Counting on Carey
|  | | A music chart expert and professional journalist, Fred Bronson is the author of The Billboard Book of Number One Hits and writes for numerous television and radio projects. | | Dear Fred. I love your columns and look forward to reading them each week. I do have a quick comment on last week's Chart Beast Chat, though. You corrected a writer's comment concerning Mariah Carey. The writer stated that Mariah scored four consecutive No. 1s from her debut album and you corrected him in your comments by stating that she had five No. 1s from that album. However, that is incorrect. Mariah did indeed have her first five singles all hit No. 1 but only the first four ("Vision of Love", "Love Takes Time", "Someday" and "I Don't Want to Cry") were from her self-titled debut. The fifth number one was the title track to her second album, "Emotions".
Scott Foltz, Columbus, Ohio Dear Scott. You'd be surprised how many people wrote in correcting this item - I know I was. You were the first person to call this to my attention, almost immediately after the column was posted, so you get to represent the couple of dozen people who wrote in about this and receive my mea culpa.
