Mariah Carey has held the record for the most Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 singles by a female artist since 1997.
Nearly three decades later, no one has surpassed her.
Thank you @nytimes for this incredible honor. All I ever wanted to be known as, before anything else, is a songwriter. Being in the company of the genius songwriters on this list is an honor all on its own. Thank you @danamo for the illuminating interview, and @VictoriaMonet for your beautifully generous words. It means more than you know.
