Most top 10's Hot 100

[thegreatdivine]

HolidayGuy all depends on how much music he releases this year. I could see a couple more features peaking in the top 10. If not, he'll surpass the record whenever he drops his next album.

[HolidayGuy]

^Certainly so.

25 for Taylor Swift

[Gary]

With "Lover," Swift scores her 25th Hot 100 top 10, tying Elvis Presley for the 10th-most top 10s all-time (with Presley's career having predated the chart's 1958 inception). The acts with the most Hot 100 top 10s: Madonna, 38; Drake, 35; The Beatles, 34; Rihanna, 31; Michael Jackson, 30; Mariah Carey, Stevie Wonder, 28 each; Janet Jackson, Elton John, 27 each; and Presley and Swift, 25 each.

With 'Lover' Title Track, Taylor Swift Ties Elvis Presley For 10th-Most Billboard Hot 100 Top 10s All-Time
9/3/2019 by Gary Trust

'Lover' leaps 19-10, becoming her 25th top 10.
Taylor Swift tallies her 25th top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, tying Elvis Presley for the 10th-most top 10s in the chart's history.

The pop queen matches the King of Rock and Roll as "Lover" surges from No. 19 to No. 10 in its second week on the streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot 100 (dated Sept. 7). The song bounds by 81% to 29.1 million U.S. streams in the week ending Aug. 29, according to Nielsen Music, after its official video arrived Aug. 22.

As previously reported, Swift's new album Lover, released Aug. 23, launches at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart with 867,000 equivalent album units (679,000 in album sales).

Janet has 24 of her 27 top 10 hits peaking at 5 or higher, that’s crazy.

[thegreatdivine]

Gary Drake reaches 17 top 5 hits with Toosie Slide's debut, right?

Is there a list out there of EVERY artist on the Hot 100 who has had 10 or more Top 10 hits?

You're forgetting that Life Is Good peaked at #2 marking his 16th top 5 hit and now, Toosie Slide debuting at #1, marks his 17th top 5 hit.

My apologies sir - you are correct

The different show through here

More longer running hits for Drake
Also due to 1st week streaming more songs from Drake that did not stay around as long

[badrobot]

I know that a lot of all time charts adjust total points based on different eras, but are there any longevity charts that make these adjustments?

By that I mean, is a song spending 20 weeks on the chart in 1990 equivalent to like 30 weeks on the chart in 2020 or something? And I mean that in the “relative to other songs at the time” sense.

Seeing that Drake chart with weeks at certain positions made me realize how hard it is to use those numbers given the vastly different chart climates of the 80s/90s vs 00s/10s.

[HolidayGuy]

^I don't think there are any weighted charts ranking tracks by number of charted weeks. That would be factored into the all-time weighting system anyhow, with recent times being weighted lower than bygone eras.

Given his rate of releasing material, Drake eventually may well end up with the most Hot 100 top 10s as a lead act.

That is insane. I think her 7 Top 5's from an album is by far the hardest Billboard record to beat.

[renaboss]

Maroon 5 currently with 15 top 10 hits, having peaked at #2 just this year. Wonder if they stand a chance at making 20.

I kind of doubt it. If you look at Maroon 5’s trajectory, they scored 8 top 10 hits from 2011-2015, but then “only” 4 top 10 hits from 2016-2020. Their last 2 singles proved they can come back for with strong one-off hits, but their hit streak heydays are now behind them. Then again, Maroon 5 has proven us wrong time and time again so who knows.

[thegreatdivine]

Gary could you post a list of all of Post Malone's top 10 hits and the number of weeks they each spent in the top 10?

Also, could you do the same for other acts like Rihanna and Taylor Swift, if possible?

[chartfreak]

Does anyone know besides Madonna if any these artists have had a song peak in each position of the top 10?

[atg]

I bet post malone will completely take over with the most weeks on his 14th or 15th song if he keeps dominating like this
