Mariah info I found listed by a fan:
Biggest-selling female artist in recording history. Biggest-selling artist of the 1990s. Female Artist of the Millennium (World Music Awards) Artist of the Decade (Billboard Music Awards) Only artist to have a No. 1 single every year of the 1990s. Longest-running single at No. 1 in history ("One Sweet Day", 16 weeks). Most cumulative weeks having a No. 1 single (61) for any living artist—second only to Elvis Presley (80). Most No. 1 singles for any female artist (15). The artist with the most singles to debut at Number 1 in chart history First artist to have his or her first five singles go to No. 1. ("Vision of Love","Love Takes Time","Someday","I Don't Wanna Cry" and "Emotions"). Later achieved another 5 consecutive No. 1 Singles ("Fantasy","One Sweet Day","Always Be My Baby", "Honey", and "My All") Only artist to have two consecutive No. 1 debuts on the singles chart. Only artist with three No. 1 debuts on the singles chart. (First female to have a single debut at the top) The only artist to have 2 consecutive singles sell over 2 million in the US RIAA achievments: Albums, 74 certifications (as of April 2005); singles, 33 certications (as of April 2005); total: 108 certifications. RIAA Certifications: Album (14 gold, 14 platinum, 9 multi-platinum, 2 Diamond Awards); singles (22 gold, 10 platinum, 2 mutli-platinum). Most platinum singles by a female artist (10). 5 No. 1 albums (3 debuts at No. 1) tied with Madonna and Janet Jackson, behind Barbra Streisand, with 8 No. 1 albums. Only female artist to have 9 consecutive albums RIAA- certified for at least 3 million copies sold. One of 3 artists (and the only female) to receive the American Music award for Special Achievement. The biggest selling artist of all time Sales: U.S. albums, 60. million; singles, 24 million (as of April 2005) I've seen claims of 160 million sales worldwide. Reliable sales statistics seem hard to find, but I do find it believable that she'd have sold more than Whitney and Celine. I'm not sure I'd believe her beating Elvis and the Beatles since they're such legends.
