This is huge. The best selling female artist of all time, Mariah Carey, is returning to our shores for ‘The Elusive Chanteuse Show’ – her first national tour since 1998.

The quintessential R&B diva was killing it back in 1998, already holding collaborations with Puff Daddy, Ol’ Dirty Bastard and Boyz II Men under her belt. Come 2014, she’s proven her longevity with a Number. 1 album in ‘Me. I am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse’ – an impressive listen which also holds the award for the best titled album of all time.

Also, can we take a minute to sit back and reflect on the fact that Carey has an entire compilation album of Number. 1 hits? Do you know how fucked up that is? Also, she collaborated with Gucci Mane, so she automatically gets seven gold stars from us. If you don’t have a crush on Mariah Carey, you’re doing it wrong. Dates below, while you can head over to Live Nation for all the ticketing details:
