It went on to sell six million copies in the United States, and 10 million worldwide. Carey bagged 10 Grammy nominations for the same.
“In terms of having huge hits, [The Emancipation of Mimi] definitely was a very successful album, so people were like, ‘It’s a comeback album,’” the artist told Billboard in 2020.
“For me, it was like a coming together of a lot of things with that album more than a comeback album. But they can call it that if they want to,” she added.

“It was a sense of feeling triumphant when it was as successful as it was. I know a lot of people were introduced to me from that album, as well. So I would just love for people to take away the music from that album. I hope that it makes people feel good. That’s the goal.”
