In Nicki Minaj’s case, her discography can boast of packing both quality and quantity.
For, while it is yet to deliver a US #1 single, it did churn out several Gold, Platinum (and in some cases Quadruple Platinum) certifications by way of sales generated before streaming data was thrown into the chart mix.
Today, said charts fall at her feet.
Why?
A historical feat below…
She has surpassed efforts made by Beyonce, Diana Ross, Janet Jackson, Britney Spears and Taylor Swift to become the first female artist to have secured as many hits on the Hot 100 as she has.
Put simply? She has more chart entries than any other female artist in music history.
The record was previously held by Aretha Franklin.
Most Hot 100 Entries Among Women All-Time
76, Nicki Minaj
73, Aretha Franklin
70, Taylor Swift
58, Rihanna
57, Madonna
56, Dionne Warwick
54, Beyonce
53, Connie Francis
48, Mariah Carey
48, Brenda Lee
43, Miley Cyrus
41, Barbra Streisand
40, Mary J. Blige
40, Janet Jackson
40, Diana Ross
All three of Minaj’s latest songs were released on March 10, and debut in the top 15 of the Digital Song Sales chart: “Frauds” flies in at No. 2 with 79,000 first-week downloads sold in the week ending March 16, according to Nielsen Music; “Regret” bows at No. 10 (39,000); and “Changed” enters at No. 13 (35,000). The tracks also sport first-week totals of 12.1 million, 4.4 million and 4.8 million U.S. streams, respectively, in the tracking week.
Not bad for an artist many had written off before the release of debut album.
The queen of most entries & no number 1?? Or the queen of fleeing the country to avoid Remy??
Ain’t nobody flee the US for that flee. Respect the queen u peasant
*flea
Looking at Nicki’s catalog
It still feels so uninspired
And when I saw her release 3 songs in a day
LAWD, I knew homegirl was so tired
Before she met her doctor, life was so unkind
Now she’s fake up top and BEHIND
And she doesn’t feel
She doesn’t feel
She doesn’t feel like a NATURAL WOMAN
lol, 76 charting songs and Nicki doesn’t have ONE that I can see her perform when she gets older #NoClassics
Buhahaha @ Fancy. I get my life every time I read your posts.
She’s pure garbage. trash and fill of implants. bleached skin
Is it fleeing when you’re cashing international checks?! I don’t care about the beef, but I understand if she couldn’t be bothered due to appearances, shoots, and shows. I’d clap back after my bookings, also!
Wow… most of those songs missed the top 50. This is not a record. 9 Top 10’s in her entire career.. only 3 of them were actually leads/solo. STOP IT.
Is this something to be proud of with no number 1 and 7000 singles?
Flop! Everyone has at least 1 #1 and has charted at least 40 songs with them as the LEAD! Nicki can’t relate!
KII I was just about to font that!
That billboard hot 100 spot is avoiding Nicki like Nicki is avoiding Remy
This is utter b*******. The bulk of her “charted” singles were forgettable ass features from when she used to saturate the airwaves. The charts are such a joke now.
Only a joke when it comes to someone you don’t like. I’m so glad Nicki made it to the top no matter what anyone said or did.
With no number 1? This is one of the most unimpressive records i’ve ever heard.
#queensh*tonly #deal where the folks at who was saying Rem killed her career? More like Rem killed her own career.
GIRL. We are not impressed lmao! Not one number one out of 70+ singles?! I cannot that is a failure.
Cracka? Lol shut yo ugly a$$ up you don’t know me. Everyone was indeed talking about her how remy did her in. Also how weak her verse was in no frauds
Really cracka? Cuz everyone still talking about Nicki all day every day, so how is her career over?
In b4 some BS about a remy response. Yall say its not about charts ok cool, well this post actually is so lets leave the one who just plummeted Off of them out of the convo 🙂
“You run around the meadow collecting all the low hanging fruit so you may turn around and congratulate yourself for having the most fruit, but all of the fruit is mealy and mushy…..” Azealia Banks
.
LoL ok let’s break this down….. how many of those are “Top 40” , ok on that top 40 how many of those are actually Rap or at least hip hop (Queen of rap right?) And of those half a million singles how many are #1???
WHAT FACKING DRIVEL.
Queen of what?!
are you forgetting Madonna and Mariah Carey also ou of this generation RIhanna is the Hot100 Queen followed by Katy. Please stop confusing Hot100 ENTRIES as HOT100 HITS. they are not one and the same you cuuuuunt.
And to think the barfz were predicting a #1 debut…….
