Mariah ties Elvis with 17th No. 1 single
I’ve never been a big Elvis fan either.
Mariah Carey moved a step closer to the Beatles’ record of 20 No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 Thursday as “Don’t Forget About Us” ascended one rung to the top of the singles chart in its 11th week.
With 17 chart-toppers, she now ties Elvis Presley at No. 2 on the all-time list, and becomes the only artist to post two No. 1 songs on the Hot 100 in 2005.
“Don’t Forget About Us” is also Carey’s 16th No. 1 as a songwriter, tying with Barry Gibb for third place. Only Paul McCartney with 32 and John Lennon with 26 have more. read more
