Mariah Carey Performer and songwriter Mariah Carey is a mega-platinum award-winning superstar who has been setting and breaking industry records since her career began with five consecutive multi-week #1 Pop/#1 R&B singles in 1990-91. Her total sales of albums, singles and videos to date exceeds 160 million worldwide. Mariah's 10th studio album, 2005's The Emancipation Of Mimi, is an industry phenomenon - Soundscan's biggest-selling album of the year, with more than 9 million copies sold worldwide. The album generated an all-time career-high of 8 Grammy nominations for Mariah, and won Best Contemporary R&B Album, with "We Belong Together" winning Best Female R&B Vocal Performance and Best R&B Song.

Countless additional awards came Mariah's way during 2005-2006 as a result of Mimi's success, among them six BMI Awards; the American Music Award; four VIBE Awards; and a sweep of the Billboard Music Awards and the Radio Music Awards. "We Belong Together" and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively, tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's. "Touch My Body" Put her past the King.

Her last effort e=mc2 Brought us her latest Number one song and topped the charts in 2008
The album was released on April 16, 2008 in the United States. It debuted at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard 200 with 463,000 copies sold, making it the biggest opening week in sales of her career. It became Carey's sixth number 1 album on the Billboard 200. The first single from the album, "Touch My Body", reached number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, Other singles include the U.S. top twenty song "Bye Bye", and U.S. R&B top forty song "I'll Be Lovin' U Long Time", as well as the number one dance hit "I Stay in Love". To date, the album has sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide.

Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 48 years of the Hot 100 with the potential to match or surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits. With 80 total career weeks of #1 hits, Mariah also ranks Number One all-time high in weeks. Mariah is, quite simply, the top female recording artist in history.
