Mariah Carey February 24, 2010

Mariah Carey is one of the most popular singers in pop music today. She has had hits with songs like 'Vision of Love,' 'Someday,' 'One Sweet Day,' 'Heartbreaker,' 'Fantasy' and 'We Belong Together.' 'Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel,' Mariah Carey's 12th studio album, follows her multi-platinum 'E=MC(2),' and her worldwide 10 million selling 'The Emancipation Of Mimi.' 'The Emancipation Of Mimi' generated three Grammy awards (including Best Contemp-orary R&B Album), two #1 singles, and countless more honors during its 18-month chart stay. Soundscan's biggest-selling album of 2005, Mimi featured "We Belong Together' (Grammy winner for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song) and 'Don't Forget About Us,' Mariah's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. Three years later, 'Touch My Body' became her 18th #1 Hot 100 hit, surpassing Elvis Presley's previous record of 17 #1 Hot 100 Hits. Mariah is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 50 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits. The success of 'E=MC(2)' brought total sales of Mariah's albums, singles and videos to more than 175 million worldwide, distancing her even further from the pack as the top-selling female recording artist in history.
