Hell hath frozen over

It is being reported today that Mariah Carey, who as detailed previously on the AMI blog could be the dumbest species on the planet, has passed Elvis Presley for the most No. 1 singles on the Billboard Hot 100, and is now second only to the Beatles.

Her 18th chart-topper, "Touch My Body," vaulted her into the position. And why certainly, everyone who likes women would, in fact, like to touch her body, what on God’s green mustache is going on here?

People, we are talking about “The King” being bested by freaking Mariah Carey! At least she was polite about the accomplishment.

"I really can never put myself in the category of people who have not only revolutionized music but also changed the world," Carey told The Associated Press on Tuesday via phone from London.

The hurt was deepened later April 2 when it was reported by Reuters that Presley also was nudged from his standing as the recording artist with the most top-10 hits in the rock era, as Madonna, who loves men with dirty mustaches, surpassed him with her 37th top 10, "4 Minutes."

The track clocked a jump from No. 68 to No. 3. Prior to the establishment of the Billboard Hot 100 roster in 1958, the industry standard chart was the Best Sellers in Stores tally, where Presley scored his first 12 top 10s.

Regardless, at least we’ll always have silent photos of Carey (like this at left) and these guys to enjoy.

About afroman

The name “Abe Froman” is most commonly recognized as the ubiquitous and unseen character who’s identity is briefly assumed by actor Matthew Broderick in the film “Ferris Beuller’s Day Off.” However, Abraham Froman is much more. Dr. Froman, a Capricorn, began his career with AMI as an intern, and after receiving his certification in nuclear mustacheology in 2006, transitioned his role into the organization’s Director of Logistical Intelligence, focusing on research, government relations, intelligence gathering, grass roots advocacy, and song writing. On October 25, 2008, he will ascend to the role of Chief Executive Officer. “I am honored to assume the chair held by Drs. Snor and Perlut previously,” Froman said. “The Mustached American people need leadership, and I pledge that AMI, under my stewardship, will continue to provide it at a time when it is so desperately needed.” Dr. Froman has said that his future goals for AMI are to create satellite campus’s overseas and to develop an annual event, to be known as "The Million Mustache March," each year in St. Louis, concluding under the world’s largest mustache – St. Louis’ Gateway Arch. Froman formerly lived in the Chicago area where he ran a museum dedicated to the "Karate Kid" series of films starring the indefatigable Pat Morita. As Abe likes to say, "One can never tire of Pat Morita." Dr. Froman is also a periodic contributor to joesportsfan.com.
