The deeply personal 2002 release of Charmbracelet marked the singer’s coming out party after a year of struggle. Charmbracelet, executive produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Just Blaze, and Jermaine Dupri, saw Carey mixing themes of love with partying and embracing the legendary Roc-A-Fella crew with collaborations from Cam’ron, “Boy (I Need You),” and Jay -Z “You Got Me.” The lead single “Through The Rain,” was considered by Rolling Stone to be a top ten hit of 2002, propelling the album to sales of over 3 million copies.
