Mariah Carey Grabs A Piece Of History From Janet Jackson
Mariah Carey has appeared at No. 1 on different Billboard charts so many times she might not even be able to count the number of weeks in which she's ruled. Decades into her career, the superstar leads the charge once again on a tally in America as she collects a new winner. Thanks to the longevity of her career, Carey makes history with her latest champion and breaks a record previously held by another one of the most celebrated female performers of the last several decades. 'Type Dangerous' Hits No. 1 Carey's single 'Type Dangerous' lifts from No. 2 to No. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart, nine weeks into its time on the radio ranking. The lead single from Carey's upcoming album Here for It All gives her yet another leader, and according to Billboard, it helps her earn a new spot in chart history. Mariah Carey Grabs Janet Jackson's Radio Record It has been just under 19 years since Carey last controlled the Adult R&B Airplay chart. That stretch now stands as the longest in between rulers for a woman in the ranking's decades-long history. That honor used to belong to Janet Jackson, who waited between 1998 and 2015 when her songs 'I Get Lonely' and 'No Sleeep' dominated. 'We Belong Together' and 'Fly Like a Bird' Carey has now collected just three No. 1s on the Adult R&B Airplay chart. She first made it to the top spot in the summer of 2005 with 'We Belong Together.' That track lived on the tally for 38 weeks, eight of which were at No. 1. The following summer, 'Fly Like a Bird' flapped its wings and soared to the top spot, earning half a dozen turns on the throne. 'Type Dangerous' is on the Way Down More than two months into its life on a number of Billboard tallies, 'Type Dangerous' is largely declining, although it seems that older R&B fans have a soft spot for the Grammy winner. 'Type Dangerous' climbs not only the Adult R&B Airplay chart, but also the Hot R&B Songs tally, a general consumption list. The tune is on the decline on a pair of pop radio lists and the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay ranking. 'Sugar Sweet' Debuts on Multiple Radio Charts As 'Type Dangerous' begins to fall, 'Sugar Sweet' — Carey's newly-released collaboration with Shenseea and Kehlani — debuts on multiple airplay rankings. That track, also taken from her forthcoming album, seems to only just be getting started.

Mariah Carey Scores Her First New No. 1 In Almost Two Decades
For more than two decades, Mariah Carey was one of the most reliable hitmakers in the American music industry. The singer-songwriter scored a historic number of leaders on the Hot 100, and many of her tunes became radio favorites as well. Decades into her career, Carey is still racking up wins on a number of Billboard lists — some of which didn't exist when she started — in some ways, she's playing catch-up. As the songstress prepares to release her upcoming sixteenth album Here For It All in September, the set's lead single returns her to No. 1 for the first time in years. 'Type Dangerous' Rises to No. 1 'Type Dangerous' lifts from the runner-up spot on the Adult R&B Airplay chart to No. 1, giving Carey just her third champion on the radio ranking. That seems like a fairly small number for one of the most successful R&B artists of all time, but many of her early tracks were released before Billboard introduced the roster. Mariah Carey First Hit No. 1 20 Years Ago Carey first ruled the Adult R&B Airplay chart in July 2005, when 'We Belong Together' earned its first of eight weeks at No. 1. She returned to the summit the following summer with 'Fly Like a Bird,' which went on to live on the Adult R&B Airplay tally for a full year and racked up six weeks at No. 1. Mariah Carey's First New No. 1 in Almost Two Decades Billboard notes that 'Type Dangerous' earns Carey her first new No. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay chart in 19 years. The music magazine also points out that, excluding her holiday fare — especially 'All I Want for Christmas Is You' — 'Type Dangerous' is the Grammy winner's first leader on any of Billboard's airplay tallies in nearly two decades. 'Type Dangerous' Is Largely on the Decline 'Type Dangerous' can be found on half a dozen Billboard rankings at the moment, almost all of which are centered around radio attention. As it hits No. 1 on the Adult R&B Airplay list, the track declines on another four airplay tallies, including the Pop Airplay, Adult Pop Airplay, R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay, and Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay rosters. Thanks to its continued success at the adult R&B format, Carey manages to climb once more on the Hot R&B Songs chart, where 'Type Dangerous' has previously topped out at No. 7. 'Sugar Sweet' Launches on Several Radio Lists As 'Type Dangerous' begins to descend, Carey's even newer single, 'Sugar Sweet' — a collaboration with Shenseea and Kehlani — dips on a handful of sales and general consumption rosters. At the same time, it opens inside the top 40 on both the Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay and R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay charts.
