Carrie Underwood's "Inside Your Heaven" bumped WBT down to #2 for one week, then WBT moved back to #1 and IYH dropped to #3. So, if we start talking about consecutive v. non-consecutive, it also affects Mariah's WBT.

It's a nice song, but its success had more to do with Mariah and particularly B2M immaculate radio power back then, than quality. It just doesn't hold the same influential weight as other #1s that lasted nearly as long, IMO. Evident by the fact, today, it is not as remembered as one would think.