I know is still early to say this but this might be the joke of the year.
You and I both know who the women in that list with REAL monumental success are 🙂
The problem is that nobody will care for her or her music in 10 years.
I actually can’t remember half her songs, and it’s only been like 3 years
KII I cant with the barbz celebrating 70+ failures!
70+ failed attempts at getting a number one????
Even Cara has a number 1 on her very first try!!!! ???
#Ciara
Lol right! That’s what it really means lol
Slay the girls…and hating ass n***** too ONIKA.
#1 or NOT Bihh you ALWAYS chart. And h*** can’t take it. ?????
So you’re proud of peaking at 73 and so on? Lol dumb barbz
Don’t let any of this distract you from the fact that Remy bodied Nicki on Shether
Where? B**** where??! ??????????????
Only the kids believe in St. Nick
You’re Hilarious, Thanks For All the Laughs
You’re Garbage, So I’m Takin’ Out The Trash.
Okay cute but how many of those songs are her songs? How many of those songs are collabs? How many of them are ACTUAL hits that lasted atleast 4 weeks and peaked within the top 40?
?????????
But The 5 singles she released in the past month are flopping.
Evem Remy ma has a #1 single to her name lol. Nicki wants to tell her to get a “hit” when All the Way Up was a smash. She got a top 5, grammy nominated, double platinum single after spending 6 years in prison. Meanwhile, Nicki can’t get online without Safaree
Damn y’all can’t wait throw such hate. When you make it on the charts at all then speak
Queen of billboard? More fake news. More like queen of unforgettable features.
Stop comparing yourself to Jay, you not like him!
You a motherfucking worker, not a boss like Rem!
We All Know Your Last Name’s What Got You A Job,
You’s A Put-Together Gimmick Something Like A Collage,
Since You’re Puttin’ On A Show You’ll Get The Applause(Clap Clap)
Lift Your Frame Like A F*****’ Garage
Why yall so mad? Cause Nicki is winning?
Yall should want to see a black woman being the queen of billboard. #1 Chick in the game dont be mad its not your fav making these moves.
Are you dumb lol *Remy ma voice* ??
No b itch are you how is shining doing?
All three of Nicki’s wack ass clapbacks are free falling off of the charts. So you might wanna leave that topic alone Spongebob
Who’s mad? There is a black woman that is Queen of Billboard. Her name is Aretha Franklin, an actual SOLO HIT maker, not a second hand artist relying on features.
Shes not the Queen anymore sorry that belongs too my fav haha
The gag is Taylor swift is one album away from snatching it from her.
The gag is no one takes Rihanna serious outside of fashion boo yea she has hits but that shaky weak voice is a no
Girl, who is checkin for Nicki Minahhh? Vocals at least Rihanna has her mic on when she sings. Cantsay the same for nick lol have you heard your fav sing? That Minnie Mouse in the throat a$$ B itch let’s not. Barbs got nerve let be clear if drake and lil Wayne wasn’t on these singles they wouldn’t have done nothing.
Is Aretha not a black woman? You mad dumb. Just loudly STFU.
Aretha is old and tired we needed some fresh like Nicki too take that crown.
Lawd even Shawnna has a #1. Why Onika so cursed?
Billboard made a mess out of the charts by changing their rules to help these mediocre “talents” score these so called “records”. More than half of these chicks wouldn’t even be on this list if billboard didn’t start allowing features, album tracks, non singles, etc, to chart instead of actual HITS. The Hot 100 is irrelevant and has been since all this mess started. Only a SMALL handful of the women on this list earned their chart placements with actual SOLO HITS, not features, album tracks, or any of that other mess.
What are yall’s accomplishments? records? Accolades?
Wtf is your aspiration in life? Hating?
You’re so upset. Sitting here with even less accomplishments stanning for a flop with NO NUMBER ONESSSSSS.
*cackling*
This is coming from am unbiased place….sometimes when I read these comments it’s frightening. Because our community would rather tear these Black celebrities down before they give props. Y’all put too much into and on these ladies.
oh please, white folks do the same damn thing to theirs. go take a look at perez hilton or tmz comment section.
Exactly just look how mad Beyonce and the Rihanna fans are mad pressed and stressed because its not their fav who broke the record.
The Bey & Rih Fans Are Not Mad About Havin’ 73 Failed Attempts To Have Number 1 Singles In The Hot 100. Are You Dumb?
queen of billboard? lmao gurl bye. a Queen stands on her OWN, she doesn’t depend on others for a hit.
great for her, she really is out there trying her darn best! But 73 failed attempts is not a record I’m sure she really wanted.
the only impressive numbers there are from rih, Madonna, Janet and Mariah. their entry to top 10 ratios are unbeatable.
