MANILA, Philippines — In a recent announcement, the best-selling female artist of all time, Mariah Carey is bringing THE CELEBRATION OF MIMI tour to Manila this October 14, 2025 at the SM Mall of Asia Arena, presented by Wilbros Live.
To the world, Carey is an author, entrepreneur, philanthropist, producer and multiple award-winning artist and songwriter. She has since sold more than 200 million albums to-date and 19 Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles (18 of which are self-penned)—more than any solo artist in history. With her distinct five-octave vocal range, prolific songwriting, and producing talent, Carey is truly the template of the modern pop performance.
She then became an inductee to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, and has been recognized with multiple Grammy Awards, numerous American Music Awards, three Guinness World Record titles, both Billboard’s “Artist of the Decade” and “Icon” awards, the World Music Award for “World’s Best Selling Female Artist of the Millennium,” the Ivor Novello Award for “PRS for Music Special International Award,” and BMI’s “Icon Award” for her outstanding achievements in songwriting, to name a few.
Carey’s cultural impact has transcended the music industry, leaving an indelible imprint upon the world at large. In 2009, she was recognized with the Breakthrough Performance Award at the Palm Spring International Film Festival for her critically acclaimed role in Lee Daniels’ Precious. A Congressional Award recipient, she has donated her time and energy to a range of philanthropic causes near to her heart including Save the Music, the Make-A-Wish Foundation, World Hunger Relief, and the Elton John AIDS Foundation, among many others.
A tremendous supporter of children’s charities, both domestic and international, Carey founded Camp Mariah in partnership with the Fresh Air Fund, a retreat for inner city children to explore career development. In 2020, her riveting memoir The Meaning of Mariah Carey was recognized as a New York Times #1 bestseller upon release.
