American singer, songwriter and producer Mariah Carey has achieved 18 number-one songs on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 chart.

Carey's self-titled debut studio album produced four number-one songs. She achieved her first with "Vision of Love" in August 1990, which reached the peak for four weeks. It was followed by "Love Takes Time" later that year in November for three weeks, "Someday" in March 1991 for two weeks, and "I Don't Wanna Cry" in May 1991 for two weeks. "Emotions" became her fifth consecutive number-one song in October 1991.

Carey's cover of the Jackson 5 song "I'll Be There" topped the chart for two weeks in August 1992, and she collected two further chart toppers in 1993 when "Dreamlover" peaked atop the chart in September for eight weeks and with "Hero" in December for four consecutive weeks.*
