Mariah Carey releases the Glitter (25th Anniversary) edition on 30 October 2026, bringing the album back in vinyl and expanded digital formats. The release arrives via Def Jam Records and UMe, with the label describing it as the first vinyl edition since the original release.
Mariah Carey brings Glitter back in vinyl and digital
The expanded Digital Deluxe Edition adds 15 tracks, including rare and previously unreleased recordings. It also returns to all streaming platforms on 30 October 2026. Universal’s release announcement confirms the date and the Def Jam Records and UMe partnership.
Two 2LP editions accompany the digital release. The standard pressing uses Midnight Purple vinyl, while the deluxe version uses Glittering Pink vinyl and adds three bonus tracks. The campaign also includes a newly reimagined version of Didn’t Mean To Turn You On featuring Rochelle Jordan.
Mariah Carey’s Glitter blends pop, funk, hip-hop and R&B
Glitter is Mariah Carey’s eighth studio album and the soundtrack to the film of the same name. Its musical palette joins dance-pop, funk, hip-hop and R&B, placing the anniversary set across several strands of her catalogue. That combination links the reissue to both her pop identity and her R&B work.
The album’s familiar material includes Loverboy, Never Too Far and Don’t Stop (Funkin’ 4 Jamaica). The deluxe vinyl also adds Out Here On My Own, Never Too Far/Hero (Medley) and Loverboy (Firecracker - Original Version). uDiscover’s album details identify the edition as a return to vinyl and streaming with expanded content.
Mariah Carey’s anniversary edition adds two physical formats
The physical editions give the anniversary project a clear split between standard and deluxe presentation. Both are double albums, while the deluxe pressing carries the three additional tracks named in the release details. The digital edition broadens the project further with material from Carey’s personal vault and new collaborations.
KLSH produced the reimagined Didn’t Mean To Turn You On with Rochelle Jordan. The track extends the anniversary project beyond archival material by adding a new interpretation to the album’s existing songbook. The release therefore connects Carey’s original soundtrack with contemporary contributors.
