About Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey launched her recording career with her self-titled debut album, Mariah Carey, in 1990. The New York-born singer, songwriter and producer quickly became one of the defining voices of contemporary pop and R&B, later incorporating elements of hip-hop into albums including Butterfly. Her catalogue includes ‘Vision of Love’, ‘Hero’, ‘Fantasy’, ‘Always Be My Baby’, ‘We Belong Together’ and ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’.

Across her career, Carey has earned five Grammy Awards and achieved 19 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. She was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2022, recognising a songwriting career that has accompanied her distinctive vocal performances for more than three decades.

Christmas has also become an important part of Carey’s live career. Originally released on her 1994 album Merry Christmas, ‘All I Want For Christmas Is You’ has become one of the defining songs of the festive season. The track reached number one in the UK for the first time in 2020 and has continued to return to the upper end of the UK charts each Christmas.

Her 2026 Birmingham, London and Manchester concerts continue a series of Christmas performances around the world, giving you another opportunity to experience her festive repertoire alongside some of the biggest songs from her wider career.
