Although her early 2000s tracks will always be cherished by us, a legacy has been created by Mariah mainly through her Christmas jingles, which are prominently featured in various places - particularly "All I Want For Christmas".

The most successful album to date is "Music Box", with a total of 75 singles, and 19 of them reaching the top of the charts.

Remarkably, the charts were graced by her presence for 82 consecutive weeks at one point.
