What was Mariah Carey's own record imprint for the album "Charmbracelet"?

The story behind the answer

Mariah Carey’s own record imprint for Charmbracelet was MonarC Entertainment. The album was released in North America on December 3, 2002, through MonarC Entertainment and Island Def Jam.

Carey launched MonarC after signing with the Island Def Jam Music Group. The imprint’s name reflected her long-standing fascination with butterflies, an image already central to her music and visual identity. Charmbracelet was the label’s first major Carey album after her difficult period surrounding Glitter and its soundtrack.

The imprint should not be confused with Crave Records, a short-lived label Carey had been involved with earlier in her career, or with Island Def Jam, the parent distribution partnership. MonarC’s logo also appeared on The Remixes, released in 2003. Carey later shut down the imprint, and subsequent releases appeared under Island Records alone.
