\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\tDebuting a song on the Billboard Hot 100 is a highlight of any musician\u2019s career. It\u2019s Billboard\u2019s premier songs chart after all, and the stars often must align in order to stand with the best of the best.\n\n\n\n\n\tThe Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.\n\n\n\n\n\tIn total, more than 8,000 artists have landed a song on the survey, dating it the chart’s launch on Aug. 4, 1958. Of those artists, only 16 have charted at least 100 total songs.\n\n\n\n\n\tElvis Presley, whose career predates the Hot 100\u2019s launch, became the first artist to tally 100 total hits. He scored his 100th (of an eventual 109 total) in May 1975 with \u201cT-R-O-U-B-L-E.\u201d He held the record for the most overall chart entries until 2011, when the Glee Cast surpassed him, and then nearly doubled his total \u2014 reaching 207 entries. That record stood until 2020, when Drake stormed past the TV troupe when his track “Oprah’s Bank Account” debuted.\n\n\n\n\n\tDrake now leads all artists with a whopping 328 total entries on the chart in his career (through the Hot 100 dated Feb. 24, 2024). He\u2019s the only artist to chart at least 300 total songs in history. Only two other acts have charted at least 200: Taylor Swift (232) and the Glee Cast (207).\n\n\n\n\n\tThree artists joined the 100-hits club in 2023: YoungBoy Never Broke Again achieved the milestone in May and, fittingly, became the youngest artist to ever reach the feat, at age 23; Lil Uzi Vert became the 14th act to join in July, after releasing Pink Tape; and Travis Scott then joined the club on Aug. 12, thanks to the arrival of his LP Utopia. 21 Savage was 16th artist to join the club, and the first in 2024, thanks to his album American Dream.\n\n\n\n\n\tAs for who might be next in line to join the elite group, the artists just short of 100 career entries are The Weeknd (currently at 98 Hot 100-charted songs), Eminem (96), Bad Bunny (93), Young Thug (93), the late James Brown (91), Lil Durk (91), Beyonc\u00e9 (85), the late Juice WRLD (80) and Gunna (77).\n\n\n\n\n\tWhile it\u2019s rare for artists to chart triple-digit entries on the Hot 100, it has become a more regular occurrence since the ranking began including streaming figures in 2007. As such, some artists have been able to chart a high number of songs on the Hot 100 after releasing high-profile albums. The model contrasts with prior decades, when acts generally promoted one single at a time in the physical-only marketplace and on radio. That shift in consumption helps explain why artists have been able to chart many songs over short spans in recent years.\n\n\n\n\n\tHere\u2019s an updated look at every act to chart 100 or more career hits on the Hot 100, as of the Feb. 24, 2024-dated chart.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n \n

The pop divas have 11 chart-toppers apiece.In 2021, Swift launched her series of rerecorded albums, sending an extended version of a nine-year-old deep cut, \"All Too Well,\" to the top of the chart. At 10 minutes and 13 seconds, it's the longest No. 1 hit in Billboard history. Swift's 2022 single \"Anti-Hero\" became her longest-running No. 1 hit, reigning atop the chart for eight weeks. These 11, however, have seen the most success on the Billboard Hot 100 \u2014 widely considered to be the definitive ranking of best-selling songs in the US. Rihanna, Stevie Wonder, The Beatles, and Whitney Houston are among the elite group of artists who have earned at least 10 chart-toppers in their careers. Keep scrolling to see the top tier of singles artists, ranked from least to most No. 1 hits.

