Nicki Minaj now owns the record for the most Hot 100 entries among women with 77, passing Aretha Franklin. "Twerks" in celebration: www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/nicki-minaj-twerks-in-red-latex-after-breaking-billboard-record-w473102".....Franklin, 74, held the record for the most Hot 100 entries among women for nearly 40 years, Billboard reported. The "Respect" singer now holds the No. 2 spot, placing her ahead of Taylor Swift (70), Rihanna (58), Madonna (57), Dionne Warwick (56) and Beyoncé (54)." Talk about a loaded record, I'd have to do the research, but a lot of those have to be duets and featuring credits, Unlike Aretha. |

A duet is one thing. Featuring credits don't count, I don't care what Billboard says.

What's sadder is that the act with the most Hot 100 songs is the F'ing cast of Glee even though at least 80 percent of them stayed 3 weeks or less & made the bottom half of the chart.

Also far from counting in my opinion.
For that very reason!

As someone who follows the charts still. I would say maybe 1/3 to 1/2 of Nicki's songs are features but Rihanna has I would say about a dozen or so too. Taylor & Beyoncé benefit from having multiple songs debut the first week of their album is released. BTW along with the Glee cast Lil Wayne has passed Elvis for most songs with a lot of his being features also. A lot of acts benefit from having almost every album track debuting the week it comes out. For example next week the new Drake album "More Life" is going to be the new #1 album & I'm guessing between 15-20 songs from it will debut on the Hot 100 like his last album did.

Of Nicki Minaj's first 72 songs to chart on the Billboard Hot 100, she was the lead singer on 28 of them and featured on 44 songs. Aretha sang lead on all of her Hot 100 songs.

You could count her songs with George Michael & Elton John as duets but still 2 of 72 compared to 29 of 77 (as Nicki Minaj's 5 since then were 2 features on dance songs & the 3 this week were 1 solo & a duet with Lil Wayne & a trio with Lil Wayne & Drake so Lil Wayne picks up 2 songs to get closer to the Glee Cast for 1st but with his lack of new albums I'd say sadly their safe for awhile. if he keeps charting multiple songs from albums I'd give Drake a shot he's had some features but not as many as Nicki Minaj & Lil Wayne. |

This is why the record hasn't truly been broken... Just look at the number of weeks on... I doubt Aretha or Elvis or any of the REAL record holders had many if any Top 100 or Top 40 songs that spent 3 weeks or less on the charts...

To me all this discussion is like comparing old baseball records post season (before 1969 and after)--it is really hard to compare different eras. I think the same applies to the music charts.

An update as 2 more Hot 100 records fall. Drake debuts 21 songs from More Life this week & has 24 songs on the Hot 100 total.
Here's an update on acts with the most Hot 100 songs.
207 Glee Cast
154 Drake (103 lead artist now 3rd behind Elvis & Glee Cast {which I still don't think counts})
135 Lil Wayne
108 Elvis Presley
91 James Brown
87 Jay-Z
82 Chris Brown
81 Kanye West
77 Nicki Minaj
75 Ray Charles
BTW More Life debuted at #1 with 505,000 equivalent album units sold
226,000 actual album sales, 257,000 streaming equivalent albums & 23,000 track equivalent albums.
Damn wasn't it easier when you could just track albums by actual copies sold on vinyl, tape & CD!!

This whole thing is bullPoo. Featuring doesn't count. Neither does songs that spent 3 or less weeks on.
I bet if you added up Elvis' weeks and Glees weeks, even with 100 more entries, Elvis would still pound them in weeks on the chart...

Here you go I went to Billboard's chart search page & typed in Glee Cast & Hot 100. The results those 207 songs spent a total of 259 weeks. They had a total of 3 Top 10 hits their killing of Journey's Don't Stop Believin' made #4, their version of Katy Perry's Teenage Dream made #8 & Loser Like Me (don't know if it was a version of someone else's song & quite frankly don't care) made #6. Funny thing is that Hound Dog/Don't Be Cruel spent more weeks at #1 than their 3 Top 10 hits spent in the Top 10 combined.

Billboard really needs to revise their methodology to get this garbage with no longevity out of the record books.

Truly. I bet I could start at the bottom for Elvis hits and beat out the weeks on charts for Glee without hitting any of his #1 hits.
