Mariah Carey Rises With Type Dangerous Hit
Mariah Carey’s “Type Dangerous” Storms the Charts, Marks 16th Adult R&B Top 10 Hit
Mariah Carey is proving once again why she’s a musical force to be reckoned with. Her latest single, “Type Dangerous,” has officially climbed into the top 10 on Billboard’s Adult R&B Airplay chart, marking her 16th top 10 entry on the list — a testament to her enduring relevance and artistry across generations.
Co-written and produced by the ever-versatile Anderson .Paak, “Type Dangerous” blends contemporary R&B with nostalgic flair, sampling the iconic Eric B. & Rakim classic “Eric B. Is President.” The track originally debuted at No. 15, quickly gaining traction thanks to its slick production and Carey’s signature vocal finesse.
But the success didn’t stop there. “Type Dangerous” launched at No. 1 on both the R&B Digital Song Sales and R&B/Hip-Hop Digital Song Sales charts, signaling strong digital engagement and fan enthusiasm. The song’s climb reflects not just Carey’s legendary status but also the fresh energy brought in by collaborators and producers.
To fuel the momentum, Carey released a four-track EP titled “Type Dangerous – The Remixes,” enlisting a powerhouse lineup of collaborators including Busta Rhymes, Redman, Method Man, Big Sean, DJ Snake, and Brazilian pop star Luísa Sonza. The remixes add a global and genre-bending twist, appealing to both longtime fans and new listeners.
This latest chart success follows her 2021 top 10 Adult R&B hit “Somewhat Loved (There You Go Breakin’ My Heart),” a standout collaboration with Jam & Lewis that peaked at No. 9. With “Type Dangerous,” Carey shows she’s not just riding the wave of her legacy — she’s still setting the tone for what R&B excellence sounds like in 2025.
Mariah Carey’s ability to reinvent herself while honoring the roots of her sound keeps her legacy vibrant. “Type Dangerous” is more than a hit — it’s a reminder that the Queen of R&B/Pop isn’t done making chart-topping magic.
