On April 3, 2008, Mariah Carey achieved a monumental milestone in music history, surpassing Elvis Presley's long-standing record for the most No. 1 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Her track "Touch My Body," released from her album E=MC², became her 18th song to reach the coveted top spot.

This achievement placed Carey above the King of Rock and Roll, Elvis Presley, who had held the record with 17 No. 1 singles. While The Beatles have more chart-toppers overall, Carey's accomplishment was particularly significant for a solo artist.

Carey has since further extended her record. In 2019, her beloved holiday anthem "All I Want For Christmas Is You" soared to No. 1, marking her 19th career chart-topper nearly two decades after its initial release.
