The albums discography of American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey consists of twelve studio albums, six compilation albums, one compilation EP and one live album. In 1988 Carey began recording music for her debut album, Mariah Carey which was released in June 1990. The album was certified 9x Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), denoting shipments of over nine million copies in the United States and spawning four US number-one singles. By 1993, Carey achieved worldwide success and released her most successful studio album worldwide Music Box, which was certified Diamond in the United States.[1] Music Box was one of the best-selling albums of 1994 in Asia.[2]

In 1994 Carey released Merry Christmas, a holiday album, which has become one of the biggest selling Holiday albums of all time, as well as producing the worldwide classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You".[3][4][5] By 1995, Carey released her fifth studio album, Daydream, which became her most successful album in the United States, being certified Diamond by the RIAA, with worldwide sales of over 25 million copies.[6] Carey's sixth studio album Butterfly, released in 1997, introduced a more sexual image in the video from lead single "Honey". Butterfly and Carey's next release #1's (Carey's first compilation album) were both certified 5x Platinum in the US; the latter album remains the best-selling album in Japan by a non-asian artist, selling over 3,250,000 copies.[7] In 2001 Carey parted from Columbia/Sony Music and signed a contract with EMI's Virgin Records worth a reported US$80 million[8] and released her next studio album Glitter, which was the soundtrack album to the film of the same name. The album suffered from poor publicity and thus became a commercial failure, receiving only Platinum status in the United States and becoming her second lowest selling album to date.

Carey signed a new deal in 2002 with Island Records and released her ninth studio album Charmbracelet. The albums sales were an improvement over Glitter, still however falling short of Carey's standards. Carey took a three year break after Charmbracelet to record new material and introduced a hip-hop flavored album entitled The Emancipation of Mimi, which became the best-selling album of 2005 in the United States, and was a huge worldwide success, being certified 6x Platinum by the RIAA and selling over 10 million copies worldwide. The Emancipation of Mimi produced "the biggest song of the decade," We Belong Together, which topped the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for fourteen weeks, and became a large success across the globe. In 2008, Carey released her eleventh studio album E=MC², which was certified Platinum by the RIAA, and has sold over 2.5 million copies worldwide. It produced the chart-topping single "Touch My Body" which broke her tie with Elvis Presley for the most number one singles on the Hot 100. Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel, Carey's most recent release, became her least commercially successful album in her career, being certified Gold in the United States.

At the 2000 World Music Awards, Carey was presented with the Millennium Award for becoming the best-selling female artist of the 2000s.[9] She is also the recipient of the Chopard Diamond Award at the 2003 World Music Awards, recognizing sales of over 100 million albums worldwide.[10] According to the RIAA, she is the third best-selling female artist and sixteenth overall recording artist with shipments of over 63 million albums in the US.[11][12] She is also ranked as the best-selling female artist of the U.S Nielsen SoundScan era (third best-selling artist overall) with album sales of 52,600,000.[13] Carey is one of the best-selling music artists of all-time, with sales of over 175 million albums, singles and videos worldwide.[14][15][16][17][18]
