MARIAH CAREY HITS #1 WITH HER HISTORY-MAKING "HEARTBREAKER"
Columbia recording artist Mariah Carey, the biggest-selling female artist of the 1990's, is making music history again today as "Heartbreaker," the first single from her forthcoming Rainbow album, becomes her 14th #1 single on the Billboard Hot 100, a feat rivaled only by the Beatles (20) and Elvis Presley (17). With "Heartbreaker" entering the top slot of the charts, Mariah is spending her 59th week at #1, tying only the Beatles for the most weeks at #1 during the 41-year history of the Hot 100. "Heartbreaker" has also hit #1 today on the Billboard R&B; chart, becoming the 6th Mariah Carey single to do so.
Mariah Carey has had more #1 singles than any female artist, surpassing both the Supremes (12) and Madonna (11), and more #1's than any active recording artist. With more than 271,000 "Heartbreaker" singles sold, Mariah has also achieved the biggest first-week sales of her career and her biggest one-week singles sales ever.
In fact, Mariah Carey is the only artist to have had a #1 single for every year of the 1990's. The last decade to have an artist hit #1 every single year was the 1920's when Paul Whiteman & his Orchestra hit the top slot each year. (By the end of the 1920's, Whiteman had become a Columbia Records artist.) With the exception of Merry Christmas (from which there was no single release) and #1's (a collection of her first 13 chart-toppers), Mariah has hit #1 with the debut single from every one of her albums.
With the exception of her cover version of the Jackson 5's "I'll Be There," Mariah has cowritten all of her #1's, including "Heartbreaker." With the exceptions of "I Don't Wanna Cry," "Someday," "Love Takes Time," and "Vision Of Love," Mariah has co-produced all of her chart-topping singles.
Mariah Carey has sold more than 115 million records worldwide and earned an astounding 84 RIAA gold, platinum, and multi-platinum certifications for her singles, albums, and videos. As the best-selling female artist of the 1990's, she has provided an ongoing soundtrack to the decade and continues to give voice to the emotions of our age.
