MARIAH CAREY JOINS AN INCREDIBLE LIST OF MUSICAL ARTISTS ON 'THE WONDERFUL WORLD OF DISNEY: MAGICAL HOLIDAY CELEBRATION' AND 'THE DISNEY PARKS' MAGICAL CHRISTMAS CELEBRATION'

Global superstar Mariah Carey joins the holiday event of the season, as Disney and ABC celebrate the most wonderful time of year.

The bestselling female artist of all time, with more than 220 million records sold and eighteen #1 singles - the most for any solo artist in history - Mariah Carey is a luminous and enduring talent who has enthralled audiences for a quarter-century. Known for her distinct five-octave vocal range, she is equally distinguished as a songwriter, penning all but one of her #1 singles, including "Fantasy," "Always Be My Baby," "Hero," "Touch My Body," "One Sweet Day" and "We Belong Together," more than any other solo artist.
