Bad Bunny notches his second Hot 100 top 10, after "I Like It," with Cardi B and J Balvin, which topped the July 7-dated chart. Drake, meanwhile, extends his record for the most top 10s among solo males and moves closer to Madonna's overall mark; he breaks out of a tie with Rihanna for the third-most top 10s among all artists:

Of his 32 Hot 100 top 10s, Drake posts his historic 12th of 2018. He passes The Beatles' 11 in their breakout year, 1964. That makes another single-year record for Drake, who, with a 29th week at No. 1 this year, passed Usher for the most time on top in any January-December span.

Meek Mill Charts 15 Songs From 'Championships' on Billboard Hot 100

News

By Xander Zellner | December 11, 2018 4:18 PM EST


He also earns his first top 10 hit with "Going Bad," feat. Drake.

As Meek Mill celebrates his second No. 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart (dated Dec. 15) -- thanks to Championships opening with 229,000 equivalent album units -- according to Nielsen Music, the MC lands 15 songs from the set (and 16 in all) on the latest Billboard Hot 100.

"Going Bad," featuring Drake, leads the way at No. 6, earning Meek his first top 10. Drake tallies his 33rd top 10, extending his record for the most among male soloists. Among all acts, Drake trails only Madonna, with 38, and The Beatles, with 34.

"What's Free," featuring Rick Ross and JAY-Z, debuts second-highest from Championships, at No. 20. The track, along with "Bad," earns Meek his first and second top 20 hits.

Meek Mill charts one other song on the Hot 100 apart from Championships: Lil Baby's "Time," featuring Mill, debuts at No. 62. The track appears on Lil Baby's new LP Street Gossip, which debuts at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 (88,000 units). Lil Baby also has a big week on the Hot 100, charting nine tracks.

Here is a look at all 16 of Meek Mill's songs on the new, Dec. 15-dated Hot 100. All are debuts except "Dangerous" (No. 31):

Hot 100 Rank, Title
No. 6, "Going Bad," feat. Drake
No. 20, "What's Free," feat. Rick Ross & JAY-Z
No. 30, "On Me," feat. Cardi B
No. 31, "Dangerous," feat. Jeremih & PnB Rock (up from No. 48)
No. 39, "Uptown Vibes," feat. Fabolous & Anuel AA
No. 54, "24/7," feat. Ella Mai
No. 55, "Intro"
No. 57, "Respect the Game"
No. 61, "Trauma"
No. 62, "Time" (Lil Baby feat. Meek Mill)
No. 70, "Championships"
No. 72, "Tic Tac Toe," feat. Kodak Black
No. 73, "Almost Slipped"
No. 77, "Splash Warning," feat. Future, Roddy Ricch & Young Thug
No. 78, "Pay You Back," feat. 21 Savage
No. 85, "Oodles O' Noodles Babies"

The featured artists on Championships also make notable visits to the Hot 100. "What's Free" earns JAY-Z his 99th total entry and 50th top 40 hit. He becomes the eighth artist to reach at least 50 top 40 titles, tying The Beatles and Rihanna's sums, and is one appearance from becoming the sixth act with at least 100 entries overall, after the Glee Cast (207), Drake (now up to 192, the most among soloists), Lil Wayne (161), Elvis Presley (108) and Nicki Minaj (102, the most among women; she bows at No. 60 with "Good Form," featuring Lil Wayne).

"On Me" earns Cardi B her 24th Hot 100 entry in 2018, tying Lil Wayne for third-most, behind Drake (35) and Travis Scott (31).

"Uptown Vibes" gives Fabolous his first Hot 100 entry since 2013's "Ready" (featuring Chris Brown), which peaked at No. 93. At No. 39, the new track is his highest-charting since 2010's Trey Songz's No. 9-peaking "Say Aah," on which he's featured.

Plus, "Splash Warning" brings Roddy Ricch his first Hot 100 ink. The Compton rapper has appeared on a Billboard chart with one prior title: his debut set Feed the Streets II reached No. 68 on the Billboard 200 dated Nov. 17

1/17/2019 by Xander Zellner

Plus, Chris Brown ties James Brown with 91 Hot 100 hits.
Future scores his 77th entry on the Billboard Hot 100 this week (chart dated Jan. 19), as “Crushed Up” debuts at No. 46. The rapper ties Taylor Swift for the 10th-most Hot 100 hits in the chart’s 60-year history.

