he Charmbracelet World Tour 2003/2004 was Mariah's biggest world tour ever. With over 70 concerts, she gave her fans in Asia, North America, Europe and the Middle East a night to remember.
It all started with an announcement of a big 25-city North America arena tour, which was later downsized to smaller theatres. In Europe and Asia, the dates at big stadiums and arenas stayed as scheduled.
For the first time ever, Mariah visited countries like Russia, the Philippines, Thailand, China and Dubai.
The Charmbracelet Tour was not just another tour in Mariah's career. It helped her regain the status of being "The Voice", which also had a big effect to the 2005 mega-seller "The Emancipation of Mimi".
