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".
Mariah Carey sued for £16million for ‘stealing iconic Christmas song from co-writer’
thesun.co.ukSINGER Mariah Carey is being sued for £16million for allegedly pinching the song All I Want For Christmas Is You. Andy Stone claims he co-wrote it in 1989 and never gave permission for it to be used.
It was released by Carey in 1994 as part of her album Merry Christmas — which became the best-selling US festive record of all time, selling more than 15million copies worldwide.
Carey and her co-writer are named in legal papers filed in Louisiana. They state Carey and her collaborators “knowingly, wilfully, and intentionally engaged in a campaign” to infringe Stone’s copyright. .css-16e4f55{margin:16px 0;}.css-u6yh49{background-color:rgba(246,242,249,1);margin:16px 0;}.css-1tapza8{padding:20px 15px;}.css-1bk4jdt{padding:20px.
