Mariah has the longest lasting #1 single of all time. Katy is tied with MJ for most #1 singles off an album. Mariah has 18 #1's total, tieing her with Elvis for the second most of all time. Katy has succeeded in getting 9 number one singles in the course of 6 years, a very impressive fear.
But before people start bringing up the remixes and discounts, let's go ahead and get it on the record that Mariah's team was just as smart with their single releases, making the CD singles cheaper than the standard and things like that. Both of them earned their #1s and both of them used smart release strategies.
katy's got a looooooooong way to go to match mariah. mariah's reign lasted a long time and was absolutely massive in ways even katy hasn't reached yet.
Obviously Mariah. Call me when Katy releases singles year-to-year for a whole decade and it looks like this:
Took her 9 years to have an "Unconditionally". Katy isn't doing it.
Oh, I wikipedia-d and they said he had 18. Mess
IA entirely, except didn't Katy have TWO Unconditionally-s with her first album (Waking Up in Vegas + Thinking of You)? Teenage Dream is the only album to really have #1 after #1
most weeks on the chart maybe; your sleepy pbly
