Mariah to be named BMI Icon at annual BMI Urban Awards
Mariah Carey will be honored as a BMI Icon at the BMI Urban Awards, scheduled for Friday,
September 7 at the Saban Theatre in Beverly Hills. Carey will join a group that includes
the Jacksons, Snoop Dogg, George Clinton, James Brown, Isaac Hayes, Little Richard, Al Green,
the Bee Gees, Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton - selected because of their "unique and
indelible influence on generations of music makers".
Over the years, Carey has co-written most of her biggest hits, a long list that includes
30 BMI Urban and Pop Award-winning songs such as "Always Be My Baby", "Hero", "Fantasy",
"Vision of Love", "Emotions", "Shake It Off", "We Belong Together", "One Sweet Day", "I
Don't Wanna Cry", "Dreamlover" and "All I Want for Christmas is You". A whopping 17 of
her songs have amassed more than 1 million performances each, including "Always Be My Baby",
"Dreamlover" and "Hero", which have each earned more than 3 million performances.
Carey has scored more No. 1 singles than any other solo artist in history - and is second
only to the Beatles in the all-time list - and holds the record for the female songwriter
with the most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles in the rock era, totaling 18.
On March 1, just 10 months after giving birth to twins Moroccan and Monroe, a soulful and
slender Carey returned to the stage with a 40-minute set at New York's Gotham Hall that
included "Always Be My Baby", "We Belong Together", "I'll Be There" and "Obsessed". She
released The Essential Mariah Carey on May 8 and is currently in the studio, writing and
recording her next album for Island Def Jam. She is also rumored to be in "serious talks"
to become a judge on "American Idol".
