The singles discography of American recording artist Mariah Carey consists of sixty–one official singles, six promotional singles and eight other appearances. In 1990, Carey released her self-titled debut album, under Columbia Records. The album yielded four number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, the first being the "Vision of Love". The song was called "one of the most stunning debut releases ever by a pop recording artist," and is credited with inspiring the use of melisma throughout the 1990s.[1][2] The song also reached number one in Canada and New Zealand. While a commercial success, "Vision of Love", won the 1990 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.[3] Mariah Carey yielded three succeeding US number one singles; "Love Takes Time", "Someday" and "I Don't Wanna Cry". "Emotions", the debut single from the album of the same name, was released in 1991, and became Carey's fifth chart topper in the US, as well as her third number one single in Canada. In 1992, she released an EP titled, MTV Unplugged. The album's lead single was a cover of the Jackson 5 classic, "I'll Be There", which topped the charts in the US, Canada, and the Netherlands and became her second chart topper in New Zealand. Carey's cover of Harry Nielsen's "Without You", from her 1993 Music Box album, became her highest charting single throughout Europe, topping the charts in The Netherlands, New Zealand, Switzerland and was her first number one in Germany and the United Kingdom.[4] Aside from "Without You," Music Box yielded other successful singles, such as the US number one hits "Dreamlover" and "Hero"; one of Carey's most inspirational ballads.[5] "Hero" charted well outside the US, reaching number two in New Zealand and peaking within the top five in Canada and France.

In 1994, Carey released the holiday album, Merry Christmas, which produced the Christmas classic, "All I Want for Christmas Is You". The song became one of the best-selling singles by a non–Asian female, and the best-selling Japanese single of 1994, selling over 1.1 million copies.[6] Additionally, "All I Want for Christmas Is You," was called "one of the essential musical hallmarks of the holiday season," and is the only holiday song and ringtone to reach multi-platinum status in the US.[7] The song performed well outside the US, peaking at number two in Australia and the UK. In 1995, Carey released her fourth studio effort, Daydream. The lead single from the album, "Fantasy", topped the charts in Australia, Canada, New Zealand and the US, and reached the top five in France and the UK. The song became Carey's first single to debut at the number one position in the US.[8] Daydream heralded her most successful song in the United States, "One Sweet Day", a song written with and featuring Boys II Men. The song spent sixteen weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in 1996, and holds the record for the most weeks atop the Hot 100 in history.[9][10] In 1997, Carey released her sixth studio album, Butterfly. The album's lead single, "Honey", topped the charts in the US and Canada, and reached the top five in New Zealand, Spain and the UK. The song became Carey's third single to debut at number one on the Hot 100, making her the artist with the most number one debuts in the charts history.[8] In 1998, Carey released her first compilation album, Number 1's, which yielded the duet with Whitney Houston, "When You Believe". The song performed moderately in the US, peaking within the top twenty. The song however, charted much higher throughout Europe, reaching the top five in France, the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK. Rainbow, Carey's seventh studio effort, was released in 1999. "Heartbreaker" served as the album's lead single, and became Carey's sixth chart topper in New Zealand and peaked within the top five in France and the UK.

In 2001, Carey released her eighth studio album Glitter, which was the soundtrack album to the film of the same name. The album's lead single "Loverboy", performed well in the US, peaking at number two, and moderately elsewhere, reaching the top ten in Australia and Canada. The album's second single, "Never Too Far", performed dismally on the charts, peaking outside the top forty in most European markets, and outside the Hot 100 in the US. In 2002, Carey released her ninth studio album, Charmbracelet. "Through the Rain", the album's lead single, performed weakly in the US, peaking at number eighty-one. The song fared better in Europe, where it reached the top ten in the Netherlands, Switzerland and the UK. Carey's tenth studio effort, The Emancipation of Mimi, was released in 2005. The album's second single, "We Belong Together", became her highest charting single of the 2000s, topping the charts in the US and Australia, peaking at number two in the UK, and reaching the top five in the Netherlands, New Zealand and Switzerland. At the end of the 2000s decade, "We Belong Together" was listed by Billboard as the most successful song of the decade. In 2008, "Touch My Body", the debut single from her album E=MC², became Carey's 18th chart-topper on the Hot 100, making her the solo artist with the most number ones in the charts history.[9] The song charted well outside the US, where it reached the top three in Canada, New Zealand and Switzerland, as well as the top five in the UK. In 2009, Carey released her twelfth studio album, Memoirs of an Imperfect Angel. The album's second single, Carey's cover of Foreigner's classic "I Want to Know What Love Is", became the longest-running number-one song in Brazil's singles chart history, spending 27 consecutive weeks atop the chart.[11] The song performed weakly in the US, peaking at number sixty. In Europe however, the song fared better, peaking at number six in France. As of 2009, Carey has sold 17,200,000 physical singles and 13,800,000 digital tracks in the United States, according to Nielson SoundScan.[9] Throughout her career, Carey has spent a record 79 weeks at the number one position on the Hot 100, becoming the artist with the most weeks at number one in US history.[9] Overall, she has 27 top-ten songs on the Hot 100, placing her in fifth place for most top-tens in the charts history.[9]
