Not sure.....my guess would be Petula Clark
Mariah Carey
No, Mariah Carey still holds the female artist with the most number one singles.
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.
The question is about #1 single in the world, not world chart, so, it's Ayumi Hamasaki:Record: Only female and solo artist with 30 number-one singlesRecord: Only female and solo artist with 40 TOP 10 singlesRecord: Artist with most #1 singles within consecutive years (10).These information are from 2008.
The first was Petula Clark

Probably Mariah Carey, who has had 18 number 1 songs. But it should be noted that Madonna has had the most top-10 singles, with 38 of them.
In total Queen have had 17 number one hits and and 18 number one albums.
