At the top of the year, Mariah Carey was in a longstanding tie with music icon Barbra Streisand for the title of best-selling female album seller in the United States.

As if breaking the tie on her birthday (March 27) wasn’t enough to celebrate, the rest of the year would see the 53-year-old enjoy buoyed digital attention to her timeless catalog – a feat that led the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) to update the figures attached to some of her biggest hits.

The result?  She not only extends her album-selling record among females in the U.S. but also gets bumped up the all-time best-selling digital artists’ list as well.

During his dynamite set, the superstar electrified with back-to-back hits – such as ‘Confessions,’ ‘You Make Me Wanna,’ and ‘Burn.’ All the while, the adoring audience sang full volume alongside the 43-year-old.
