Throughout her long, accomplished career, Carey has established herself as one of the most successful artists in music history. She’s dominated the world of music with five Grammy Awards, fourteen Billboard Music Awards and nineteen World Music Awards. Not to mention, her first eleven albums went either platinum or diamond. Simply put, she’s an icon and nothing short of legendary. To celebrate her status within the world of music, Jennifer Hudson presented the Pop star with the Icon Award at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.
