Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1970) is an American R&B and pop singer, songwriter, record producer and occasional actress of the 1990s and 2000s. Making her debut in 1990, she became the most successful and best-selling artist of the coming decade according to Billboard magazine and the World Music Awards. In 2000, the World Music Awards show named her the best-selling female recording artist of all time, but she has fewer critical accomplishments than commercial.

Possessing a five-octave vocal range, Carey has been noted for her frequent use of melisma in her singing style and her capabilities in the whistle register. She released fifteen U.S. number-one hits while signed to Columbia Records, formerly run by then-husband Tommy Mottola, and several of them broke chart records. By the turn of the millennium Carey's popularity with critics and the public had entered decline, and she was dropped from her new record label following a highly-publicised physical breakdown and an unsuccessful foray into film. In 2005, Carey returned to the forefront of popular music with the success of her ninth studio album, and became the second solo recording artist in history to place seventeen singles at number one on the U.S. charts and the first artist to receive sixteen World Music Awards.
