Mariah Carey continues to bridge her pop legacy with new projects in 2026. According to a label announcement cited by music outlets, she is preparing a 25th anniversary reissue of the Glitter soundtrack while also releasing the Olympic-linked single Volare / Nothing Is Impossible (Live From The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games).
Glitter turns 25 with expanded editions
The 25th anniversary campaign for Glitter brings the 2001 soundtrack back to vinyl with both standard and deluxe double-LP editions, as detailed in a recent label press release reported by a specialist music site summarizing the Glitter reissue.
The standard pressing appears on Midnight Purple vinyl with the original 12-track running order, while a Glittering Pink deluxe double-LP adds three bonus tracks on a fourth side: Out Here On My Own, Never Too Far/Hero (Medley) and Loverboy (Firecracker – Original Version). This configuration underlines how Carey and her team use anniversaries to restore catalog titles that were overlooked on initial release.
Olympic single connects new material and legacy
In parallel, Carey has issued the two-track digital single Volare / Nothing Is Impossible (Live From The Milano Cortina 2026 Olympic Winter Games), released March 27, 2026 on the gamma. imprint in collaboration with the International Olympic Committee, as listed on Apple Music’s single entry for Volare / Nothing Is Impossible.
The single documents Carey’s performance at the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics opening ceremony, where she combined Italian classic Volare with her own song Nothing Is Impossible. That track originally appeared on her 2025 studio album Here for It All, extending the album’s cycle into a high-profile global sports context.

How the Glitter campaign fits her catalog
Glitter originally arrived in 2001 alongside the film of the same name and struggled commercially, particularly in core markets such as the United States and Germany. With the 25th anniversary edition, Carey applies the reappraisal logic that already helped other albums in her catalog gain new attention in the streaming age.
The addition of vault material and alternate versions underscores how she now treats archival projects as a way to tell a fuller story. For collectors, the colored-vinyl concept also mirrors current industry practice: limited runs create scarcity without blocking standard editions for casual fans.
