Mariah Carey is about to break another record made by Elvis Presley who has held the record for 40 years.
Just seven days after surpassing Presley's total of No. 1 pop singles in the rock era, Carey equals the King's number of weeks in pole position. A second week in the penthouse for "Touch My Body" (Island) gives Carey an aggregate total of 79 weeks spent on top.
Presley spent his 79th week at No. 1 on the Hot 100 dated Nov. 1, 1969, when "Suspicious Minds" held sway for seven days.
If "Touch My Body" is still in first place next week, Carey will have broken another Presley record as she collects her 80th week at No. 1.
Here are a list of all 18 #1 Hits:
"Vision of Love," four weeks (1990)
"Love Takes Time," three weeks (1990)
"Someday," two weeks (1991)
"I Don't Wanna Cry," two weeks (1991)
"Emotions," three weeks (1991)
"I'll Be There," two weeks (1992)
"Dreamlover," eight weeks (1993)
"Hero," four weeks (1993)
"Fantasy," eight weeks (1995)
"One Sweet Day," 16 weeks (1995) [Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men]
"Always Be My Baby," two weeks (1996)
"Honey," three weeks (1997)
"My All," one week (1998)
"Heartbreaker," two weeks (1999) [Mariah Carey featuring Jay-Z]
"Thank God I Found You," one week (2000) [Mariah Carey featuring Joe & 98 Degrees]
"We Belong Together," 14 weeks (2005)
"Don't Forget About Us," two weeks (2006)
"Touch My Body," two weeks to date (2008)
* I am sure that she will have at least two more number one's from this album with her next two singles "Bye Bye" and "Migrate (featuring. T-Pain]" Both tracks are outstanding, "Bye Bye" will be huge all across the world with it's message. Migrate will be another #1 hit for her because this song is her "Gangsta" track off the album and it's amazing, definitely a song for the club!