In 2020, she became the first and only artist in history to top the Billboard Hot 100 in four different decades, thanks to the longevity of her 1994 holiday single \"All I Want for Christmas Is You.\" Throughout his illustrious career, Wonder has added nine more hits to the list: \"Superstition\" in 1972, \"You Are the Sunshine of My Life\" in 1973, \"You Haven't Done Nothin'\" in 1974, \"I Wish\" in 1976, \"Sir Duke\" in 1977, \"Ebony and Ivory\" in 1982, \"I Just Called to Say I Love You\" in 1984, and both \"Part-Time Lover\" and \"That's What Friends Are For\" in 1985.",

Taylor Swift earned her first No. 1 hit with \"We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together\" in 2012. It was the lead single from her fourth album \"Red.\"
Swift's fifth album, \"1989,\" spawned three No. 1 singles: \"Shake It Off\" and \"Blank Space\" in 2014, followed by the \"Bad Blood\" remix featuring Kendrick Lamar in 2015.
\"Look What You Made Me Do\" became her fifth leader in 2017, followed by \"Cardigan\" and \"Willow\" in 2020.
In 2021, Swift launched her series of rerecorded albums, sending an extended version of a nine-year-old deep cut, \"All Too Well,\" to the top of the chart. At 10 minutes and 13 seconds, it's the longest No. 1 hit in Billboard history.
Swift's 2022 single \"Anti-Hero\" became her longest-running No. 1 hit, reigning atop the chart for eight weeks.
Finally, in 2023, Swift notched her milestone 10th leader with \"Cruel Summer.\" The song was released as the second track on Swift's 2019 album \"Lover,\" but wasn't officially promoted as a single. After a steady climb, fueled by the success of The Eras Tour and a new push at pop radio, \"Cruel Summer\" reached No. 1 four years after it debuted at No. 29.
Shortly after, \"Is It Over Now?\" replaced \"Cruel Summer,\" bringing Swift's grand total to 11. The vault track from \"1989 (Taylor's Version)\" was instantly identified as a fan favorite and debuted atop the chart.

\n \n 4 (tie). Michael Jackson topped the chart 13 times.\n
Michael Jackson began appearing on the charts as a child with The Jackson 5, but after he struck out on his own, the so-called \"King of Pop\" racked up more hits than any solo artist at the time.
Perhaps most impressively, five out of his 13 No. 1 songs came from the same album (\"Bad\"), setting a record that remains unbroken. (It was tied in 2011 by Katy Perry with \"Teenage Dream\").
Jackson's first chart-topper was \"Ben\" in 1972 when he was 14 years old. \"Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough\" and \"Rock with You\" both took the top spot in 1979, followed by \"Billie Jean,\" \"Beat It,\" and \"Say Say Say\" in 1983; \"I Just Can't Stop Loving You,\" \"Bad,\" and \"The Way You Make Me Feel\" in 1987; \"Man in the Mirror\" and \"Dirty Diana\" in 1988; and \"Black or White\" in 1993.
The rapper notched his first No. 1 hit thanks to Rihanna, when their collaboration \"What's My Name\" reigned atop the chart in 2010.
In 2016, Drake topped the chart again as a featured artist on Rihanna's song \"Work.\" Later that year, \"One Dance\" became his first solo hit to ascend to first place.
He notched three No. 1 hits in 2018 with \"God's Plan,\" \"Nice for What,\" and \"In My Feelings,\" followed by \"Toosie Slide\" in 2020; \"What's Next\" and \"Way 2 Sexy\" in 2021; \"Wait for U and \"Jimmy Cooks\" in 2022; and \"Slime You Out\" and \"First Person Shooter\" in 2023.
Nine of those songs arrived in the chart's top spot, making Drake the artist with the most No. 1 song debuts in history.

Her first No. 1 hit was also her debut single, 1990's \"Vision of Love.\" Her next four singles would also top the chart: \"Love Takes Time\" in 1990, followed by \"Someday,\" \"I Don't Wanna Cry,\" and \"Emotions\" in 1991.
Then came a veritable feast of hit songs: \"I'll Be There\" in 1992; \"Dreamlover\" and \"Hero\" in 1993; \"Fantasy\" and \"One Sweet Day\" in 1995; \"Always Be My Baby\" in 1996; \"Honey\" in 1997; \"My All\" in 1998; \"Heartbreaker\" in 1999; \"Thank God I Found You\" in 2000; \"We Belong Together\" and \"Don't Forget About Us\" in 2005; and \"Touch My Body\" in 2008.
