With the debut of "H.A.T.E.U." at No. 76 on this week's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, Mariah Carey becomes one of only five women to reach 50 career entries in the history of the survey.

Here are the five top female format luminaries and their total chart appearances:

98, Aretha Franklin
58, Mary J. Blige
51, Diana Ross
50, Mariah Carey
50, Dionne Warwick

Is this a good thing?

Mary J has released 58 singles, that's very surprising?

Or are they counting the feat's as she's been on at least 20 like that?

I think she has around 50-52 singles in total
The other 6 or 7 are probably are featured singles or radio-only singles that charted

Yep, just went and checked. 50 sinles and 8 radio-only promo singles.

I wanna see the Males list. James Brown has at least 300 singles.
