Mariah Carey - The Queen of Christmas

Mariah is legend in her own time - with selling over 200 million albums worldwide, scoring the top spot with nineteen of her songs topping the Billboard Hot 100, and holding the record for the most number-one singles by a solo artist, a female songwriter, and a female producer!

Her list of Grammy Awards, American Music Awards, Billboard Music Awards and more could fill pages. But sales and honours are merely the results - the bottom line is talent. Mariah does not ride off in a silver coach. Instead, she continues to work hard.

Mariah Carey holds the record for the most number-one singles by a solo artist, a female songwriter, and a female producer.

According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), she is the highest-certified female artist in the United States, with 68.5 million certified album units tying with Barbra Streisand.

In 2019, Billboard named her the all-time top female artist in the United States, based on both album and song chart performances.

Mariah's song "All I Want for Christmas Is You", as well as her 1994 album Merry Christmas, have timeless quality and become such widespread part of wider popular culture that Carey has been dubbed the "Queen of Christmas". The success of the song, in particular, has led Carey to build what Billboard described as a "growing holiday mini-empire".
