About Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is the best-selling female artist of all time with more than 200 million albums sold to date and 19 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles (18 self-penned), more than any solo artist in history. Her memoir, “The Meaning of Mariah Carey,” debuted at No. 1 on the New York Times Best Seller list. A two-time Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame nominee and an inductee to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, Carey is a multi-hyphenate singer, songwriter, and producer who has been recognized with five Grammy Awards (and 34 nominations), ten American Music Awards (and 39 nominations), three Guinness World Record titles, Billboard’s “Artist of the Decade” Award, Billboard’s “Icon Award,” the World Music Award for “World’s Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium,” the Ivor Novello Award for “PRS for Music Special International Award,” and BMI’s “Icon Award” for her outstanding achievements in songwriting, to name a few. As the globally recognized “Queen Of Christmas,” Carey’s beloved 1994 yuletide hit “All I Want For Christmas Is You” has become one of the longest-charting singles in any genre, spending 65 weeks on Billboard’s Hot 100. Just this year, Carey was honored with the VMAs coveted Video Vanguard Award and the BET Ultimate Icon Award. In 2026, she continued her award streak by being honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year. In 2015, she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and in 2023, Carey became one of the first 13 recipients of the BRIT Billion Award for surpassing one billion streams in the United Kingdom.

In 2025, Mariah dropped her highly anticipated 16th studio album Here For It All, her first in 7 years, which debuted in the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 200 chart. The album was met with instant praise, maintaining her 35-year streak of landing her new projects in the Billboard 200’s top 10. Here For It All took the No. 1 spot on Billboard for Top Album Sales, Top Current Album Sales, Top R&B Albums and Independent Albums, who called the album “eclectic, free-wheeling” and “Carey’s ultimate love letter to herself.” Pitchfork described the album as “a no-makeup sound for a persona devoted to glamour,” with each track “bringing a tear-stained realness to her vulnerable lyrics.” The Fader stated “On Here For It All, Mariah Carey exposes her soft side,” describing the album as “an R&B fusion record with a strong gospel backbone that sees a rare, vulnerable Mimi taking stock of how far she’s come.” In October, Mariah celebrated 25 years of her fan-favorite album, Glitter by releasing an expanded digital deluxe edition featuring 15 additional tracks, including rare and previously unreleased recordings.
