In addition, she's earned 17 top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart (six of which reached No. 1), 17 No. 1 Dance Club Songs and 10 No. 1 Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs.

The best-selling female album artist, according to Nielsen Music, Mariah Carey has scored 18 Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hits. Epic Records and Carey have compiled those hits and new single, "Infinity," into Mariah Carey #1 To Infinity, arriving in stores May 18. For the first time ever, one career-spanning chronological collection will gather all 18 of her Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles (17 self-penned), more than any solo artist in history.
