# The Essential Mariah Carey
 Essential Mariah Carey, Amerikalı şarkıcı ve söz yazarı Mariah Carey'nin üçüncü en iyiler albümü. Albüm Haziran 2011'de İngiltere ve İrlanda'da önceki albümü "Greatest Hits'in" bir yeniden sürümü olarak piyasaya sürüldü. ABD'de, 9 Mayıs 2012'de Sony's The Essential serisinin bir parçası olarak tamamen yeni bir albüm olarak yayımlandı ve Mariah'nın Columbia Records döneminde çıkan şarkıları içermektedir. Bazı şarkıları (orijinal 2001 "Greatest Hits" sürümünde yer alan) genişletilmiş kulüp mix'leriyle değiştirilmiştir. Albüm kitapçığının içindeki kapakların çoğu, "Greatest Hits" sürümü ile benzerlik göstermektedir.
