10 Female Singers Who Have Had Two Hot 100 Top 5 Singles Simultaneously

Published: Thursday 14th Sep 2017 by Rashad

As we reported here, this week saw Taylor Swift achieve the ultra-rare feat of having two Hot 100 top 5 singles simultaneously chart once again in her career.  The first time (in late 2014) the pop diva not only placed two songs in the chart’s topmost quintet of positions, but also made history as the first female to replace herself atop the tally (when ‘Shake It Off’ ceded to ‘Blank Space’).

Fast forward to this week, she’s done it again with her single ‘…Ready For It,’ which debuted at #4 while its predecessor – ‘Look What You Made Me Do’ – continues to occupy the top spot.

As her fans continue to ring in their praises for the accomplishment, we must remind them she’s not exactly alone among females who have known the honor at least once in their careers.  Tuck in below to see a list of other daring divas who can lay claim to the same [solo acts only]:

1.Adele (2012)

2.Ashanti (2002)

3.Beyonce (2003)

Beyonce (2008)

 

4.Iggy Azalea (2014)

5.Madonna (1985)
