Worldwide Singles Sales
Worldwide Singles Sales
Now that we’ve entered the era of digital music and streaming, traditional singles have become a thing of the past. Instead of focusing on physical releases, record labels now certify every eligible song in an artist’s catalog, reflecting the modern way music is consumed. This shift has significantly impacted Mariah Carey singles sales, as her catalog continues to generate streams and downloads globally.
To present a comprehensive analysis, we have examined every song, considering worldwide physical sales (where available), digital downloads, and streaming data from the most widely used platforms. Our approach ensures that Mariah Carey singles sales are accurately represented across all formats.
For consistency, we have applied the standardized accounting rules here.
