Mariah ties Elvis with her 17th No. 1 single
NEW YORK — Mariah Carey's "Don't Forget About Us" rose to the top of Billboard's Hot 100 chart, putting her in a tie with Elvis Presley for second place among artists with the most No. 1 singles in the rock era.
Carey and Presley have 17 No. 1 hits, second only to the Beatles, who had 20. (Some music sources report Presley had 18 No. 1 hits by counting the double-sided single "Don't Be Cruel" and "Hound Dog" as two hits instead of one.)
It has taken Carey just over 15 years to accumulate the 17 hit singles. Her first was "Vision of Love" in 1990.
