“Unbothered” is the name of the game for Pop diva Mariah Carey.
For over 20 years the undisputed Queen of the Billboard Hot 100 and her fans, affectionately called #Lambs, enjoyed the seemingly untouchable record of ‘longest number 1’ – a feat accomplished when her Boyz II Men-assisted tune, ‘One Sweet Day,’ held atop the tally for a whopping 16 weeks in the mid-90s. Though challenged in 2017 when Luis Fonsi teamed with the likes of Daddy Yankee and Justin Bieber to hoist the hit ‘Despacito’ to the chart’s summit for 16 weeks, their failure to nab a 17th week stay at the top kept Carey’s record in tact.
This week, however, a new challenger for the title arose in the form of Lil Nas X‘s megahit ‘Old Town Road.’ Boasting a tool ‘Day’ did not have in its arsenal at the time (streaming), the Billy Ray Cyrus-assisted tune – which has also extended its stay thanks to a number of high profile remixes – earned its 16th week at #1 as revealed by the chart’s most recent refresh (click here to read more).
As industry analysts believe it is likely the 20-year-old will break Carey’s longstanding record, our friends at The Blast caught up with the icon to ask if she was worried about the loss. Her diva response just served as another reminder of why we love Mimi here at TGJ HQ:
Less than two weeks ago, Carey sent fans into a frenzy with the Twitter exchange above which insinuated she was open to remixing ‘Old Town Road.’ However, when recently asked by our friends at The Blast if she was willing to add her name to the long list of people who have revamped the tune, Carey responded:
‘Nobody wants to hear that remix,’ she said.
When quizzed on if she was worried about X dusting her in history books, the 49-year old said:
‘Darling, no.’

So we are not gonna talk about beyonce selling 900 copies in the UK.
Waiting for the excuses the flea hive will come up with.
But u guys said beyonce was not a singles seller but an album seller
Beyonce will definitely sell 600k in 3 days
She outsold Adele and Taylor multiple times
LMAO!!! Gurl are you sure about that?
I am sorry but Tidal has been exposed and therefore your roach queen can’t cheat her way to the top. Wasn’t the EIL chart drama enough evidence for you EBThives?
Lol, the hives are seriously delusional. On what planet exactly did she outsell Taylor & Adele? Lmao.

Beyonce will go down in the record books for BEING A GREAT CONCERT DRAW. She does NOT have an ICONIC song that people will be listening too for the next 25 years. She has NO HERO/ONE SWEET DAY like mariah. No I’ll Always love you/Greatest love of all Like Whitney. Hell, she does not even have a Rolling in the deep like Adele. Beyonce missed that train. Halo and Single ladies WILL not cut it, she’s basically a better voiced Jlo.
Nah, she has crazy in love and single ladies. And people are still going wild to those in clubs, and crazy in love is what? 18 years old?
You’re partly right though. Her catalogue does not live up to her Status. She is a Touring Artist and her songs or albums are not special IMO
She has one———— “Telephone”
This is Beyoncé biggest hit in her entire career worldwide
Even jlo got a few memorable tracks.
Shes not the queen of Billboard Hot 100…….. You have to work and use the computer and internet, and if you can do that and dedicate some time each day then you can do this with no problem.
I have been working with this for a month and have made over $2,000 already. let me know if you need more help.
Read more <===
Stfu it’s not just her album. And nobody is talking about her albums sales except you dummies who pretend you hate her so much. How tf do you let somebody you claim not to like occupy this much time that you spend all day leaving comments online about how many albums were sold. Get a life.
BEYONCE IS OVERRATED
SHE LOST MOST HER FAN BASE WHEN SHE BECAME A BLACK PANTHER.
MOST WHITES AND LATINOS WONT SUPPORT SOMEONE WHO DISLIKES THEM AND ONLY USES THEM FOR VIEWS .
He is on course to be the greatest artist of the world.
STFU you sound Just a stupid as JasmineTranny. This queen is a ONE HIT WONDER and we will never hear from him again
? ? ? So true
More Info
Glad Miss Piggy is finally losing one of her records. People barely remember that 90’s song anyway.
You sound STUPID. I’m sure all your 80 year old friends that die….ONE SWEET DAY is played at there funeral. You like 68 years old chatting and beefing with 20 year old’s on here???? Go somewhere and be a good Auntie or something? Instead of being on here HATING on diva’s go watch POSE so you can brush up on your TRANNYperformances every Thursday. StupidHoe
The difference between them one has secured a legendary career while the other will be known for this one milestone hopefully he can establish longevity as MC has then that would be a major achievement more importantly but congratulations to Lil Nas X!!!
^that part!
This is why he said what he said at week 13 because he knew it would breathe new life into tithe song he could have waited a month but the controversy was going to take it over the top but for some reason I think he’s lying about it
Yep, and that’s exactly why I’m not so sure i believe that he’s really gay.
Lol he used to run a twitter account called Nas Maraj in which he was very openly gay.
Lol anybody can say anything on the internet for likes and followers.
He is gay. He has a gay lisp, acts feminine, and why would he lie about being gay? It’s not something you lie about. Yes, he used it to make more money off the song and he used it as a time when the media wants celebrity black men to be feminine to demasculinize the image of black men.
I can appreciate the diversity that Old Town Road, One Sweet Day and Despacito brings! Damn, a gay black young man and a featured older white man are about to have the all time record! And the 16 week record is still and forever will be shared by a black woman of mixed heritage, 4 black men, 2 puerto ricans and a lil white bread on the side lol…come on America! ?? Especially at a time when that racist fool is sitting his orange Big Mac booty asss in the White House ? And Mariah has so many Billboard records it ain’t even funny! The Queen Of Billboard remains unbothered and unmatched!

