Mariah the Scientist Embarks on Global 2026 Tour Amid Chart-Topping Success

Rising R&B Star Takes Centre Stage

Atlanta-based R&B singer-songwriter Mariah the Scientist has emerged as one of 2025’s most successful artists, with her highly anticipated 2026 HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY TOUR kicking off in Paris on January 12. The tour represents a significant milestone for the artist, who has rapidly ascended from SoundCloud releases to become a chart-topping force in contemporary R&B.

Chart Success and Critical Acclaim

Mariah The Scientist’s 2025 single ‘Burning Blue’ has accounted for one of the biggest R&B hits of the year, earning her commercial recognition and Gold certification. HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY debuted at no. 1 on the Billboard Top R&B Albums chart and no. 11 on the Billboard 200 during the first week of release — the highest debut on either chart throughout her career. The album features collaborations with Kali Uchis on the hit single ‘Is It a Crime?’

The Global Tour Experience

The 36-city international tour kicks off Jan. 12, 2026, in Paris at Salle Pleyel, with Mariah The Scientist visiting Manchester, London, Miami Beach, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, Toronto, Chicago and more. Following her sold-out 2024 To Be Eaten Alive Tour, this ambitious venture showcases her growing international appeal and ability to command major venues across Europe and North America.

Building on Previous Success

Mariah the Scientist continues to establish herself as a leading voice in R&B with the success of her latest album and tour. Despite her recent album, HEARTS SOLD SEPARATELY, and hit single, ‘Burning Blue,’ being left out of all 2026 Grammy Award categories, the artist remains focused on her fans and live performances, maintaining a positive outlook as she delivers her signature blend of vulnerable songwriting and soulful melodies to audiences worldwide.
