She's one of the top-selling recording artists of ALL TIME -- so, why hasn't Mariah Carey performed a Super Bowl halftime show?
It's not that she's opposed to the idea ...
In fact, when we saw Mariah leaving Craig's in L.A. on Sunday night, she told us -- "I would love to!"
Mariah has performed AT the Super Bowl before -- just not during the halftime show. She did the National Anthem at the Super Bowl in 2002 -- a performance Rolling Stone ranked as one of the most memorable of all time.
