Mariah Carey

The sky's the limit for performer and songwriter Mariah Carey - who has become the first artist to break the 200 million one-week BDS Hot 100 audience barrier with "We Belong Together" (with 202.1 million listens), breaking her own BDS Hot 100 audience record (of 192.3 million, two weeks ago), it was announced today by Antonio "L.A." Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group.

"We Belong Together," shattered yet another record as the single gathered the largest one-day audience total ever in BDS history yesterday - 32.8 million. At the same time, Mariah's still-new Island Def Jam album, THE EMANCIPATION OF MIMI, certified RIAA double-platinum, stays in the top 5 for a 12th consecutive week (#5 up to #4 bullet), after peaking at #1 twice, in April and again in June.

Mariah, who lit up the MTV Movie Awards recently, performed in London's Hyde Park on July 2nd as part of the lineup of "Live 8: The Long Walk To Justice."

Two nights later, back in the USA, Mariah headlines NBC television's "Macy's Fourth of July Fireworks® Spectacular," the country's largest Fourth of July fireworks extravaganza, beginning at 9:00 p.m. ET. For the first time ever, the annual one-hour special will feature just one musical performer, as Mariah celebrates the nation's 229th birthday. Her half-hour set will include "We Belong Together," "America The Beautiful," "Shake It Off," and some surprises!
