Mariah Carey is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, and actress born on March 27, 1969. She is known for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, and use of the whistle register. Carey gained fame with her debut album, released in 1990, and became the only artist to have their first five singles reach number one in the United States, from "Vision of Love" to the title track of her second album Emotions (1991). Her albums Music Box (1993) and Daydream (1995) achieved international success. She later adopted a new image with hip hop influences, notably on the remix of "Fantasy" featuring Ol' Dirty Bastard, and on albums Butterfly (1997) and Rainbow (1999). Carey had eleven consecutive years of US number-one singles and was named Billboard Artist of the Decade. After a period of career decline, she experienced a resurgence with The Emancipation of Mimi (2005), her 21st-century bestseller. Her life and career have been widely covered in the media.
