Who Has Had More Hits--Mariah Carey or Celine Dion?

This one should be close.  Mariah started out like gangbusters but hasn't been able to match her early success since.  Celine Dion spotted Carey a few years head start but has been a consistent hitmaker through the years.  Not only that, but Dion has been far more successful on the Adult Contemporary charts, while Carey's success (especially of late) has been primarily teens.  In other words, Celine's been popular with more than just one small segment of the population.  And let's face it, there are far more adults than teens.  Let's examine the record:
