Production

The album features Carey's duet with Busta Rhymes, "I Know What You Want" (2003), originally recorded for Rhymes' album It Ain't Safe No More. It also includes two tracks previously only available in Japan: the So So Def Remix of "The One", a canceled single from Carey's Charmbracelet (2002) album; and "Miss You" featuring Jadakiss (which was originally recorded for Charmbracelet). Five of the tracks on disc two - "Breakdown" (1997), "Sweetheart" (1998), "Crybaby" (1999), "Miss You" and "I Know What You Want" - are not remixes at all. All three of Carey's record labels - Columbia Records, Virgin Records and Island Records - agreed to license tracks for the album, while "I Know What You Want" was licensed from J Records.

Like Carey's other partially authorized compilation album, Greatest Hits (2001), The Remixes was given limited promotion. However, with her ex-husband Tommy Mottola having been fired from Sony/Columbia, Carey was able to have greater input into the project and consequently gave some interviews in support of the album. The album peaked at number 1 for eight weeks on Billboard's Top Electronic Albums chart, selling 40,697 copies in its first week of its U.S. release. It debuted at number 26 on the Billboard 200, spent five weeks on the chart. The Remixes has sold 289,000 copies in the U.S. as of November 2018.[4]
