Has anyone seen the Empire State Building with its top 33 floors lit up, peach, purple and cream before? No!

Has any female performer ever had 18 number ones on Billboard before? No!

Then put the two together and there’s the answer!

This weekend, upon questioning various people in Manhattan, I was reliably informed, the ESB was regally lit in purple to celebrate the achievement made by New York’s own diva Mariah Carey, who this week took over the number one spot with Touch My Body

Which has been taken from her latest album, Touch My Body from her latest album, E=MC2

.The record for the most number one positions was previously held by Elvis Presley who found himself there 17 times and by The Beatles who had 21 number one singles and still hold the title as men and as a group.
