An American singer, songwriter, actress, record producer, as well as an entrepreneur, is named for Mariah Carey who is also referred to as "Songbird Supreme" by the Guinness World Records. She is noted for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, and signature use of the whistle register. She rose to fame in 1990 after signing to Columbia Records and releasing her eponymous debut album, which topped the U.S. Billboard 200 for eleven consecutive weeks. She became the only artist ever to have their first five singles reach number one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart, from "Vision of Love" to "Emotions". Moreover, she has won five Grammy Awards, nineteen World Music Awards, ten American Music Awards, and fifteen Billboard Music Awards. Some of her most successful singles are "Hero", "Without You", "All I Want for Christmas Is You", "Fantasy", "Always Be My Baby", as well as "One Sweet Day", which between 1996 and 2019 was the longest-running U.S. number-one single in history. Mariah Carey will fly out to Aspen, Colorado, by private jet on December 23 with her extended family. And she's never been known to make an entrance that isn't grand. In previous years, she's been photographed gingerly disembarking on to the icy runway in the fur coat, fishnets, and thigh-high stiletto boots as chauffeurs dutifully blast from their cars All I Want For Christmas Is You. Her entourage includes her ex-husband, actor and rapper Nick Cannon, their eight-year-old twins, Moroccan and Monroe, and other family and friends. The festive season will be spent in a $22 million (£17 million) five-bedroom mansion in a billionaires' ski resort, which Mariah rents for $10,000 (£7,500) a night. Nick Cannon and Mariah Carey have traded lyrical licks in the past week that technically started with an Eminem verse coming after Cannon and his ex-wife, Mariah Carey. Carey, presumably unbothered and thriving with a number three Christmas song on the Billboard charts, has not weighed into the controversy, but as the diss tracks continue, the argument between Cannon and Eminem is only heating up.
