Singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer Mariah Carey has received five Grammy Awards and thirty-three nominations. Uniquely melding R&B, soul, gospel, and hip hop influences, Mariah Carey has recorded the most US number one singles for a solo artist (18, surpassing Elvis Presley), and is in second place among artists with the most singles in the rock era. Mariah Carey has been recognized as Billboard's "Artist of the Decade," and the "Best-Selling Female Pop Artist of the Millennium" at the 2000 World Music Awards. Mariah Carey's five-octave voice was voted "Greatest in Music" (MTV 2003) and Number One on the "22 Greatest Voices in Music" (Blender Magazine).

Mariah Carey's "The Emancipation Of Mimi," released April 12, 2005, was an industry phenomenon for the mega-platinum award-winning superstar—Soundscan's biggest-selling album of the year, bringing total sales of Mariah Carey's albums, singles and videos to more than 160 million worldwide, making her the most successful female recording artist in history. "The Emancipation of Mimi" won 3 Grammys, including Best Contemporary R&B Album. Selling over 10 million copies, it generated two #1 singles and countless more industry honors during its 18-month stay on the charts.

"The Emancipation of Mimi" featured "We Belong Together" (winner of the Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song Grammys) and "Don't Forget About Us," Mariah Carey's 16th and 17th #1 career singles respectively. They tied one of the most enduring chart records in Billboard Hot 100 history, Elvis Presley's 17 #1's. Mariah Carey is now positioned as the only active recording artist in the 48 years of the Hot 100 (which began in 1958) with the potential to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 #1 hits.

Mariah Carey's 11th studio album, "E=MC²," released in 2008, debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, and remained there for two consecutive weeks. The first single from "E=MC2" is "Touch My Body," written and produced by Mariah Carey, and is already over 80 million in audience at radio since its February 2008 release and has already been touted by Entertainment Weekly in their "Must List" as "a deliciously sexy pop single." Feature filmmaker Brett Ratner directed the video for "Touch My Body" which features "30 Rock" star Jack McBrayer.

Mariah Carey's 12th studio album is "Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel."

Mariah Carey began her acting career with a small role in the 1999 romantic comedy "The Bachelor" and followed with the lead in the semi-autobiographical "Glitter," with Terrence Howard. Mariah Carey received rave reviews for her performance in the independent film "Wisegirls," which premiered at the 2002 Sundance Film Festival. Mariah Carey previously teamed with producer/director Lee Daniels for the film "Tennessee," which premiered at the 2008 Tribeca Film Festival.

Mariah Carey stars in the movie "Precious" (2009) as Ms. Weiss.
