It was officially announced today that Mariah Carey surpassed Elvis to score the second-place slot for most No. 1 singles in the rock era. "Touch My Body" is her 18th No. 1, while the Beatles maintain the top slot with 20 No. 1 hits. With Mariah's new album, E=MC2, dropping on April 15 and her incredible ability to churn out hits, there's a good chance that she could break the Beatles' record. What do you think — will Mariah surpass the Beatles for most No. 1 singles of all time?

I sincerely hope not.
I think her time has definitely passed, and I wonder how she sings lacking lips and all. LOL
She's horrible, that song is worse - the line "I will hunt you down" is pretty ridiculous. And when she tries to sexify it? Even worse.
That horse needs to be led to the glue factory and FAST.
1I'm going with yes because she is truly successful
2I'm going with yes because she is truly successful
3I picked yes, but i hope no! I can't stand her and she needs to go away and stop dressing so skanky.
4i feel like after she redeemed herself recently she's going to be able to churn out a few more #1s. i'm not really a big fan, but i think that enoough people like her and her style that she'll do it.
5I'll be afraid that if it does happen her DIVAness will be out of control. Her singing is sensational but someone needs to let her know that her sh*t stinks just like the rest of every human being on this earth.
6Um...HELLO! Madonna is going to the top artist EVER to have 37 top 10 singles EVER!
7I hope not.
8she probably will even though I hope she doesn't!!
9No!
10As a huge Beatles fan I'd like to seem them hold on to the title forever, but I'm sure someone will eventually pass them. It might be Mariah, it might not. I do think it'd be interesting to see how the numbers break down in relation to population growth, the economy, and technological advancements (ie digital downloads).
11I hope not...I use to love old school Mariah but not this hooch.
She can't touch the Beatles.
12Without a doubt-
13She definitely has the means to! I hope she does, she's amazing.
14don't know, but her "vision of love" is AMAZING. i feel bad that her youth waqs taken by that douche bag husband of hers.
15"Touch my body" song and the corny video is the worst ever!
16I do hope not, even though I know it's not going to happen. It makes me upset because Mariah Carey will never live up to what the Beatles were. She definitely has not earned it. All her songs are catchy for the most part, which is why they are so popular.
17it sucks but she prob will...Mariah has an amazing voice and I really like her but I feel like no1 should ever pass the Beatles. They're a legend!
18I actually think that she does deserve it. She has written all of her music and lyrics (for the most part) since she came out. She just has a knack for writing popular music. Do I love that she is more hootch than she used to be? no. But she is very talented and I do think she has worked for everything she has. That being said, she is not the Beatles, but no one will ever be the Beatles.
19I really hope not ... because everything she has put out post-90's is craaaaaaaaap. The Beatles are classic. I don't think classic when I think of Mariah Carey. I think cheap hooker.
20I hope not. God, I really miss old school Mariah. This Mariah is barely recognisable. Old school MC was down to earth, naturally pretty and was no diva! This MC is such a vain, annoying bimbo! She was soooo pretty back in the Vision of Love days. She has definitely had botox and other things done to her face, she looks so different.
She was brillant from 1990-1997. Then she got divorced and totally changed! She used to stick to pop songs and ballads. After her divorce, she went all hip hop/r&b and went for the bimbo look!
I love hip hop and r&b but MC should have stuck to the ballads. She really can't sing as good as she used to be able to anymore. She needs to retire!
21agree with nomerz 100%
22Mariah is a true talented star. The Beatles cannot hold onto a title forever eventually someone would knowck them down, and I highly doubt anyone will think they are worthy either.
I think Mariah will easily surpass their record! If she does become more of a diva oh well, she actually has talent, writes her own music, makes money from album sales not Umbrella lines, clothing lines, or any of the other crap celebs plug in order to pad their pockets. Her frangrance is her FIRST product in her entire career. I think that's awesome and she deserves whatever sucess comes her way.
23Madonna I can see getting #1 she had so many memorable hits. I can't even name one hit from Mariah so I don't get it. And her latest is just horrible.
