Mariah Carey is at it again – No. 1, that is.

"Touch My Body," the singer's first single from her new album, E=MC2, went straight to the top of the Billboard Hot 100.

The achievement marks Carey's 18th No. 1 single, surpassing Elvis Presley's record of 17. She is now poised to surpass the Beatles' all-time high of 20 No. 1 singles.

"Touch My Body" also set a new record of 286,000 downloads its first week.

Carey is scheduled to appear on Oprah April 14 and her album will be released the next day. On April 16, she's set to perform on American Idol.
