Mariah Carey scores her 16th number one

Mariah Carey has cemented her position of the most successful female artist of all time in the USA by achieving her 16th number one this week with "We Belong Together". The Beatles still hold the record for most number one singles with a total of 20. Elvis Presley is in second place with 18.

In total time spent at the number one spot, Mariah is in second place with 62 weeks behind Elvis with 80. "Mariah Carey's energy and enthusiasm is at an all-time high," said Antonio "L.A." Reid, Chairman, Island Def Jam Music Group, "and Mimi is on the verge of becoming one of the most successful albums of her career as a result. It is with a combination of pride and awe that I congratulate Mariah on accomplishing what no other female in modern pop history has been able to do - no one is more deserving than Mariah Carey of sharing the pantheon with the greatest of the greats."

Mariah's Emancipation of Mimi album has now reached double platinum status in the USA for sales over 2 million units
