Carey's "Emancipation" best album of year

Here are the albums that helped wear out the iPod battery of AP Music Writer Nekesa Mumbi Moody in 2005.

1. "The Emancipation of Mimi", Mariah Carey: It's time for all the critics who declared Carey's career all but dead to eat some humble pie - so give me the first helping. Carey - who's biggest successes in her post-"Glitter" career had been crooning out breathy hooks on rap records - produced perhaps the best album of her 16-year career with "Mimi", an uncompromising, classic R&B album. Though it had several high-profile cameos from the likes of Snoop Dogg and Nelly, the most riveting components of "Mimi" were its stellar songwriting and Carey's luscious voice.
