Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey is an author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, producer, and multiple award-winning artist and songwriter. She is the best-selling female artist of all time, with more than 200 million albums sold worldwide and 19 Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles (18 of which are self-penned)—more than any solo artist in history. With her five-octave vocal range and prolific songwriting and producing career, Carey is widely regarded as the blueprint for the modern pop performer. Her honors include induction into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, multiple Grammy Awards, Billboard’s “Artist of the Decade” and “Icon” awards, and numerous global industry distinctions.

In 2025, Mariah delivered a landmark release with her 16th studio album, Here For It All, featuring collaborations with Anderson .Paak, Kehlani, Shenseea, and the Clark Sisters. The album was preceded by “Type Dangerous” and “Sugar Sweet,” with “Type Dangerous” marking her 50th entry on the Billboard Hot 100. Here For It All debuted within the top 20 across several global markets, became her 19th top-ten album on the Billboard 200, and debuted at #1 on the Billboard Top Album Sales chart.

Alongside the album’s release, Carey broke records with her Here For It All Holiday Special livestream, setting an all-time TikTok Live viewership record. The announcement clip alone generated 65 million views—the highest ever recorded on the platform for an announcement.

Carey’s impact extends beyond music into film, literature, and philanthropy. She received the Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival for her role in Precious and is a New York Times #1 bestselling author for The Meaning of Mariah Carey. A longtime advocate for children’s and global relief causes, she founded Camp Mariah in partnership with The Fresh Air Fund.

So far in 2026, Mariah Carey was honored as MusiCares Person of the Year, recognizing her legendary career and philanthropy, and performed at the opening ceremony of the 2026 Milan Cortina Winter Olympic Games—continuing a career defined by longevity, reinvention, and cultural impact.
