In a remarkable achievement for her storied career, Mariah Carey has once again made history on the music charts, claiming the No. 1 spot on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart with her latest single, “Type Dangerous.” This success not only marks a significant milestone for Carey but also allows her to surpass a record that was previously held by fellow icon Janet Jackson.
“Type Dangerous” ascended from No. 2 to No. 1 after nine weeks on the radio charts and is the lead single from Carey’s upcoming album, Here for It All. This victory adds to her extensive collection of chart-topping singles, showcasing her enduring presence in the music industry.
Carey’s achievement is particularly noteworthy as it ends a long-standing gap for female artists on the Adult R&B Airplay chart. The previous record for the longest interval between No. 1 hits was held by Janet Jackson, who experienced a 17-year hiatus between her chart-toppers “I Get Lonely” in 1998 and “No Sleeep” in 2015. Now, Carey holds the distinction of having the longest gap for a woman on this chart, having last reached No. 1 nearly 19 years ago.
Throughout her career, Carey has accumulated three No. 1 hits on the Adult R&B Airplay chart. Her first was the iconic “We Belong Together,” which dominated for 38 weeks in the summer of 2005, followed by “Fly Like a Bird,” which also achieved significant success.
While “Type Dangerous” is experiencing a decline in some pop radio rankings, it continues to resonate with older R&B fans, climbing not only the Adult R&B Airplay chart but also the Hot R&B Songs tally. Meanwhile, Carey has released a new collaboration titled “Sugar Sweet” featuring Shenseea and Kehlani, which has debuted on multiple airplay charts, indicating that her musical journey is far from over.
With her continued success and ability to break records, Mariah Carey proves that she remains a formidable force in the music industry, captivating audiences and inspiring future generations of artists.
