Mariah Carey announces Glitter 25th anniversary reissue
Published on 08/22/2026 at 21:04 | Editorial responsibility: Rafael Müller, Editor-in-Chief AD HOC NEWS
Mariah Carey is celebrating the 25th anniversary of Glitter with an expanded reissue, and the first new remix arrived on August 20, 2026. According to Universal Music Canada, the package lands on October 30 via Def Jam/UMe and adds 15 tracks.
The Glitter package
The new edition brings Glitter back to vinyl for the first time since 2001 and adds a digital deluxe version with rare and previously unreleased material. Carey also unveiled a reimagined Didn't Mean to Turn You On featuring Rochelle Jordan, which serves as the anniversary's opening move.
That matters because Glitter was never just a soundtrack record. It is Carey's eighth studio album, tied to the 2001 film of the same name, and Universal says it blends dance-pop, funk, hip-hop and R&B.
What the charts show
Mariah Carey also has a fresh German chart signal to go with the anniversary campaign. The Offizielle Deutsche Charts list Glitter with a peak of No. 7 in Germany and 43 chart weeks, while Caution reappeared on the German album chart in July 2026 after a long absence.
That gives the story a local anchor beyond the anniversary rollout. For German readers, the unusual part is not only the reissue itself, but the fact that Carey is present in the current chart conversation again through both catalog titles.

The sound of Glitter
Glitter sits at the crossroads of early-2000s pop, R&B and club music. The album's strongest tracks - from Loverboy to Never Too Far - show Carey leaning into polished hooks, layered vocals and a more cinematic sweep than her earlier hit singles.
The reissue also underlines how the record changed in status over time. What was once treated as a commercial stumble has become a catalog title with enough cultural gravity to support a full anniversary rollout and a new single treatment.
Where Carey stands now
Mariah Carey currently has no announced live date, and the focus is on the Glitter anniversary campaign and its October 30 release.
