What is the title of Mariah Carey's debut album?

The title of Mariah Carey's debut album is Mariah Carey. Released by Columbia Records on June 12, 1990, the self-titled album introduced Carey as a major new voice in pop and R&B.

The album grew from Carey's early songwriting and vocal work, including a demo tape that reached Columbia executive Tommy Mottola. Its songs highlighted her five-octave vocal range and blended pop, soul, gospel, and contemporary R&B. The album produced four consecutive U.S. number-one singles: "Vision of Love," "Love Takes Time," "Someday," and "I Don't Wanna Cry."

A common mix-up is confusing the debut album with Carey's later albums Butterfly, Daydream, or Emotions. Those are all important releases, but Mariah Carey came first. The album won the Grammy Award for Best New Artist and Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for "Vision of Love," establishing the career that followed.
