At the top of 2024, only 15 hitmakers could boast having charted over 100 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 over its 65-year history.
In the nearly 8 months since the year kicked off, four more hitmakers have added their names to that hallowed list – 21 Savage, Beyonce, The Weeknd, and, this week, Eminem.
Details inside.
As reported here, Em’s 12th studio album – ‘The Death Of Slim Shady (Coup De Grâce)‘ – made a historic entrance atop the updated Billboard 200 this week.
The opening was supported largely by the performance of 16 of its 20 housed tracks that impacted the Hot 100. Look below to see where each song landed.

Together, the previously uncharted cuts pushed his overall Hot 100 appearance count to 112.
Among rappers, only Travis Scott (116), Lil Baby (141), Nicki Minaj (148), Kanye West (157), Lil Wayne (186), Future (199), and Drake (333) can boast having more.
Before Em, The Weeknd (born Abel Tesfaye) was the last artist to join the coveted count of stars with over 100 Hot 100 hits thanks to the Future and Metro Boomin-led ‘Young Metro,’ ‘All To Myself,’ and ‘We Still Don’t Trust You.’
Now with 101 Hot 100 entries to his credit, Tesfaye joins Chris Brown as the only Black male singers on the historic list.
