Did you know that Mariah Carey is the only artist in history to have her first 5 singles climb to #1 on the Billboard Hot 100?

The legendary singer/songwriter’s ‘Vision of Love’‘Love Takes Time’, ‘Someday’, ‘I Don’t Wanna Cry’ and ‘Emotions’ all reached the chart summit between 1990 and 1991, making her the most successful debut act in the history of the Billboard Hot 100. This achievement also gives Carey the honor of being second to only Whitney Houston and tied with Katy Perry among female artists with the most consecutive #1 singles.

However, Carey accomplished another string of 5 consecutive chart-toppers from 1995 to 1998. She is the only female artist to accumulate as many #1 hits in 2 separate streaks.

Now you know!
