00:00 We love Mariah Carey.
00:04 And as a record breaker and the queen of the Billboard charts, what a moment it was when she received the Icon Award at the 2019 Billboard Music Awards.
00:15 We take you to that moment in this week's Pop Culture Rewind.
00:28 Nothing belongs together like Mariah Carey and the Billboard charts.
00:32 Thank you, Billboard, for letting me grow up on the charts with you.
00:36 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 BBMAs, she received the Icon Award.
00:48 And 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.
01:01 The humble queen gave the crowd a true lesson in self-love after going through a medley of her biggest hits like "Emotion"
01:07 I am emotional
01:11 and "Hero."
01:12 But a hero lies in you
01:15 But we all know Mariah is just as known for her lovable diva personality as her high notes.
01:21 Cue this viral moment.
01:23 Oh my God.
01:24 I just want to know who caught the tissue.
01:26 There's been a few memes.
01:28 We are all Taylor Swift in Mimi's presence.
01:34 We'll have another huge moment for you next week in our Pop Culture Rewind.
