When Is Mariah Carey Night on DWTS?

Andy Richter revealed the upcoming season themes during the official DWTS podcast. The announced calendar places Yacht Rock Night in Week 3, Mariah Carey Night in Week 4, Dedication Night in Week 6, Horror Movie Night in Week 7, Disney Night in Week 8 and Grammy Night in Week 9. Week 5 remains unrevealed in the currently published season theme list.

What Is Still Unknown?
The theme is confirmed, but individual song assignments and dance styles should not be treated as official until ABC, the show or the official podcast confirms them.
Why Mariah Carey Night Could Be a Different Kind of DWTS Challenge
A single-artist theme gives the show a deep catalog to work with, but it also creates a creative constraint. The pros have to fit ballroom choreography to songs viewers already know intimately, making song choice almost as important as dance style.
