Drake will be at 180 by the end of the month when his entire album debuts on the Hot 100 album release week.

I'm sure he will pass Glee eventually.

[Gary]

This list also would have Elvis higher - up around the current Drake numbers....Either way, Glee is still #1

What I'd be more interested is a Hot 100 Entries per Capita list. Having a lot of songs chart is an accomplishment, but eventually if your career is long enough, you can make that accomplishment overly inflated. Meanwhile if we knew the ratio of songs that charted out of singles / songs released, then that could be a more interesting statistic.

[Sherane Lamar]

I'd be interested in seeing a version of this list that only includes songs as the primary artist, and not ones where they are Featuring/And/With/etc.

It would also be interesting to see the list when the criteria is upped to songs with 8 (or something?) weeks, minimum, on the chart.   Not that one and two week hits aren't hits or shouldn't count overall, but to give a better idea of more memorable lasting hits vs. short lived debut and fall off quick hits.

But these lists are really just conversation pieces for geeks like us anyway.

Could you update the OP?

Also, which Nicki Minaj songs charted most recently? 

Are you referring to "Rich Sex" and "Bed"? Or are you referring to "Rich Sex" and "Big Bank"?

Hot 100 Chart Moves: Nicki Minaj Makes 'Bed,' Feat. Ariana Grande, Her 91st Hit, Tying James Brown's Total

Minaj also extends her record sum among women. Plus, Taylor Swift's "Delicate" rises at radio & Kanye West collects his 92nd entry via a Nas feature.
As previously reported, XXXTentacion posthumously tops the Billboard Hot 100 (dated June 30), as "Sad!" jumps from No. 52 to No. 1 for its first week atop the chart. The song, which had first peaked at No. 7 on March 31, reaches the summit after the rapper/singer died June 18 at age 20 after being shot in Deerfield Beach, Florida.

XXXTentacion is the first artist to rule the Hot 100 posthumously in a lead role since The Notorious B.I.G., with "Mo Money Mo Problems," in 1997.
Meanwhile, other acts make noteworthy Hot 100 chart moves.

"Delicate," Taylor Swift
"Delicate" dips to No. 27 from its No. 25 Hot 100 high, but the fourth radio single from reputation ties for the 2017 set's highest peak on the Radio Songs chart, where it rises 9-5 (83.5 million in audience, up 14 percent in the tracking week, according to Nielsen Music).

Lead reputation single "Look What You Made Me Do" hit No. 5 on Radio Songs last October. Follow-ups "…Ready for It?" and "End Game," featuring Ed Sheeran and Future, reached Nos. 17 and 15, respectively.
"Bed," Nicki Minaj feat. Ariana Grande

The collab bows at No. 43 on the Hot 100, powered by its 39-11 vault on Digital Song Sales (19,000 sold) and No. 42 arrival on Streaming Songs (12 million U.S. streams) following its first full week of tracking.



The pop-leaning song is the third offering from Minaj's album Queen, due Aug. 10. In April, "Chun-Li" hit No. 10 on the Hot 100 (becoming her 16th top 10, the most among female rappers), while "Rich Sex," featuring Lil Wayne, spent a week at No. 88 on the June 23-dated chart.
With "Bed," Minaj extends her record for the most Hot 100 visits among women and ties James Brown for the seventh-best sum overall, dating to the chart's Aug. 4, 1958, launch.

Prince had 47 Hot 100 entries (and that's only counting the multiple chartings of "1999" as one entry, and also excludes the re-entries after his passing). Michael Jackson had 50.
