The question is about #1 single in the world, not world chart, so, it's Ayumi Hamasaki:
These information are from 2008.
Mariah Carey Has 21 #1 Hits.
However - (corrected) Ayumi Hamasaki from Japan has 30 number 1 hit singles, and also has 40 top 10 singles. :)
I believe it's Madonna, with 13 number one hits.
Mariah Carey has the most number one Billboard hits

I think Taylor Swift. Shes gotten lots of awards, sold lots of albums, done concerts worldwide. I'd have to say Taylor. Actually Dolly Parton has had the most number one songs, having 25 No. 1. Second on the list is Reba McEntire with i believe having 24.
Number 8 rank of number one country songs of all artists, Dolly Parton with 25 as of February 14, 2007, is number one for females. Source: http://countrymusic.suite101.com/blog.cfm/george_strait_hits_the_top_again She is tied with Reba Mcentire for most # 1's. Reba also has the most top 10's
The Beatles had the most number ones by far with six, totalling 18 weeks at number one. There was one week during the 1960s (not sure if it was '64) when all five of the top five songs were Beatles songs.
Dolly Parton has had 25 songs reach number 1 on the charts. Infact she has had more number 1 songs than any Female singer in history. This is another reason why she is regarded by many as the greatest Female singer of all time. She is also the only singer in history to have had a triple number 1 hit. That song was I will always love you. Some of the other songs that she has had number 1 hits with are. 9 to 5, Jolene, Here you come again, Islands in the streem and Coat of many colours. She is also the only singer to have had atleast a top 10 hit in each of the last 5 decades. There really is no other singer like her and it is very unlikely that there ever will be.

There is actually a tie for the second most number one singles. Elvis Presley and Mariah Carey each have 18 number ones.

Whitney Houston must have sung most songs. She is a Hollywood singer who has tremendous number of songs to her name. In India Kishore Kumar was the one.
