Mariah Carey: superstar announces 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' shows in London, Nottingham and Leeds this December

19 World Music Awards; five Grammy Awards; over 200 million albums sold; and second only to The Beatles in number of US number one hits – few artists in the history of pop music can claim to match the musical highs and sustained success of Mariah Carey. 

Bursting onto the scene in 1990 with her self-titled debut album, Mariah was the decade's best-selling recording artist by the end of the 1990s and subsequently named the best-selling female artist of the millennium in 2000. Propelled by self-penned tracks such as "Always Be My Baby", "Fantasy", "Hero" and "We Belong Together" Mariah Carey, Music Box, Daydream and The Emancipation of Mimi all rank among music's top 100 best-selling albums and have helped Carey become one of the top 10 selling artists of all time. 

Throughout her 25-year career, Mariah has seldom visited our shores; but after a successful run of shows in 2017 (only her second visit to the UK for 13 years) she has delighted British fans by announcing that she will be performing her 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' tour on our side of the Atlantic this winter. 

"Prepare to get festive, Lambs! My 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' tour is coming to Europe this December!" she wrote on Twitter, confirming that she will perform her Xmas concert at the Motorpoint Arena on 9 December, Leeds Arena the following night, and London’s O2 Arena on 11 December. Mariah has played live Christmas shows in the USA in the past, but this is only the second time she’s brought them to the UK; so make sure you don't miss your chance to catch these special events – grab Mariah Carey tickets at StubHub now.

Mariah Carey: songbird supreme returns to light up Christmas

We know we´ve not even had a summer yet, but we have to talk about Christmas. 

"All I Want For Christmas Is You" was the lead single from Mariah Carey's festive album Merry Christmas in 1994. The song missed out on a UK number one that year when it was pipped to the post by East 17’s "Stay Another Day", but it has since become a staple song during the holiday period. 

The album has sold over 14 million copies worldwide, and the title single is Mariah's biggest international success (selling over 16 million copies). It is the 11th best-selling single of all time, and is reported to have earned over $50 million in royalties.

With the 'All I Want For Christmas Is You' concerts just two weeks before the big day, there's no better way to get into the festive spirit this year. Grab your Mariah Carey tickets at StubHub today.
