She added to Allure magazine: "I have three personal assistants just to keep up with my schedule."
Mariah's new single 'Touch My Body' looks set to reach number one in the US charts, which would equal The Beatles' record for the most number one singles.

The books were made into a hit film in 1964 starring Julie Andrews and Dick Van Dyke.
