Charmbracelet is the twelfth album and eighth studio album by American singer Mariah Carey, released in the United States on December 2 2002 (see 2002 in music) by Island Records. It was her first album on the label and was also her first following the release of her film Glitter (2001) and its accompanying soundtrack album Glitter, both of which were critical and commercial disappointments. Sales of Charmbracelet were a vast improvement over those of Glitter, but it was still only a moderate success and Carey was unable to garner any US hits from the album.
