"All" for one
In all the excitement over Usher having three No. 1 songs on Billboard's Hot 100 in 2004, one fact was overlooked. He's the first artist to have three consecutive releases reach No. 1 since Mariah Carey did it in between 1995-98. Carey had a run of five No. 1s in a row with "Fantasy", "One Sweet Day", "Always Be My Baby", "Forever" and "My All".
It was the second time in her career that Carey put together a string of five No. 1s in a row. Her first five chart entries ("Vision of Love", "Love Takes Time", "Someday", "I Don't Wanna Cry" and Emotions") all topped the chart. (Billboard) Of course Forever never reached the top spot, it wasn't even released as a single in the USA. The fourth number 1 hit was Honey, the first single from the album Butterfly.
