That is not true. That album barely went gold in the US, and as it was dropping off the US Top 200, it managed platinum. It did not sell an additional 4 million copies worldwide.
Mariah sold over 150 albums in 2003
According to MARIAH'S OFFICIAL WEBSITE in the news --> Awards section HERE in the 2003 Career Awards, it says: World Music Awards - The Diamond Award in honor of over 150 million ALBUMS sales worldwide!!!!
So Mariah didn't sell 144 million albums today, She sold over 170 million albums.

CHANGE:According to the RIAA, she is the highest-certified female artist (tying with Barbra Streisand) and thirteenth overall recording artist with shipments of 68.5 million albums in the US.[6]
Not done. The current ref has both at 68.5 million. I'm not sure why yours says something different; perhaps it's the "Type" column. ◢ Ganbaruby! (Say hi!) 08:22, 14 April 2021 (UTC)

Actually, this is mildly puzzling, and I don't understand the RIAA site. It says 66.5 million on the "awards by artist" tab, and 68.5 million on the "top tallies" tab (which was the previous source), and the extra 2 million would make her tie with Barbra Streisand. Given other sources seem to quote 66.5 million, e.g. [1][2], etc., it's probably correct so I'll stick with it, but I'm not sure what's going on here. ‑‑Volteer1 (talk) 17:33, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Not done. Your citation does not say 25 million, and in any case the sales figure was described as 20 million in 2015.[3] It would be surprising indeed if a 1995 album sold an additional 5 million copies between 2015 and 2023. Buyers are far more interested in recent works. Binksternet (talk) 03:37, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
