seriously?

mariah carey has more number one hits than any recording artist in the world save the beattles only. i find this extremely depressing. don't get me wrong, i have nothing against mrs. nick cannon (except, of course that she married nick cannon. oh, and her boobs are out of control). she has a great voice with an amazing range and that is not to be overlooked, but i cannot believe she is second only to the beatles. call me crazy but i would never, ever, put mariah on the same level as the beatles. i mean, i totally would have thought that michael jackson (at least) would jump in between the two. maybe elvis or madonna. turns out, the beatles have 26; mariah carey has 15; elvis has 14; michael jackson has 14 as a solo artist, 17 if you include the 3 number ones he had with the jackson five; and madonna has 11. i would hold out hope that mariah we be dethroned sometime in the near future, but the 2 artists with the numbers to make that possible are dead, making this an unrealistic goal for the time being. to make matters worse, ms. carey also holds the record for longest run at number one for "one sweet day" (with boyz II men, whatever happened to them anyway?). the only thing that could be more depressing would be lady gaga somehow worming her way into the mix.
