US singer-songwriter Mariah Carey will launch her The Celebration of Mimi tour overseas in Shanghai on May 16 and 17 at Hongkou Football Stadium, after a decade-long hiatus.

This global superstar, known for her 19 Billboard chart-topping singles, left a lasting impression on fans with her emotional rendition of We Belong Together at the 2014 Shanghai concert. Now, she is fulfilling her promise to return.

Carey, a legendary singer with over 200 million global record sales, is one of the best-selling female artists in history. Her accolades include five Grammy Awards, 10 American Music Awards, and 20 Billboard Music Awards.

Her album Music Box sold over 32 million copies worldwide, while her chart-topping single Dreamlover held the top spot on the Billboard chart for eight weeks.

Renowned for her wide vocal range spanning five octaves, Carey's iconic whistle note has helped produce numerous classics. From the magnificent key changes in Emotions to the soul-stirring high notes in Vision of Love, her ability to improvise and change keys adds a unique touch to each performance.

Aside from her angelic voice, Carey's heartfelt compositions have touched the hearts of millions worldwide. Her inspirational anthem Hero has provided solace to countless individuals.
