Mariah Carey passes Elvis Presley for the most number one singles

Since I was a little girl I have always been a huge fan of Mariah Carey!  It dates all the way back to her first album, one sweet day.  Yesterday as I watching watching a special on Mariah Carey on E! Mariah Carey has passed Elvis Presley for the most number one singles.  I knew Mariah Carey had the talent and the vocal chords, but damm Elvis Presley.  18th on the chart-topper “Touch My Body,” has passed for the most number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and second to the beatles.  Carey said, “I really can never put myself in the category of people who have not only revolutionized music but also changed the world.”  Her new single is the number one single on Billboard’s Hott 100 singles chart, and the number one song on the trade magazines digital download chart.  She has tied with Elves with seventeen number one singles, while the Beatles are the all-time leaders with twenty.  Carey said this was so gratifying not only because of her personal success, but what this meant to minorities and women.  “Touch My Body” is the first single off Carey’s album E=MC2 out on April sixteenth.  Her Grammy-winning disc “The Emancipation of Mimi,” which was released in 2005 was the years best-selling album with five million copies sold.  It was a huge comback for superstar Mariah Carey.  Carey is such an inspiration, gratful artist and I will continue to listen to her and support her music.
