About 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 and most recent 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

"We Belong Together" and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah's 16th and 17th #1

Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's. 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 76

all-time high 79 weeks. Mariah is, quite simply, the top female recording artist
in history.