https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/hot-100-turns-60/8468185/hot-100-turns-60-artists-with-the-most-no-1s
Now, you trying to be cute with it, but this article today is about Mariah not being worried about Lil Nas X…in short, this is about #1’s hunnie…not Top 10’s, Top 5’s, overall entries, whatever…#1’s…Madonna has the most Top 10’s for women and Mariah has the most #1’s for women…these are the facts of life and I don’t know why you came in here today trying to dismiss Mariah! You will DEAL cause I’m not backing down from what I HAD SAID WAS ?
Madonna is Queen, boo. Sorry you cant accept that lmao.
https://www.billboard.com/charts/greatest-hot-100-women-artists
Madonna is the GOAT. HOWEVER, Mariah has More number 1’s and more Diamond Album sales. Mariah will go down in History as the Greats Female Vocalist of All time when her time is said and done.
Lmao nope, that title belongs to Whitney, thats why shes called The Voice.
Sorry Girl but Mariah has two number ones in UK
Madonna has thirteen
Kylie Minogue has eight
Janet has 0 but 17 top 10 hits
Beyonce has four
Shes not the queen of Billboard Hot 100, she came in at #2 on their Greatest Women of All Time list.
LIKE I SAID, the Queen Of Billboard remains unbothered and unmatched! Who else has 18 #1’s…bye boo lol
https://tenor.com/view/mariah-carey-songbird-gif-10255761
And like I said, she is not. #2 is not Queen. I SAID WHAT I SAID. https://www.billboard.com/charts/greatest-hot-100-women-artists
@Gworl gone, Mariah will always be Queen when we’re talking about overall #1’s, most cumulative weeks at #1, how long she sipped tea while staying at #1, when she woke up how many days she was at #1, most times she ate bonbons while being #1, #1, #1, #1, and still more #1’s…damn, #1 and mo’ #1’s…shiiit, you still #1? THAT BISH THAT STAY AT #1…
https://tenor.com/view/mariah-carey-songbird-gif-10255761
As long as Biilboard exists sweetie, Madonna will always be the #1 Hot 100 Female of All Time, no matter how many essays you write lmao.
https://www.billboard.com/charts/greatest-hot-100-women-artists

https://tenor.com/view/mariah-carey-songbird-gif-10255761
to me even if his song goes past 16 weeks it does not count in my eyes Mariah Carey did not have to remake her song over and over and over again in order to maintain interest in one Sweet day the one song just played on the radio and people listen to it week after week that’s the difference
https://tenor.com/view/mariah-carey-songbird-gif-10255761
???
get the hell off this page talkin about that thief you call Beyonce b**** don’t nobody here give a f*** about that lying Fake and manipulative F** hating b**** that you f*** seem to give all praise to and she really don’t like your ass remember her Mama put her in check about not treating you f***’s badly because you f*gs are her money bag….wow how you forget… LMAO.
i mean ok… https://youtu.be/oMp58oVociw
Exactly no one wants to hear that, I agree with her.
Mariah’s career goes far beyond that one record. Maybe back in the day she would have been bothered who knows. But at this point… and if he gets a 1/4 of her career then props to him.
Someone named the Despacito song. He was kind of a one hit wonder wonder worldwide. Like Psy. And the list goes on.
But he already had a career in latin markets if I’m not mistaken. So it’s not like he’s going back to nothing.
That’s the difference with Lil Nas X, he’s a totally new artist so he has to build everything and last.
lmaooooo damn all this, lets talk about roach flopping harder than ever in the uk with only 940 copies sold and now shes battling Nas for the #4 spot next week lmfaoooooooooooooo
I heard Kylie Minogue’s Greatest Hits Step back in Time outsell her in UK ???????
hahahaha!
#Loves It Darling
I hope he breaks the record. I’m a chart purist and historian, and I find this exciting.
However, he is not exactly breaking MC & and B2M’s record for One Sweet Day, in the same way that End of the Road (13 weeks) did not break Elvis’ record with (Don’t Be Cruel/Hound Dog, 11 weeks). The atmospherics for topping the chart for One Sweet Day were very different in the mid-90s versus today. Streaming did not even exist back then, and the charts were calculated differently.
I think it is valid to say, however, that if he makes it to week 17 at the top, Lil Nas X will be breaking the record held by Despacito.
Despacito is a very blring/bland record idk how it almost beat one sweet day, it’s nothing special or unique.
Ole tiwn road can not be discredited because of the “TIMES” If anything it’s HARDER to go #1 now cuz only a minum talent is required which makes the achievment more Elusive ESPECIALLY for a Brand new artist like nasx
lmaooo gurl shut up and explain why your bug fave FLOPPED HARD with only 949 copies sold lmfaooooo ? ?? ?
949 is way more than 460!
