A singer who was immensely popular during the 90s and 2000s. She set the record for most #1 hits among solo artists, as well as becoming the first artist to score a #1 hit in four different decades (90s, 00s, 10s and 20s). Well known for her wide vocal range and whistle register.

Who is Mariah Carey let me see...well I'm glad you asked because MARIAH CAREY is
Someone who is the first and only artist to have the first five of their songs to go to to #1.
She is the only artist to have the most consecutive years with a #1 hit. (11)
She is the artist with the most #1's.(19)
She is the artist that broke the airplay records in the 2000s with 230M listeners in a week and then did it again with Shake It Off and again with Dont Forget About Us.
The Queen Of Christmas
2 songs of the decade. 1 song of the year
Most weeks at number one b4 the streaming era (and I keep in mind those were the days you had to buy it and keep listening to it on the radio)
Only artist to have a live version of a song to go to #1
Only artist to have a number one hit in every year of a decade (90s)
Biggest and best selling artist of the 90s
Most #1 debuts before the streaming era
Mariah is the Queen of the music industry. Peridot.

Mariah Carey (born March 27, 1969 or 1970)[3] is an American singer-songwriter, record producer, actress, entrepreneur, and philanthropist. She was signed to Columbia Records in 1988 and rose to fame after releasing her eponymous debut album two years later. Carey is the first artist in history to have their first five singles become consecutive number one songs on the Billboard Hot 100 (from "Vision of Love" to "Emotions"). Renowned for her five-octave vocal range, melismatic singing style, and signature use of the whistle register, Carey is referred to as the "Songbird Supreme" by Guinness World Records.
In 1993, Carey married Sony Music head Tommy Mottola. She achieved worldwide success with follow-up albums Music Box (1993), Merry Christmas (1994), and Daydream (1995). These albums spawned some of Carey's most successful singles, including "Hero", "Without You", "All I Want for Christmas Is You", "Fantasy", "Always Be My Baby", as well as "One Sweet Day", which topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for 16 weeks and became Billboard's Song of the Decade (1990s Decade). After separating from Mottola, Carey adopted a new image and incorporated more elements of hip hop into her music with the release of Butterfly (1997) and Rainbow (1999). Billboard named her the country's most successful artist of the 1990s, while the World Music Awards honored her as the world's best-selling music artist of the 1990s, and the best-selling female artist of the millennium.
After eleven consecutive years charting a US number-one single, Carey parted ways with Columbia in 2000 and signed a $80 million recording contract with Virgin Records. However, following her highly publicized physical and emotional breakdown, as well as the critical and commercial failure of her film Glitter (2001) and its accompanying soundtrack, her contract was bought out for $28 million by Virgin and she signed with Island Records the following year. After a relatively unsuccessful period, she returned to the top of music charts with The Emancipation of Mimi (2005), the world's second-best-selling album of 2005. Its second single, "We Belong Together", topped the Billboard Hot 100 for 14 weeks and became Billboard's Song of the Decade. Her performance as a social worker in the 2009 coming-of-age drama film Precious garnered a positive response from critics and won her the Breakthrough Actress Performance Award at the Palm Springs International Film Festival.
Throughout her career, Carey has sold over 200 million records worldwide, making her one of the best-selling music artists of all time. With a total of 19 songs topping the Billboard Hot 100, Carey holds the record for the most number-one singles by a solo artist, a female songwriter, and a female producer,[4] and she is the only artist to hit number one on the chart in each year of a decade (1990s decade).[5] According to the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), she is the second-highest-certified female artist in the United States, with 66.5 million certified album units.[6] In 2012, she was ranked second on VH1's list of the 100 Greatest Women in Music. In 2019, Billboard named her the all-time top female artist in the United States, based on both album and song chart performances.[7] Aside from her commercial accomplishments, Carey has won five Grammy Awards, nineteen World Music Awards, ten American Music Awards,[8] and fifteen Billboard Music Awards.[9] An inductee of the Songwriters Hall of Fame,[10] she is noted for inspiring other artists in pop and contemporary R&B music.[11]

The Beatles are also the artist with the most #1 hits on the Hot 100. I see your point. Whenever I think of an artist I think of an individual for example Paul McCartney, Ringo Star, etc are artist that make up the band Beatles but I see your point.

Here's a story about before she was famous. A substitute teacher said a girl said something like "I don't need to learn this because I'm going to be a famous singer." The sub asked the teachers if the girl had a good voice, and they said yes.

A rare vocalist who can write, produce and even direct her own songs/music video.
Usually, most big vocalist dont write her songs. Like Whitney, Celine, etc.
And of course she's iconic for using some hard vocabolary on her song lyrics. * incessantly on Heartbreaker * acquiescent on Its a Wrap * emblazoned on My All * rhabsodize on Melt Away, Did I Do That * acquiescent on Its a Wrap * despondency on Petals * imprudently on Cry. * woeful on Clown etc

This singer first topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 1990 with "Vision of Love" and returned there in 2019 with a Christmas hit.
(If we're playing reverse Jeopardy here.)

Mariah is the artist (meaning a solo individual) with the most #1's Bing Crosby had 41 number ones. He is by far the champion When I mention #1's I'm talking about the #1'a on the Billboard Hot 100 as a lead artist. Bing Crosby 41 #1's are on the SUB-charts not the Hot 100. According to Billboard he doesnt have a #1 on the main chart. And btw Bing has 41 across the sub charts, Mariah has waaaaay more. She has multiple singles with #1's on radio, R&B, digital and physical sales, Adult Contemporary, recurrent, and Pop. That equals to about 100 and something.
