Mariah Carey’s Milestone New Top 10 Bestseller

For more than half a decade, all of Mariah Carey’s musical releases have been disconnected from a typical album campaign. She has focused more on maximizing her earnings during the holiday season, when her smash “All I Want for Christmas Is You” becomes the biggest song in the world. In recent years, she has also paired with a number of superstars for one-off collaborations, remixes, and similar projects.

The celebrated singer-songwriter has finally officially kicked off a new era, as she begins promoting her as-yet-untitled sixteenth album with a new single, “Type Dangerous.” The track becomes a quick bestseller in the United Kingdom this week, helping the chanteuse reach a milestone number of wins on every tally it touches.

Mariah Carey’s New Top 10s

“Type Dangerous” debuts on two rankings in the U.K. this frame. The song opens at No. 8 on the Official Singles Downloads chart and No. 9 on the Official Singles Sales list, as fans rush to buy the latest from Carey upon its arrival.

Mariah Carey’s Career Smashes

Throughout her career, Carey has scored only a few top 10 wins on both of these tallies — but that’s largely because they were introduced long after many of her biggest smashes had their heyday. That type of performance is not uncommon for even the most prominent musical acts from decades past.

“Type Dangerous” is her seventh top 10 on the list of the most downloaded tunes in the U.K. and just her fourth on the all-encompassing Official Singles Sales chart.

“Type Dangerous” Marks Mariah Carey’s Return

While she hasn’t promoted a new album in more than half a decade, it has only been a few years since Carey last collected a top 10 on both of these lists. In 2022, she joined rapper Latto on “Big Energy.” Carey was credited on a remix that interpolated her own song “Fantasy,” blending the two hits, which both sampled Tom Tom Club’s “Genius of Love,” and turned the new take into a top three success on both U.K.-based purchase-only rankings.

Mariah Carey Hits New Milestones on the Sales Charts

As “Type Dangerous” arrives, Carey earns her milestone tenth win on the Official Singles Sales chart. The new arrival is also her twenty-fifth success on the Official Singles Downloads chart.

Amazingly, even though it’s June, “All I Want for Christmas Is You” manages to return to one tally in the U.K. as “Type Dangerous” debuts. That seasonal favorite reappears on the Official Physical Singles chart at No. 79, perhaps helped onto that list by the excitement around the singer’s latest cut. It will almost surely make its way back later this year when December arrives.
