The middle day of the days counted, so one week of news cannot move it. The line under it is the last 390 days, one point a day.
Something wrong?She holds more Billboard Hot 100 number ones than any solo artist in history - 19 - and turned a 1994 holiday track into a perennial that now defines December itself. The whistle register is her signature, but the commercial instinct might be sharper.

Mariah Carey arrived in 1990 with her self-titled debut and became the only artist to send their first five singles straight to number one. Music Box and Daydream made her a global force by the mid-90s, but the remix of "Fantasy" with Ol' Dirty Bastard marked the pivot: she embraced hip hop, shed an image, and released Butterfly in 1997. After a career slide, The Emancipation of Mimi in 2005 delivered her comeback. Rolling Stone named her the fifth-greatest singer of all time in 2023. She's sold over 220 million records, spent 101 weeks atop the Hot 100, earned five Grammys, and made "All I Want for Christmas Is You" the longest-running number-one song on that chart. The diva persona stuck, but so did the numbers.
