Chris Brown may have spent most of his career fielding comparisons to King of Pop Michael Jackson, but this week his name is nabbing headlines opposite another musical monarch: King of Rock N’ Roll Elvis Presley.
As fans of the latter continue flocking to theaters to see the Baz Luhrmann-directed movie about his life (starring Austin Butler), the icon’s once-untouchable Hot 100 record was quietly shattered by Chris – a feat assisted by the placement of songs found aboard the 33-year-old’s latest album, ‘Breezy.’
Released June 24 (the same day as the ‘Elvis’ film), ‘Breezy’ breezed onto this week’s Billboard 200 as the 12th top 10 hit of the GRAMMY winner’s career thanks to high-powered streaming activity of its 24 tracks. Some of those tracks landed on the Hot 100 this week, boosting Brown’s appearance count on the tally to an all-time high among male singers.
Details inside:
Brown was already in history books for being the first male R&B singer to claim 100 Hot 100 hits (as we reported here), but now the stageblazer has blazed a new record in Billboard history books.
Thanks to the arrival of ‘Breezy’ tracks ‘Call Me Everyday’ (#76), ‘Psychic’ (#78), ‘Warm Embrace’ (#79), ‘Addicted’ (#92), ‘Possessive’ (#98) this week, Chris claims 112 entries on the chart – surpassing Presley’s longtime record of 109. It is worth nothing Elvis – the first act in history to have 100 Hot 100 entries – did amass hits before the chart’s inception in 1958.
Regardless, the former now becomes the male singer with the most all-time appearances on the Hot 100 specifically. Look below to see who joins him on this week’s refreshed TGJ Chart Check.
#KING OF POP 👑
That pédofile MJ gets surpassed once again. 😂
Michael SURPASSED Elvis & Chris Brown in record sales, GLOBAL IMPACT.
Also Micheal didn’t need 100’s of songs on the Billboard to sell his albums.
Quality over Quantity…
MJ has not surpassed Elvis in record sales you moron. Elvis is still the biggest selling solo artist of all time with over one billion records sold worldwide. MJ has only sold 350 million worldwide!!
LMAO with ZERO Billboard Hot 100 number one songs in the past 13 years of his prime decade. ZERO songs in Billboard top 100 songs of the 2010’s decade end chart. ZERO albums in the top 150 of Billboard top 200 best selling albums of the 2010’s decade end chart. Most of his Hot 100 songs are forgettable entiries at 60 or higher-up that fall off a week later lol SMDH
BTW TRANNYYYYYY stop slandering MICHAEL JACKSON name based off LIES with ZERO evidence. Meanwhile you constantly praise someone who 100% nearly beat and choked a girl to death with a confession and photos to prove it.
When are you MF gonna stop exaggerating about what happened to RiRi. He came nowhere close to almost killing her. You better check the records of your white actors and musicians for that level of beatings. They are called bad boys in y’alls vocab. Keep on lying about C B you Aholes
Chris Brown is irrelevant outside of hood rats in Richmond and low vibrational n***** who have podcasts in their moms basements. He shouldn’t be mentioned in the same breath as MJ. Fat self.
TGJ hall didnt post about normani receiving backlash for being a video vixen in a chris brown video
😂😂😂😂😂💀💀
One sided journalism
Yall are trying to protect her image
😂😂
It’s okay.
The only backlash was in your head
Nobody cared
I want Chris Brown to join Elvis where he’s lying right now!
And those Elvis hit songs were actual hits that stayed on the charts for months and people recognized. Most of Brown’s appearances are drive-by hits. The week an album drops, tons of tracks get streamed and they place. Just because you stunt and manipulate a chart placement for one or two weeks does not make a song a hit.
And he ain’t no Michael Jackson either!
FACTS
You sound salty 🥲

Stop whining you Beach Ball…Chris wrote damn near every song on his Album did Elvis ever do that NO I don’t think so. But I do Love me some Elvis. Stop wishing people death you morron cause it could be You
Elvis never claimed to be a song writer, just stated he was an average singer nothing more. Never claimed to be the king of Rock ‘N’Roll, stated there is only one king God(Jesus). Unlike MJ who demand to be called the king of pop which he was not. Also there are a lot of false rumours going on about Elvis like he stole hound dog from big Mamma Thornton . Did not happen as big Mamma Thornton never wrote hound dog or owned the rights to Hound dog. It was written by two WHITE Jewish men called Lieber and stroller. Also Elvis version of hound dog is different from big Mamma Thornton version. In 1956 while Elvis was in Las Vegas he heard a white group called Fred Bell and the Bell boys performing hound dog. Elvis spoke to Fred Bell and asked permission to covered their version Fred Bell said yes. For more information on the subject look up Spar Guy on YouTube bye!!

YAAAAASSSS B****!!!!! F*** ELVIS
Jealous a******* Elvis way ahead of any other solo performer and groups, only the Beatles are on par with Elvis both have over one billion records sold worldwide, next MJ on 350 million. However, MJ thriller is the biggest selling album of all time!
Trying to figure out how this headline is so over exaggerated.🙄NOT one of these songs is in the Top 10, 20, 30, or even 50. They barely made the The Hot 100. See this is the b******* I’m talking about. Just because he has a FEW of the 24 songs from the album on the charts he’s surpassing Elvis? Cuz MJ surpasses Elvis already. It’s really funny. But this n**** just complained how his album sales have flopped but now he made history with the entries. Make it make sense. 🤦
Congrats chris brown well deserved
Way to go Chris. All haters need to realize we all have made mistakes. He has paid for his and some. He is making beautiful music. He is a legend who will go down in history. If u don’t have forgivenes in your heart, u will be bitter for the rest of. I’m a so proud of u Chris who has surpass ELVIS!!
Another bogus claim as usual anyone with any common sense can only begin imagine how many hits Elvis had in 56 /57 same thing about the top 40 and the same thing about number ones he will never ever be beat in any of them