Among rappers, only Drake (192), Lil Wayne (161), Nicki Minaj (102), JAY-Z (99) and Kanye West (95) have more entries since the chart’s inception in 1958.
Here’s a look at the acts with the most Hot 100 appearances of all time:
Glee Cast, 207
Drake, 192
Lil Wayne, 161
Elvis Presley, 109
Nicki Minaj, 102
JAY-Z, 99
Kanye West, 95
Chris Brown, 91
James Brown, 91
Future, 77
Taylor Swift, 77
Ray Charles, 75

Notably, “Crushed Up” is Future’s first entry of 2019, and the first single off his forthcoming seventh studio album The WIZRD, which comes out Friday (Jan. 18). Future will likely add to his total number of Hot 100 hits on the chart after next week’s (dated Feb. 2), as that will be the week the album debuts.

Of Future’s 77 Hot 100 hits, 20 have reached the top 40 and two have hit the top 10: “Love Me,” with Lil Wayne and Drake, in 2013 (No. 9) and “Mask Off” in 2017 (No. 5).

Future has earned all his Hot 100 hits this decade. He first entered on the chart as a featured artist on YC’s “Racks” on April 16, 2011. The song peaked at No. 42 two months later.

Future isn’t the only act to make history on the Hot 100 this week. Chris Brown also logs his 91st entry on the Hot 100, tying James Brown for eighth-most all-time, as “Undecided” debuts at No. 35. “Undecided” is Brown’s first Hot 100 hit since “Freaky Friday,” with Lil Dicky in April, which peaked at No. 8. It’s slated to appear on his upcoming ninth studio album Indigo, which doesn’t yet have a release date.

Brown has 14 top 10 hits on the Hot 100, including a pair of No. 1s: “Run It!” (his first charting entry), which spent five weeks at No. 1 in 2005, and “Kiss Kiss,” featuring T-Pain, which logged three weeks atop the ranking in 2007.

Notably, in the same week that JAY-Z earns his 100th career entry on the Hot 100, his daugher, Blue Ivy Carter, earns her first. Beyonce, SAINT JHN and Wizkid's "Brown Skin Girl," featuring Carter, debuts at No. 76 on the latest Hot 100, marking her first appearance on the chart.

While I don't dismiss the achievements of the modern acts, it's truly impressive how Elvis, James Brown, Ray Charles, and Aretha Franklin managed to make so many hot 100 appearances in an era where album bombs were virtually non-existent, not to mention the disadvantage of not having social media and streaming services to further promote new songs.

Four absolute legends 😉

Lil Baby Now Has as Many Hot 100 Hits as Prince & Paul McCartney
3/11/2020 by Trevor Anderson


As Lil Baby’s My Turn starts at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, the album’s mighty streaming numbers prompt a dozen of its tracks to arrive on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time. The 12 new recruits join two previously released singles to give the rapper 14 Turn cuts on the chart at once.

Turn earned 197,000 equivalent album units in the week ending March 5, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, with 184,000 of the sum deriving from streaming activity. The number translates to 261.6 million on-demand streams for the album’s songs, making it the most-streamed album of any single week since Post Malone’s Hollywood’s Bleeding debut frame last September.


Of Lil Baby’s newest Hot 100 entries, “Heatin Up,” a pairing with frequent collaborator Gunna, provides the highest debut at No. 18. The song unsurprisingly boasts the best streaming total of the lot, too, with 26.1 million U.S. streams in the week ending March 5, enough to score a No. 3 entrance on the Streaming Songs chart.
Here’s a full roster of Lil Baby’s dozen Hot 100 debuts this week:
No. 18, “Heatin Up,” with Gunna
No. 23, “Commercial,” featuring Lil Uzi Vert
No. 28, “Live off My Closet,” featuring Future
No. 31, “Emotionally Scarred”
No. 48, “Grace,” with 42 Dugg
No. 54, “Get Ugly”
No. 58, “No Sucker,” with Moneybagg Yo
No. 59, “How”
No. 64, “Forever,” featuring Lil Wayne
No. 78, “Same Thing”
No. 91, “We Should,” with Young Thug
No. 99, “Can’t Explain”
Beyond the new arrivals, Turn lead single “Woah” achieves a new Hot 100 best as it jumps 24-15, one spot above its previous peak, and nabs up the chart’s weekly Streaming Gainer prize. Second single “Sum 2 Prove,” meanwhile, flies 46-26, after having reached No. 16 upon its debut in January.

