--
Playlist: The Very Best of Mariah Carey
is clearly aimed at casual fans. However, the set is a little too skimpy to be all that recommendable at all, since it favors some of the singer's second- and third-tier singles over Top Tens.
Playlist
is more like a sampler, one that does feature some must-own
Carey
songs in
"Dreamlover,"
"Emotions,"
"Fantasy,"
and
"Make It Happen."