24she is amazingly talented and i know she can do it
25she is amazingly talented and i know she can do it
26I certainly hope not.
27Well I guess MC is better in that she hasn't claimed to bigger than Jesus-not yet anyway-lol! Between her skankiness and the Beatles flying 'high' with "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" the burning question: who really is deserving?? I think MC has an amazing voice and her hits are so catchy that even her biggest haters can't help but hum to the beat! So I think MC will surpass Sir Paul and the boys(what with that gold digger Heather Mills causing bad press)...yeah....who knows maybe MC will be 'knighted' too, we can all call her "Ma'am" LOL!
28Eh, I have to say no only because it's The Beatles and I frankly don't want to see just anyone surpass them, but with the music industry now a days, I don't think they would be surpassed by someone I consider truly worthy anyway because the modern music I like doesn't get mainstream attention.
29Its too bad though, if she does. I don't think she's all that good.
30its already too bad that she passed Elvis. I really hope she doesnt catch up to the Beatles. Mariah compared to those two.. she's nothing.
31I didn't even know who the beatles were until I was high school, but I feel like I've been listening to Mariah's music almost all my life. Even though her style & voice have changed as she's gotten older, she's still an amazing artist. Plus, if her next three songs are great, then people will buy them, it doesn't matter if she's deserving or not, it just matters what kind of hits she's going to produce.
32I really don't like her - she was good in the 90s then once she got divorced she went down hill - It's sad to see that these records are falling to a woman who is almost 40 and still thinks she's 21
33Please, please.. if there is a god, do no let this happen!
34And I'm sincerely sorry, dancertay, but that is slightly pathetic. Not a personal attack, but come on. You didn't know The Beatles?!
god i hope not. i can't stand her or her music
35i hope not. her songs suck ass
36WOW its funny how people insult Mimi for her work in the past and present yet she continues to succeed. I love her and I hope she surpasses ALL records.
37It's great that a woman will be the one to break that record. I like that it's her because she writes her own music and doesn't leave up to others to do all the work for her. Having said that, I don't particularly enjoy the music I've heard so far from this new album, but I'm still happy for her.
38Ugh. I sure hope not. If Mariah Carey (of all people!) will be the one to break The Beatles' record, then, I'd say, the world has come to an end. I'd rather no one would break The Beatles' record, but oh well. If someone's got to, I hope it wouldn't be Mariah Carey.
39I HATE HER.
40I am sick and tired of hearing "the old Mariah" versus "the new Mariah" and calling her a hooch and whatever. Get over it. People are so materialistic when it comes to true talent. I must admit, I have succumb to the idea pop star attributes. How pretty they are, what they look like, and how they dress. It's a part of nature. But to have what they portray themselves to be in the public eye versus their true talent is superficial.
And records are meant to be broken. She's already at 18... she needs 2 more... there's a definite chance she'll break it.
So get over yourself who puts down Mariah cause she dresses like a slut. She's not the only one that does it.
41GO AWAY MARY SCARY!
42I haven't heard her new album but I think she can probably do it.
43Whether she breaks the record or not she still is what she is and the Beatles are what the are and nothing will ever change that. The Beatles ARE a legend. Every one of their #1's stand the test of time. MC is an over the hill cheap looking hello-kitty wearing bimbo who originated the dog-whistle. She's been a joke for years.
44you are so right Kitten98, that is what i wanted to say , good one
45oh , and i voted NO
She used to sing really good, but now she whispers through her bloody songs.
46Hell to the no. I can't STAND this woman's screeching! People talk about Brit being over rated, Mooriah is the one that's over rated! She's not funny, dresses like a 12 year old and (in my opinion) can't sing to save her life. I'm not a critic though, which is probably why the ones I like on American Idol get voted off and the ones that are awful win (Except for Carrie Underwood at least).
47I'm not sure ANYONE will ever compare to the Beatles. Not in my eyes anyway!
48I love her but I don't think she's good enough to measure up!
49Mariah will be around for a while longer and with the music industry the way it is I'd say she has a really good shot at breaking the record. Besides, I hate the beatles.
