MARIAH CAREY TO EMBARK ON INTERNATIONAL CONCERT JAUNT
ARTIST'S FIRST TOUR IN 8 YEARS TO ARRIVE IN U.S. ON MARCH 16
International music superstar Mariah Carey will embark
on her first world concert tour in eight years, on Saturday, February 14
in Antwerp, Belgium. Mariah's Rainbow Tour - One Night Only! will
include performances in five European countries, the United Kingdom and
the Far East, before hitting U.S. shores on Thursday, March 16, when she
performs in Los Angeles, California at the Staples Center arena. Mariah
enters the new millennium having sold more than 128 million records worldwide
and established herself as the most popular female artist of the nineties.
She closed the last decade with the release of her ninth album, Rainbow,
which has already been certified triple-platinum and spawned the hit singles
"Heartbreaker" and "Thank God I Found You." The release of Heartbreaker
made music history when it became Mariah's 14th #1 single on the Billboard
Hot 100 Singles chart, a feat rivaled only by the Beatles (20) and Elvis
Presley (17). When Heartbreaker entered its second week at #1, it
marked the 60th week Mariah has been in the top spot on the charts, breaking
the long-standing 59-week record established by the Beatles. Mariah's
Rainbow Tour - One Night Only! will feature many of the hits which practically
defined the musical soundtrack of the past decade -- from 1990's "Vision
Of Love" through 1999's "Thank God I Found You," and countless hits in
between - and earned the artist countless accolades, including 2 Grammy
Awards, 8 American Music Awards, 7 World Music Awards and 4 Soul Train
Awards. She was named Artist Of The Decade by Billboard Magazine during
the music industry bible's annual televised awards show in December, and,
just yesterday, Mariah was honored with the American Music Award Of Achievement
-- only the third such award to be given out during that show's 27-year
history.
