Today's artists, like Mariah, really don't count. As great as she is, and she is great, the competition is simply not there.

"No. 1" just 'aint what it used to be!

It's amazing how little research any of you have done on this. The Beatles or Elvis weren't even close to having the most # 1's of any genre, whether a group or solo artist. George Strait has the most now (54), surpassing Conway Twitty's long-held record of 50 # 1's

ABBA
