Several singles were released but attained weak charting positions. "Loverboy" served as the lead single from the album and quickly became Carey's lowest-charting lead single globally. As the song stalled on the American charts, Virgin dropped its price to spur sales, which helped the single peak at number two on the US "Billboard" Hot 100; internationally, the song failed to garner much traction. Subsequent singles failed to make much of an impact on prominent global charts, with some not charting at all. Nearly two decades after its release, "Glitter" began to attract wide praise from mainstream critics and has developed a cult following.
