Madonna and Mariah Carey Do Unthinkable Record Break

Pop divas Madonna and Mariah Carey have managed the unthinkable, a record break tinged with blasphemy: they have both surpassed Elvis Presley, the former with most top-ten singles, the latter with most No. 1 singles.

Elvis Presley, the undefeated King of Rock ‘n’ Roll, has lost two crown jewels to Mimi and Madge. Elvis’ decade-long triumphant lead of the Billboard charts, which included most No. 1 singles by a solo artist and most Top 10 hits in the 50-year history of Billboard's Hot 100, has been chipped by two of the most successful female singers ever.

Mariah Carey’s latest single, “Touch My Body,” put her name ahead of Elvis’ when it comes to counting No. 1 singles, with only The Beatles ahead of her. Spooky, some would say!
