Having
sold
over
220
million
records
worldwide,
Mariah
Carey
is
one
of
the
best-selling
music
artists
of
all
time.
In
2008
(April
12th),
the
legendary
singer,
songwriter,
record
producer
and
actress
made
history.
Her
song
‘Touch
My
Body’
reached
number
one
on
the
Billboard
Hot
100.
In
doing
so,
Mariah
surpassed
Elvis
Presley
as
the
artist
with
the
most
number
one’s among
soloists
in
US
history
with
18
(the
current
number
is
19).
‘Touch
My
Body’
was
released
as
the
lead
single
from
Mariah
Carey’s
eleventh
studio
album,
E=MC² on
February
12,
2008.
Carey
and
Tricky
Stewart
co-produced
the
track
together.
The
two
also
co-wrote
the
song
alongside
Crystal
‘Cri$tyle’
Johnson
and
Terius
‘The-Dream’
Nash.
‘Touch
My
Body’
spent
a
total
of
20
weeks
on
the
Billboard
charts,
with
eight
in
the
top
ten
and
two
at
the
top.
The
success
of
‘Touch
My
Body’
helped
E=MC² debut
at
number
one
on
the US
Billboard
200
with
opening
week
sales
of
463,000
copies;
the
highest
first-week
sales
of
Carey’s
career.
While
Mimi
celebrated
that
milestone
earlier
this
year,
it
isn’t
close
to
the
only
thing
she’s
celebrating
this
year.
Everyone
knows
that
after
the
Thanksgiving
holiday,
it’s
Mariah
Carey’s
season!
One
of
her
number
one
hits
always
seems
to
make
its
way
back
into
the
Billboard Hot
100
around
this
time
every
year.
All
I
Want
For
Christmas
Is
You came
in
at
number
four
on
this
week’s
Hot
100.
With
that
being
the
case,
we
thought
it
would
be
a
great
time
to
highlight
the
five-time
Grammy-Award
winners
catalog.
Whether
it’s
on
the
Boyz
II
Men
collaboration One
Sweet
Day or
an
underrated
cut
like Dreamlover, Mariah
Carey
has
always
delivered.
Her
singing
style
and
vocal
abilities
have
changed
popular
and
contemporary
music
forever.
She
has
influenced
a
generation
of
pop
singers
all
over
the
world.
To
celebrate
Mariah
and
the
history
she’s
made,
we
put
together
a
gallery
of
all
19
of
her
Billboard
Hot
100
chart-toppers.
