There’s nothing wrong with the fifth single from her 2005 comeback album “The Emancipation of Mimi,” per se, except to say that it’s probably one of her least memorable hits, though it still earned her Grammy nominations for Best Female R&B Vocal and Best R&B Song. It samples a pop hit from the early-1980s (“Attack of the Name Game” by Stacy Lattisaw) just like her previous hit “Fantasy.” And it featured a guest verse by a popular rapper (Jay-Z), kind of like her remix for “Fantasy.” So this feels more like a retread of a successful formula, but it was successful nonetheless. The lead single from her “Rainbow” album is catchy as hell, but it’s also pretty familiar. However, this was her last number-one hit (and her last Grammy nomination) before her career temporarily hit the skids with “Glitter” and “Charmbracelet,” so “Thank God” she found it. Joe and 98 Degrees are featured, but it didn’t quite capture the magic of her classic collaborations that came before. Since its release, this ballad from Mariah Carey’s seventh studio album “Rainbow” feels like more of a footnote in the singer’s catalog. So what’s the best number-one hit of her entire career? Find out below. She has also won five Grammys out of 34 nominations, though perhaps surprisingly only two songs of hers were rewarded: “Vision of Love” and “We Belong Together.” You can’t win ’em all.īut Carey has won quite a lot. She won 10 American Music Awards and 15 Billboard Music Awards including the Icon Award in 2019. She has released 11 platinum albums, including two that were certified diamond: 1993’s “Music Box” and 1995’s “Daydream,” both of which sold more than 20 million copies worldwide. She accumulated a whopping 14 number-one hits in the 1990s alone, then added four more in the 2000s and closed out the 2010s with her first Hot 100 leader in more than a decade: “All I Want for Christmas is You,” which she recorded and released way back in 1994, became her 19th chart-topping hit and made her the artist with the greatest span of number-one hits in Billboard history.īut her impressive achievements aren’t just in her singles. But which is her greatest hit? Scroll down for our gallery of all her chart-toppers, ranked from worst to best. Since then she has accumulated more number-ones than any other solo artist in history. That first album sent its first four singles to number-one on the Billboard Hot 100, which made her the first artist since the Jackson 5 to achieve that feat.
She broke out in 1990 with her self-titled debut album, and her commercial and creative achievements since then may never be matched. There’s a hero when you look inside Mariah Carey‘s discography.
