Her previous chart-toppers include "We Belong Together," which held the top position for eight weeks in 2005, and "Fly Like a Bird," which dominated for six weeks in 2006. After a 19-year hiatus from the top, Carey returned to the summit with "Type Dangerous," which spent three weeks at No. 1 in August 2025.
