American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey has released 90 official singles, 25 promotional singles, and has made 30 guest appearances. Throughout her career, she has earned 19 number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, the most among soloists, with the songs "Vision of Love", "Love Takes Time", "Someday", "I Don't Wanna Cry", "Emotions", "I'll Be There", "Dreamlover", "Hero", "Fantasy", "One Sweet Day", "Always Be My Baby", "Honey", "My All", "Heartbreaker", "Thank God I Found You", "We Belong Together", "Don't Forget About Us", "Touch My Body" and "All I Want for Christmas Is You". In 2009, it was reported that Carey has sold 17.2 million physical singles and 13.8 million digital tracks in the United States.
From 1990 to 1991, Carey became the first and only artist to have their first five singles reach number-one on the Hot 100, losing the streak with her song "Can't Let Go" which peaked at number two. In 1993, Carey found international success after her cover of Harry Nilsson's "Without You", became her first number-one single in several countries across Europe. In 1994, she released her first Christmas album which produced Carey's perennial yule-tide classic "All I Want for Christmas Is You". The song is one of the best-selling singles of all time, and topped the Hot 100 during the Christmas seasons from 2019 to 2025. In 1995, Carey released the number-one single "One Sweet Day" with Boyz II Men. The single found commercial success spending sixteen weeks atop the Hot 100, and held the record for the most most weeks at number-one until 2019.
In following years, Carey released various singles including "Against All Odds (Take a Look at Me Now)" with Westlife in 1999 which became her second chart-topping single in the UK. Following a tumultuous period in the singer's personal life, her ensuing soundtrack and album, Glitter (2001) and Charmbracelet (2002) respectively, failed to gain significant commercial traction, and led to a series of mildly-successful singles. Her highest peak during this time was with Flipmode Squad on the single "I Know What You Want" which peaked at number three on the Hot 100. In 2005 Carey released a come-back album, The Emancipation of Mimi, which saw her earn multiple successful singles including "We Belong Together" which became her strongest international showing in years, topping the Hot 100 for 14 weeks, and breaking several radio airplay records. The song was also listed as the most successful song of the 2000s decade. In the 2010s and 2020s, Carey's singles have seen some success with "#Beautiful" peaking at number 15 and "Oh Santa!" at number 75 in their respective decades. She also featured on various singles including Ariana Grande's "Yes, And?" and Latto's "Big Energy". In 2025, she released the single "Type Dangerous" which became her 50th entry on the Hot 100.
