We love Mariah Carey, and as a record breaker and the queen of the Billboard charts, what a moment it was when she received the Icon Award of the 2019 Billboard Music Awards. We take you to that moment in this week’s Pop Culture Rewind.

Nothing belongs together like Mariah Carey and the Billboard charts.

Mariah Carey:
Thank you, Billboard, for letting me grow up on the charts with you.

Evan Burke:
The legendary vocalist has amassed a record 19 No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, the most of any solo artist, which is why at the 2019 VMAs, she received the iconic award.

Mariah Carey:
To anybody who doesn’t allow themselves to be broken and keeps getting up and keeps holding on and keeps standing tall, keeps on believing and keeps rising, I celebrate you tonight.

Evan Burke:
The humble queen gave the crowd a true lesson in self-love after going through a medley of her biggest hits like “Emotions” and “Hero.” But we all know Mariah is just as known for her lovable diva personality as her high notes. Queue this viral moment … I just want to know who caught the tissue.

Mariah Carey:
There’s been a few memes …

Evan Burke:
We are all Taylor Swift in Mimi’s presence. We’ll have another huge moment for you next week in our Pop Culture Rewind.