Quality Over Quantity! Im Just Sayin’..
All I see is jealous Hive and Navy members hahaha hilarious
Yall been Jealous of Nick this whole time
Jealous? Lol are you dumb ?
Kii! Jealous of what? Failed singles and a k mart collection? Let’s not go there Barbz
You are clearly jealous what list has beyonce topped this year?
Nicki literally worships on the ground that Queen Bey walks on yet we are suppose to be the jealous ones? Like seriously, are you dumb ?? Lol
Navy can never be jealous of Nicki, u are just as dumb as ur fav, are u dumb???( in Remy voice)
Y’all better stop with that rent ma voice s***! I’m dying
Remy***
30/58 top 10s. 14/30 #1. the navy is at the top, we only jealous at the low standards you fave’s stanbase has.
I don’t have a problem with the features, she puts in the work and is in demand and obviously enjoys working with other artists. but it’s a sad fact that the industry doesn’t have another female rapper big enough that everyone keeps coming back to nicki as the default female rapper.
Jealous? You did realize that Rihanna has 58 hits and 30 have been top 10 hits. So rihanna has greater than a 50% chance every time she drops a single to hit the top 10 lmao. Nobody worried about Nicki.
TGJ is working overtime to prop this mess up. I hope she’s at least paying you time and a half.
How can she do that when she’s signed to a 360 deal ?? ?
HA!!! I guess they’ll have to wait until the other 5 people get theirs first. Poor TGJ.
@Tyler did you buy remys album tho?
@spongebarb
Did u buy No Frauds ? Because it’s collecting dust at the bottom of the shelves
They need to put that bird in the Guinness World Records for having the most Hot100 hits without a #1. How she gon earn the best and worst feat at the same damn time? That ratio. LOL! Oh Nicki…you just can’t fight the karma. Money, Power, NO RESPECT!
Didn’t Beyonce call my fav the Queen Of Rap? Bey stans for Nicki Tyler you look stupid as f***.
No, Beyonce says that she GUESSES she can call her the queen of rap lol…and stop trying to hide behind Beyonce. She didnt even defend her own husband in that elevator and you honestly think that shes going to defend St. Nick? Leave the Queen Bey outta this.
Stop tryna seek validation from other entertainers. You’re fave can’t earn respect solo. Michael, Prince & whitney would NEVA.
No number 1. Shameful, captain of c** squad
Even Michelle Williams has a #1. kii
This doesn’t mean too much these days being that most aren’t her songs and not much substance. But nonetheless good for her. Now let’s get a album that is fire and stop with the pop radio stuff if you are “allegedly ” hip hop ??
She’s not hip hop, she’s hip pop.
Or Pop-Hop xD
As soon as taylor release its a wrap.
How about applying critical thinking? How many records did each artist record? During what era? What Hot 100 around at the Aretha’s initial career? How much does streaming, internet, social media affect sales? How many #1’s? How many Grammy’s?
Obviously the ones with IMPRESSIVE success earned single after single when you could only chart one and by your own are (and accompanied by equaly impressive album success):
Aretha Franklin
57, Madonna
56, Dionne Warwick
53, Connie Francis
48, Mariah Carey
48, Brenda Lee
41, Barbra Streisand
40, Janet Jackson
40, Diana Ross
Aretha’s album sales are not impressive at all, she sold less albums worldwide than Rihanna (the one who you are always trying to discredit) despite releasing way more material when there was no piracy.
That´s true but it was compensated with real quality songs that charted without absurd rules and of course the real respect talent wise she was getting 🙂 Overall, she´ll always have more impact and will last longer in music world´s memory than a Rihanna obviously.
So basically just eliminate everyone under the age of 40. Old ass.
Not my fault if nowadays mainstream lacks talent and album power 🙂
Lmao the meltdowns in here are hilarious. Nicki’s success really pisses people off.
Nobody outside of nicki’s brainwashed barbz is happy about this. Check social media. It’s almost universally panned. Do you HONESTLY think she’s that great? Get real!
Lawd even D4L had a #1 with Laffy Taffy (LOL! D4L who?)…when will Nicki? Keep it goin y’all…
“Soulja bwoi off in dis ho3, now watch me crank dat watch me roll…NOW YEWWW!!”
Oh snap, even that wack nicca got a #1…when will Nicki?
