How many No. 1 songs has Mariah Carey had on the Billboard Hot 100?
Most artists spend their entire careers chasing a single number-one hit. Mariah Carey had five before she knew what missing the top spot even felt like. Her first five singles all reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, and she was just getting started. How many number-one songs does Mariah Carey have?
▼
Correct Answer: 19
(Source)You've heard "All I Want for Christmas Is You" approximately ten thousand times, but it only hit number one on the Hot 100 for the first time in 2019, 25 years after it was released. It became her 19th chart-topper, putting her just one behind The Beatles for the all-time record. Even more impressive, she wrote or co-wrote 18 of those hits (the only exception being "I'll Be There," a Jackson 5 cover). She's also the only artist to top the chart in four separate decades, and if "All I Want for Christmas Is You" keeps making yearly victory laps, she'll probably extend that record to five decades.
