfly her magnum opus, and that it was a serious turning point in her life.

Reception

Butterfly debuted at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 chart with 236,000 copies sold in its first week; it remained there for one week, in the top twenty for twenty-one weeks and on the chart for fifty-five weeks (making one re-entry). The album sold more in both its fourteenth week and fifteenth week of release than in its opening week, peaking at 283,000 copies in its fifteenth (when it was at number 8). It has been certified 5x platinum by the RIAA and produced two number 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100: "Honey" and "My All". "Honey" became the sixth single (and the third by Carey) to debut at number 1 on the Hot 100. The album also yielded the airplay-only singles "Butterfly" and "Breakdown". "The Roof (Back in Time)" and "Whenever You Call" received limited release in some countries.

A limited edition alternate version of the album packaging was released, and is now somewhat hard to find. The disc's contents are the same, but the image of Mariah used on the back tracklisting is switched with the front cover.

Rolling Stone described Butterfly as "a transitional album" for Carey, who placed herself firmly in the "milieu of modern hip-hop-inflected R&B," while Allmusic stated that "it is one of her best albums, illustrating that Carey continues to improve and refine her music which makes her a rarity among her '90s peers."[4]

"Honey" was nominated for the 1998 Grammy Awards for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song, while "Butterfly" was nominated for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. The album won a Japan Gold Disc Award in category International Pop Album of the Year. For Butterfly, Carey won the American Music Award for Favorite Soul/R&B Female Artist in 1998. The album also helped her win the BMI Pop Awards for "Songwriter of the Year" and the "Songwriter" awards for "Honey," "Butterfly" and "My All". Additionally, Carey won the Top Female Artist Blockbuster Entertainment Award.

Butterfly was selected as one of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[5]

The album received a Platinum certification in Europe.[6]
