Mariah Carey kept her comeback going Saturday, picking up best album and best single honors at the 20th Annual Soul Train Music Awards.
Carey, who won three Grammys last month, nabbed awards for best-female album with "The Emancipation of Mimi'' and best-female single with "We Belong Together.''
"This has been the biggest and most successful year of my life,'' said Carey, who returned last year after dominating the pop charts for much of the 1990s.
A year ago, Carey's career looked to be fading following a handful of debacles that included a contract buyout by Virgin Records. "You know that whatever doesn't kill you will make you stronger,'' she said.
The Soul Train Music Awards, started by the syndicated music show "Soul Train,'' celebrate artists in R&B, hip-hop and gospel music.
The 2006 honors, hosted by Vivica A. Fox and Tyrese Gibson, will air in syndication beginning March 11.
The awards are determined by a group of radio station professionals, talent managers and performers.
