I think you get the point I'm trying to make...and it obviously isn't a fact judging by the various OPINIONS in this thread. Just because Billboard says she has eight doesn't mean she deserves that title, which is what we're debating in this thread. Whether or not you think she deserves 8 #1s is irrelevant. She has them. The FACT that she has 8 #1s is not up for debate. Billboard decides how many #1s she has. *yawns* Did you not read the question associated with this poll? It's asking if WE think artists should get the credit if they're featured. It's not asking what Billboard thinks or how it is currently. And thanks for essentially calling my opinion irrelevant. Keep up the GREAT stanning work.

It's all semantics anyway. Before the late 90s, songs were more often credited as ____&____ instead of _____ featuring ____. Even duets these days no matter how equal the parts are credited with a "Featuring" not "duet with" or ____ with ____.
You can bet your ass that the people that are saying she doesn't have 8 wouldn't be saying it if THEIR diva was the one in question.
For instance, if "I Know What You Want" had reached number 1 (Busta Rhymes feat. A bunch of people I don't remember & Mariah Carey) the lambs damned sure would claim it as one of HER #1s, with NO hesitation.
SIGH. Diva wars are soooo last season.

She has 8, as per Billboard. I'd also consider 8 since she is featured so prominently on the 2 features she is credited for. Ignoring Crack a Bottle hitting #1 (pretty much a fluke since it only hit #1 due to a high digital debut after a long long absence, though another argument in itself), Eminem hasn't had a #1 BB Hot 100 in years. She definitely helped him with that. That's ok though, Beyonce still has more. (5 solo +4 DC). I joke ![](http://yoursmiles.org/ssmile/fun/s0244.gif) .

She has 6 number ones. Featured ones shouldn't count. It's the main artists' song with extra help from the featured artists - it's not a joint song.

If we are going to get technical I Know What You Want was credited to Busta Rhymes & Mariah Carey featuring The Flipmode Squad. Mariah got lead credit with Busta
