During the 2008 World Music Awards, Mariah was presented a Special Achievement Award for being the solo artist with the most number-one singles in history. “First of all, I have to thank God as always, because this is a blessing. To be here tonight and to be able to live this live that I'm so grateful to live,” she said during the acceptance speech. “I have to thank all my fans for making this possible. As a songwriter, to have eighteen number-one singles and having written most of them, that's an amazing honor.”