This Is Why I’m Hot, This Is Why I’m Hot,
This Is Why, This Is Why, This Is Why I’m Hot.
I’m Hot Cuz I’m Fly, You Ain’t Cuz U Not
This Is Why, This Is Why, This Is Why I’m Hot.
LMFAO
“I’m s*** and I know it!!” Really Onika? How does LMFAO have a #1 and you don’t? Tragic.
Don’t forget bout Party Rock Anthem. That makes 2 #1’s for dem lmfao niccas… LOL
Lol TGJ loves to make excuses for Nikki’s lack of number 1’s & poor album sales. Lawd why did I even come to tho this site is it any wonder yall top posts can’t reach over 100 comments? I see it any wonder yall can’t see the likes of Bawsip?
B***** or any other blogs for that matter!
When I see so much hate being thrown at one person I know the person stays winning. Congratulations Nicki! Keep slaying in whatever form and keep breaking boundaries. It’s hard enough for the Americans not to talk of some one of your heritage.
Just how many of these entries are solo projects as the other ladies she’s being compare to??
I’ll wat…
This is nothing to Bragg about!!
She’s on 1000 features and has yet to obtain a #1 hit on the Hot 100.
And I have 18 number one singles and I’ve spent 79 weeks at number one. That is more impressive dahhling!
I love you MiMi!
And I love you my Lamby ?
Getting this achievement is like getting the full attendance award in school.. the real reward is if her music will be timeless and hold a some sort of a legacy…

most of her “entries” are flops tho. And none peaked #1 but congrats I guess….
I don’t understand how most entries is an accomplishment but ok.
Why are yall comparing Nicki to BEYONCE and RIHANNA??? They are singers who are pass Nicki. No offense though. Whats the deal?
damn Nicki knows how to get the hate out of some folks. look at the hate I bet half of them didn’t even know that were capable of this level of hate,k poor things. anways congratz to nicki.
The hate is warranted. It’s a special type of hate for Nicki because she’s just a horrible and greedy human being. No money or billboard hits can ever cover up the real Onika. It’s called the gift of discernment; don’t be mad because we can see right through the fake.
Billboard is a fraud. They are counting singles that she was featured on as well. Not solo singles. How you expect me to believe Nicki Minaj is the queen of Rap when her first album was crossover Pop? Now we want to act surprised she took more than a week off to work on a whack ass verse for Remy?
Not that I particularly like her, but is y’all going to post about Kandi and Tiny get writing credits for Ed Sheeran’s Shape of You?
Thanks for the tea!
She’s paying yall, I swear!
And she failed exactly 76 times to hit no #1 or get a Grammy. ☠
This headline is a damn lie!!! Queen of Billboard is Mariah MF’n Carey!! Most Hot 100 entries isn’t the same as Most Number 1 billboard chart toppers and seeing as Nicki doesn’t even have 1 damn number 1 single there is too much hype around this 1 Billboard record being broken she hasn’t even reached Aretha’s other accolades on the chart or awards let alone any of the other Billboard Queens who reign over her. This is an accomplishment for the Hip Pop Queen but y’all tried it with that caption!!
The charts need to be revamped to reflect the current state of music sales. You cannot compare record sales in the 50s with the 90s so why are you comparing record sales in the 90s with present day? After 1997, NO song has sold more than 15 million copies (physical CD singles sales – NOT STREAMS). So why are comparing songs with minor monetary success from streaming with physical CD single sales of the past? Seems dumb to me. All of Nicki Minaj’s singles and features on other people’s songs even adds up to 1/10th the amount of money Elton John’s “Candle in the Wind” single made in 1997″ (33 million physical sales) or Whitney’s I Will Always Love You single (20 million) made. So who is the queen of Billboard? The real queens are the divas, Elton included, with the most physical sales that set the sales records in the industry. That includes Mariah, Elton John, Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, and even artists like Britney Spears and Toni Braxton. If Nicki wants to be recognized on the same level Billboard is going to have to make a brand new chart where she can properly be recognized for her sales and not be overshadowed by the selling giants like the aforementioned.
Nicki is an official legend now.. How do you feel haters?
Haterw seethe this is only the beginning
Wow
She still sucks & f***** her way to the top with Dr Seuss SINGLES added to others TRACKS!! ✌??
You mean the most non solo entries on the Hot 100….
Like I said before they are so upset, poor things, fromtNicki been getting from hem from the get go even when she was fully an underground, talking about how her 15 mins is almost up been hearing that from the get go and here she is still, breaking records still being successful regardless of all the negativity she gets.
McDonalds sells billions of burgers too…
