Mariah Carey Rises to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Chart with “In Your Feelings”

Mariah Carey is all in her feelings after earning another chart-topper…

The 56-year-old half-Venezuelan American Grammy-winning singer’s 2025 single “In Your Feelings” rises from the runner-up spot to crown Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart dated December 27.

The track, released and promoted through MARIAH/gamma., ascends as the most-played on U.S. panel-contributing adult R&B radio stations for December 12-18, according to Luminate.

It improved 19% in plays compared to the previous week and wins the Greatest Gainer honor for the list’s largest increase.

With “In Your Feelings,” Carey celebrates a fourth Adult R&B Airplay No. 1. She first claimed the summit via “We Belong Together,” which stitched an eight-week rule in 2005, and followed with six-week champ “Fly Like a Bird” the following year.

After that pair, she closed a 19-year gap between leaders when “Type Dangerous” scored three weeks in charge this August. (She first topped many Billboard tallies when her debut, “Vision of Love,” led the Hot 100 and Adult Contemporary charts dated August 4, 1990.)

“We Belong Together” and “Fly Like a Bird” are from Carey’s 2005 album, The Emancipation of Mimi, while “Type Dangerous” and “In Your Feelings” appear on her latest project, Here for It All.

The set was released in September and debuted at No. 1 on the Top R&B Albums chart.

Plus, as Carey had two other Adult R&B Airplay hits — “Shake It Off” (No. 6) and “Don’t Forget About Us” (No. 12) — in between the “We Belong Together” and “Fly Like a Bird” coronations, the “Type Dangerous”/“In Your Feelings” combo marks her first linking of consecutive leaders on the list.

Elsewhere, “In Your Feelings” pushes 17-12 on the R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, which ranks songs from combined audience totals from adult R&B and mainstream R&B/hip-hop radio stations. There, it improved to 5.5 million in audience, up 21% from the prior week’s total, and captures the chart’s Greatest Gainer prize.

Mariah Carey’s “Type Dangerous” Rises to No. 1 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay Chart

Mariah Carey is back at the top of the charts…

The 56-year-old half-Venezuelan American Grammy-winning singer/songwriter returns to the summit of Billboard’Adult R&B Airplay chart — or any radio-based ranking with a new non-holiday song — for the first time in nearly two decades as “Type Dangerous” glides a spot to No. 1 on the August 16-dated chart.

Mariah CareyCarey earns her third ruler on the tally and first since “Fly Like a Bird” reigned for six frames in July-September 2006. She first led with “We Belong Together” for eight weeks in 2005.

Carey’s 18-year and 11-month gap between Adult R&B Airplay toppers marks the longest stretch for a woman in the chart’s nearly 32-year history, surpassing Janet Jackson’s 17 years and two months between “I Get Lonely” (1998) and “No Sleeep” (2015).

Carey waited the third longest to revisit No. 1 on the chart. Kenny Lattimore holds the all-time mark (25 years, four months and two weeks between “For You” in 1997 and “Take a Dose” in 2023), followed by The Isley Brothers (21 years and one week from “Contagious” in 2001 to “Make Me Say It Again Girl” in 2022).

In between “Fly Like a Bird” and “Type Dangerous,” Carey reached Adult R&B Airplay 13 times, led by the No. 3-peaking “With You” in 2019.

While Carey last topped a Billboard airplay chart with a new non-seasonal single via “Fly Like a Bird,” in between she led Adult Contemporary for four weeks in 2010-11 with “Oh Santa!” Her 1994 chestnut “All I Want for Christmas Is You” has crowned the Holiday Airplay chart for a record 59 weeks through this past holiday season.

Carey first led a Billboard radio chart with her debut smash “Vision of Love,” which ruled Adult Contemporary for three weeks in August 1990.

Meanwhile, the nine-week trip to No. 1 on Adult R&B Airplay for “Type Dangerous” is the chart’s quickest of 2025.

The single has also hit No. 7 on R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay.

Upon its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 in June, it became Carey’s milestone 50th career hit on the chart. She first reached the Hot 100 with “Vision of Love,” which became the first of her 19 No. 1s, the most among soloists.

“Type Dangerous” is the lead single from Here for It All, Carey’s 16th studio album, due September 26. Second single “Sugar Sweet,” featuring Shenseea and Kehlani, is now being promoted to radio.
