In 1991, "I Don't Wanna Cry" crowned the Hot 100

May 25, 1991
Carey notched her fourth Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 in as many tries from her debut self-titled album, as "I Don't Wanna Cry" reached the top spot. It followed "Vision of Love", "Love Takes Time" and "Someday" to the summit. As Paul Grein wrote in Chart Beat that week (via reader David Harris), Carey became the first act to top the Hot 100 with her first four entries on the chart since the Jackson 5 in 1970. Carey would lead the list with her next single, 1991's "Emotions", and (following two more top fives) reigned again in 1992 with her cover of the Jackson 5's 1970 No. 1 "I'll Be There".

May 23, 1998
Mariah Carey scored her lucky 13th Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 with "My All". She's since upped her total to 18 leaders, the most among all solo artists in the chart's history.

In this post, I simply would like to thank the people behind MCA! Thank you, guys so very much. Reading Mariah's success stories like this that I have missed because I was too young, and reminiscing those I have witnessed both brings memories! Basking on her chart successes, especially now that it seems too far-fetched to hope for, reminds us how great she was and is as an artist. Music enthusiast may not consider her a legendary star but undeniably, Mariah is such an icon. Who cares, anyway? All I know is music industry will have a huge black hole without the likes of Mariah, Whitney, Aretha, and Madonna. They are the reasons why we have AG, TS, Rihanna, and other budding singers. As for the unsuccessful stories, it reminds us how she triumphed over those! Thus, it remains inspirational and encouraging. No wonder she is a "hero" of many young women and LGBTQIA+ out there. Good job MCA and congratulations!
