Mariah Carey‘s “Type Dangerous” tops this week’s new music poll.
In a poll published Friday (June 6) on Billboard, music fans chose the superstar singer’s latest single as their favorite new release of the week.
The confident, percussion-heavy track pulled in nearly 70% of the vote, outpacing new music from Sabrina Carpenter (“Manchild”), Ed Sheeran (“Sapphire”), KATSEYE featuring Ice Spice (“Gnarly” remix), Addison Rae (Addison) and Lil Wayne (Tha Carter VI).
“Type Dangerous” marks Mimi’s first proper single in years, and it arrives with all the signature flair Lambs have come to expect. “Looking for the dangerous type,” Carey croons. “I like them dangerous/ That’s my type/ I said I love them dangerous.”
The five-time Grammy winner last released an album in 2018 with Caution, which reached at No. 5 on the Billboard 200. In the days leading up to the new single’s release, Carey teased fans on social media with a glamorous clip of herself in a luxury car, soundtracked by a mystery song. The video also showed a license plate reading “MC16” — a possible hint at her 16th studio album.
Since Caution, Carey has kept busy with annual “All I Want for Christmas Is You” celebrations, as well as anniversary reissues of her most iconic work. Most recently, she marked the 20th anniversary of The Emancipation of Mimi with an expanded two-disc set featuring remixes, bonus tracks and a cappella versions.
Coming in second in the poll was Carpenter’s “Manchild,” which earned 19% of the vote. The track is her first new release since the deluxe edition of Short n’ Sweet dropped in February.
