Both divas dominated the charts in the late 90s and early 20s. Here on ATRL, they will battle it out for the greatest and most iconic songs and albums.
On November 2, 1999, Mariah Carey released her seventh album "Rainbow", which spawned two number one hits. It would be the Mariah's last on the Columbia label. After signing a $100 million five-album deal with Virgin, her eighth album / soundtrack to the film of the same name, "Glitter" was released on September 11, 2001, to disappointing sales, weak singles, and poor critical reception. However, Mariah recovered quickly, and "Charmbracelet", her ninth studio album, was released on December 3, 2002. Although it sold better than her previous effort, its singles failed to make an impact in the US.
Jennifer Lopez, still newly signed to Columbia, released her first album "On the 6" on June 1, 1999, which followed a successful number one hit single. "J.Lo", her second studio effort, was released on January 23, 2001, sold 272,000 copies in its first week and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. The remixes of two of "J.Lo"'s tracks, "Ain't It Funny (Murder Remix)" and "I'm Real (Murder Remix)" both reached number one in the US. Nearly two years later, on November 19, 2002, "This Is Me... Then" was released. Two of its singles reached the top three on the Hot 100.
Send me a personal message, rating each track from 1 to 10, 1 being the lowest and 10 being the highest.
The voting period has been extended to March 20.
Glitter is the strongest of the 3 when you sort out the filler. Its a really great time period piece that truly celebrates the 80's in all its decadence. Rainbow is a poor man's Butterfly and Charmbracelet is a poor man's Music Box.
This is probably the hardest of the rates that I've been interested in.

Rainbow is so terrible!
Yes. This is the campiest rate ever! Obviously Heartbreaker will be number one and Waiting for Tonight will be number two. After that, it's like - where are the good songs?
I don't know if I actually want to participate in this rate, but I kind of stan for the Glitter soundtrack, and if I don't see "Reflections" and "All My Life" in the top five, I will probably burn this thread to the ground.
