Mariah Carey singles discography

American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey has released sixty-three official singles, six promotional singles, and has made eight guest appearances. Carey's self-titled debut album in 1990 yielded four number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, the first being "Vision of Love", a song credited with revolutionizing the usage of distinguished vocal stylings, predominantly the practice of melisma, and effectively influencing virtually every female R&B performer since the 1990s. Subsequent singles "Emotions" (1991) and Carey's cover of the Jackson 5 classic, "I'll Be There" (1992) continued the singer's streak of US number-one singles, with the latter becoming her fourth chart-topper in Canada and first in the Netherlands. With the release of Carey's third studio album, Music Box (1993), the singer's international popularity surged upon release of "Hero" and the album's third single, her cover of Harry Nilsson's "Without You", which became the singer's first number-one single in several countries across Europe.

Carey's holiday album Merry Christmas (1994) produced the singer's perennial yule-tide classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You". With its continual expanding legacy, the song remains her highest seller and one of the best-selling singles of all time, with global sales of over 14 million copies. As of 2013, the song is estimated to have generated over $50 million in royalties. In 1995, the singer released her fifth studio effort, Daydream. Its singles "Fantasy" and "One Sweet Day" (with Boyz II Men) became Carey's ninth and tenth US number one singles, with the latter spending a record sixteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100. In following years, she released Butterfly's (1997) "Honey" – which became Carey's third single to debut atop the US chart, a record she still maintains – and "When You Believe" (with Whitney Houston). The singer's version of "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" (1999) (with Westlife) became her second chart-topping single in the UK.

Following a tumultuous period in the singer personal life, her ensuing albums/soundtrack Glitter (2001) and Charmbracelet (2002) failed to gain significant commercial traction, and led to a series of unsuccessful singles. Largely considered her come-back album, Carey's tenth studio effort The Emancipation of Mimi (2005) revived faith in the singer's stock, with single "We Belong Together" becoming her strongest international showing in years, and topping the chart in the US for 14-weeks and breaking several radio airplay records. In 2010, "We Belong Together" was listed by Billboard as the most successful song of the decade. In 2008, "Touch My Body", the debut single from her album E=MC², became Carey's 18th chart-topper on the Hot 100, making her the solo artist with the most number ones in the charts history. Since Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel (2009), Carey has released a string of moderate to unsuccessful singles following into the release of her most recent offering, Me. I Am Mariah... The Elusive Chanteuse (2014). As of 2009, Carey has sold 17.2 million physical singles and 13.8 million digital tracks in the United States, according to Nielsen SoundScan. Throughout her career, the singer has spent a record 79 weeks at the number one position on the Hot 100, becoming the artist with the most weeks at number one in US history. Overall, she has 24 top-ten singles in the UK and 27 top-ten songs on the US chart, placing her in fifth place for the most top tens since its inception.
