\n\tMariah Carey<\/a> returns to the top of Billboard\u2019s Adult R&B Airplay<\/a> chart \u2014 or any radio-based ranking with a new non-holiday song \u2014 for the first time in nearly two decades as \u201cType Dangerous\u201d glides a spot to No. 1 on the Aug. 16-dated chart.<\/p>\n

\n\tCarey earns her third ruler on the tally and first since \u201cFly Like a Bird\u201d reigned for six frames in July-September 2006. She first led with \u201cWe Belong Together\u201d for eight weeks in 2005. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe star\u2019s 18-year and 11-month gap between Adult R&B Airplay toppers marks the longest stretch for a woman in the chart\u2019s nearly 32-year history, surpassing Janet Jackson<\/a>\u2019s 17 years and two months between \u201cI Get Lonely\u201d (1998) and \u201cNo Sleeep\u201d (2015).<\/p>\n

\n\tCarey waited the third longest to revisit No. 1 on the chart. Kenny Lattimore<\/a> holds the all-time mark (25 years, four months and two weeks between \u201cFor You\u201d in 1997 and \u201cTake a Dose\u201d in 2023), followed by The Isley Brothers<\/a> (21 years and one week from \u201cContagious\u201d in 2001 to \u201cMake Me Say It Again Girl\u201d in 2022).<\/p>\n

\n\tIn between \u201cFly Like a Bird\u201d and \u201cType Dangerous,\u201d Carey reached Adult R&B Airplay 13 times, led by the No. 3-peaking \u201cWith You\u201d in 2019.<\/p>\n

\n\tWhile Carey last topped a Billboard airplay chart with a new non-seasonal single via \u201cFly Like a Bird,\u201d in between she led Adult Contemporary for four weeks in 2010-11 with \u201cOh Santa!\u201d Her 1994 chestnut \u201cAll I Want for Christmas Is You\u201d has crowned the Holiday Airplay chart for a record 59 weeks through this past holiday season.<\/p>\n

\n\tCarey first led a Billboard radio chart with her debut smash \u201cVision of Love,\u201d which ruled Adult Contemporary for three weeks in August 1990.<\/p>\n

\n\tMeanwhile, the nine-week trip to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay for \u201cType Dangerous\u201d is the chart\u2019s quickest of 2025.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe single has also hit No. 7 on R&B\/Hip-Hop Airplay. Upon its debut on the Billboard Hot 100<\/a> in June, it became<\/a> Carey\u2019s milestone 50th career hit on the chart. She first reached the Hot 100 with \u201cVision of Love,\u201d which became the first of her 19 No. 1s, the most among soloists.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cType Dangerous\u201d is the lead single from Here for It All, Carey\u2019s 16th studio album, due Sept. 26. Second single \u201cSugar Sweet,\u201d featuring Shenseea<\/a> and Kehlani<\/a>, is now being promoted to radio.<\/p>\n