The Turn debuts push Lil Baby to 47 total Hot 100 hits since “My Dawg” entered in the final chart week of 2017. In that time, only Drake has landed more songs on the chart, with 50.
Notably, Lil Baby now owns the same number of Hot 100 hits as, among others, Prince and Paul McCartney’s post-Beatles solo career. Drake and the Glee Cast share the record, with 207 Hot 100 hits each.
Elsewhere, the avalanche of Turn activity powers Lil Baby to No. 1 on the Billboard Artist 100, his first time atop the ranking.

Drake Breaks Record for Most Billboard Hot 100 Entries Ever
3/16/2020 by Gary Trust

He earns his landmark 208th appearance, thanks to the collaborative "Oprah's Bank Account."
Drake rewrites the record for the most entries ever on the Billboard Hot 100, as he lands his 208th career title on the latest list, dated March 21.




Indirectly helping him earn the honor? Another pop-culture powerhouse: Oprah Winfrey. The track "Oprah's Bank Account," by Lil Yachty, Drake and DaBaby, debuts at No. 89, with almost all its chart points via its 10.5 million first-week U.S. streams in the week ending March 12, according to Nielsen Music/MRC Data, following its March 9 release.

Now with 208 total Hot 100 entries in the history of the Hot 100, which dates to its Aug. 4, 1958, inception, Drake passes the Glee Cast, which banked 207.

Let's recap how Drake made history, and won the race against the former Fox TV troupe.

Notably, late spring 2009 marked a historic turning point, even if it was hardly obvious at the time.

On the Hot 100 dated May 23, 2009, Drake made his first visit, as "Best I Ever Had" debuted at No. 92. Two weeks later, on the Hot 100 dated June 6, 2009, the Glee Cast made its first appearances, as the high school-set TV act's covers of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin' " and Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" bowed at Nos. 4 and 98, respectively. (Concurrently that week, Drake's "Best" bumped from No. 70 to No. 60.)

Drake (who, like the Glee Cast, broke through on a school-set TV show, thanks to his role on Degrassi: The Next Generation, beginning in 2001) has consistently upped his count since his 2009 arrival, spending a record 431 consecutive weeks on the Hot 100 from his first week on the list through Aug. 19, 2017.

The Glee Cast, meanwhile, compacted its 207 Hot 100 entries through October 2013, before the show wrapped in March 2015. The cast (of rotating members) ran up its total by releasing multiple digital tracks, almost exclusively remakes of beloved pop hits, featured in each episode of the Fox series, with first-week fan purchases driving their chart runs.

Through the Hot 100 dated May 16, 2009 (the week before Drake first debuted and two weeks ahead of the Glee Cast's arrival), Elvis Presley led with 108 appearances, dating to the chart's inception (two years after his career breakthrough). Rounding out the top five most frequent visitors to that point: James Brown (91), Ray Charles (75), Aretha Franklin (73) and The Beatles (71).

The Glee Cast passed Presley on the Feb. 26, 2011-dated Hot 100, when it debuted six songs, padding its total to a then-record 113. The act then held the honor by itself for eight years and 11 months until Drake matched the mark on the list dated Jan. 25, when "Life Is Good," with Future, debuted at No. 2; this week, the song dips to No. 3.

Below is an updated look at the acts with the most Hot 100 entries to-date. Due partly to the collaborative nature of hip-hop, with songs often sporting featured acts, several genre stars' totals, including those for Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Nicki Minaj, have swelled in the past decade-plus.

Plus, such acts as Taylor Swift and Justin Bieber, along with Drake, have moved up the leaderboard in part due to multiple debuts in the weeks that new albums of theirs entered the Billboard 200; on July 14, 2018, when Drake's Scorpion opened atop the Billboard 200, he charted a single-week-record 27 titles on the Hot 100, including 25 from the set.

Most Hot 100 Entries All-Time
208, Drake
207, Glee Cast
168, Lil Wayne
109, Elvis Presley
108, Nicki Minaj
107, Kanye West
100, Jay-Z

97, Taylor Swift
93, Future
91, James Brown
88, Eminem
80, Justin Bieber
75, Ray Charles
73, Aretha Franklin
71, The Beatles

Drake boasts five No. 1s among his Hot 100 haul. The Glee Cast tallied three top 10s: its covers of "Don't Stop Believin' " (No. 4, 2009) and Katy Perry's "Teenage Dream" (No. 8, 2010) and original composition "Loser Like Me" (No. 6, 2011).

[thegreatdivine]

I checked and in this week in 2018, he only had 159 Hot 100 hits (Walk It Talk It, Lemon Remix, Nice For What, Look Alive and I'm Upset hadn't been released yet). In 2 years, he's charted 51 songs on the Hot 100.
