History

This was Carey's first tour since her 2000 Rainbow Tour. Overall it was Carey's fifth tour and her most extensive, lasting for sixty-one shows over eight months. Carey's previous tours had been restricted to a few European countries and the United States, usually consisting of around fifteen shows. The Charmbracelet World Tour, on the other hand, was truly a world tour, playing many places in East Asia, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East.
The tour was seen as an attempt to bolster Carey's declining commercial fortunes on the heels of her ''Glitter'' and ''Charmbracelet'' disappointments.^[1] Initial ticket sales in North America were somewhat slack and tour venues there were downsized from arenas to theaters, although Carey's management said they just wanted a more intimate setting.^[2] Carey's appeal was stronger overseas and many of those dates were played in arenas or even stadiums.
The long-running length of the tour had actually not been planned. After the initial stretch of the tour, Carey decided to add additional dates. For the new dates, she performed a more condensed show, cutting off several songs from the setlist and performing new songs in their place with Christmas elements during seasonal periods.
Carey's sexual image also generated some controversy during the tour. In various countries, she was often criticised for her choice of dress, and a Pan-Islamic youth leader attempted to have her banned from performing in Malaysia.^[3]
According to ''Pollstar'', the tour grossed $65.6 million overseas, but in the U.S., just $15.1 million. In the end, only 10 of 28 North American dates sold out, and at least a couple were only half full or less.^[4] Lowest attendance was at St. Louis' Fox Theatre, where only 1,841 of a possible 4,278 seats were sold.^[5]
The tour of some Asian countries were either rescheduled or canceled due to a respiratory disease known as Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome. The tour in Singapore was canceled, and the tour in Korea was rescheduled.

Set list

Carey's website asked fans to design and submit set lists for the show, though the songs Carey ended up performing differed from their preferences. A second poll was then introduced asking fans to vote for one of three songs: "Can't Take That Away (Mariah's Theme)" won for almost every night of the tour, "One Sweet Day" won a few times, and "Love Takes Time" never won.
