During the 2014 World Music Awards, Mariah was honored with the Pop Icon Award while also receiving an honorary award for being the female artist with most number-one singles in the United States. “I don't think of myself as an icon,” she said during the acceptance speech. “All I can say is, from the bottom of my heart, I thank you. World Music Awards has always been so kind to me and I have to, above all, thank God for everything in my life.”
