Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer. Referred to as the "Songbird Supreme" by 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. Soon after, Carey 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".

me, because I was making these fire songs that couldn’t have just any song come after it on the track list. It was definitely a challenging process, but I feel like I remained authentic.”The result is “777,” a 13-track triumph of versatility and confidence, complete with powerhouse features from 21 Savage, Lil Wayne, Childish Gambino, Lil Durk, Nardo Wick and Kodak Black.
The project stays true to Latto’s Atlanta roots while also presenting her as a player in the pop world, as her hit single “Big Energy” continues to climb the charts (it currently sits at No.
14 on the Billboard Hot 100). And, “Big Energy” just got a big boost with a remix featuring Mariah Carey, which released on Monday.
