Mariah Carey knocked Elvis aka The King, no less for the 2nd spot on having the most #1 hits on the all-time Hot 100 Number 1 list. The Beatles is still holding on to their #1 spot with 20 hits. Mimi’s new single “Touch My Body” from her new album “E=MC2” is yet to hit stores so she still has a chance of knocking the Beatles down from their #1 position. WTG Mariah! .
