Ariana Grande achieves her 9th pop radio #1 hit with "Die For You Remix". 

She thus ties P!nk, who also has 9th #1s. Only Katy, Rihanna and Taylor have more.

Oh wow, she was credited?

this must mean the remix is actually getting some significant airplay because this never happened with SYTremix, she could tie for #1s with her next album 

[Green]

When Die For You reached #1 on Pop Radio the remix wasn't even released. It doesn't count for Ariana as a radio #1

I go by how Billboard credits things and they count "Die For You" and its peak for Ariana.

Congrats to Taylor. How many of her songs hit #2? I wanna know how many more she could have had with just a little more push.

Dua Lipa achieves her 5th pop radio #1 hit with "Dance The Night". 

[superben]

How did Mariah have so few #1s, even though her team mastered the payola game in the 90s? Was it because most of the hits were in another format, not pop?

[Odette Violet]

Miss Giselle, Miss Grande, Miss Brittany 

 

 

Congrats to all the Women

Because Billboard Pop Airplay started in October of 1992.

 

Mariah had 8 Pop Radio #1's between 1990 and June of 1992 that aren't included here:

 

Song	Peak	Pk Date	Wks at Peak	Entry date	Weeks on chart
Vision of love	1	7/27/90	3	6/8/90	15
Love takes time	1	11/16/90	2	9/14/90	17
Someday	1	2/22/91	4	1/11/91	15
I don't wanna cry	1	5/17/91	3	4/5/91	14
Emotions	1	10/4/91	3	8/23/91	13
Can't let go	1	1/10/92	3	11/8/91	13
Make it happen	1	4/17/92	2	2/21/92	13
I'll be there	1	6/12/92	6	5/15/92	14
