Alicia Keys is undoubtedly Billboard’s millennium R&B Queen.

The best-selling female R&B artist of the century, she’s long dominated the organization’s related music tallies – a reign highlighted by a whopping eleven #1 hits on the ‘Adult R&B Song’ chart (more than any other artist), seven #1 hits on the ‘Top R&B/Hip Hop’ album chart, and eight #1 hits on the ‘R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay’ chart.  Pertaining to the latter, Keys previously held as the list’s leading female until this week when her ‘Put It in a Love Song’ partner Beyoncé – courtesy of her co-starring role on Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘Savage’ – raced in for a tie.

The lift on this week’s chart, which occurred thanks to 27.3 million in radio audience impressions, made the Houston natives return female artists to the chart summit for the first time in nearly a year (following Cardi B‘s 2019 hit ‘Please Me’).

The result?  Keys & Bey share the title as the ‘R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay’ queens with 8 chart-toppers each.  As we celebrate the win, look inside to see who joins ‘Savage’ on that chart and the Hot 100 on this week’s ‘Chart Check.’

Drake‘s record-breaking relationship with the Hot 100 is absolutely unprecedented.

Beyond having more entries on the tally than any other artist in history (over 200), he’s also the first male act to have seen three of his singles debut at #1 on the chart over the course of his career (as we reported here), only artist to concurrently place 7 songs in the top 10 (as we reported here), most top 10 debuts (23), and only artist to have 27 simultaneous entries.

Now, after breaking King of Pop Michael Jackson‘s Hot 100 record for ‘most weeks at #1 among males’ and ‘most top 10 hits among males,’ Drizzy is poised to dethrone Queen of Pop Madonna from her longstanding record.

Just a month after making history with the #2 Hot 100 debut of ‘Yummy’ (as we reported here), the lead single from his latest Billboard 200 chart-topper, ‘Changes,’ Pop singer Justin Bieber has extended a recently established record thanks to the impressive sales and streaming performance of its follow-up, ‘Intentions.’

Produced by Poo Bear, the Quavo-assisted cut debuted at #11 on last week’s Hot 100 (becoming his 29th top 20 single in the process).  Now, thanks to a handsome mix of sales, streaming, and radio play, ‘Intentions’ has ascended to the tally’s topmost dectet this week – an accomplishment that is accompanied by quite the honor.

After earning the first Platinum hit of his two decade long career with ‘When We’ – the lead single from his 2017 studio effort ‘Savage’ – fans of R&B singer Tank were anxious to see if the success could be duplicated for its follow-up.

Released courtesy of Atlantic Records on October 25, the new album – ‘Elevation’ – not only featured a sonic formula akin to that of its predecessor, but also upped the ante with its guest list as it featured some of Urban music’s most respected names including Chris Brown, Keith Sweat, JoJo, Luke James, and many more.  Coming as his ninth solo studio effort, ‘Elevation’ was preceded to chart battle by its singles ‘Dirty’ and ‘I Don’t Think You’re Ready’ – the former boasting a brief tenancy at the #1 spot on Billboard’s Adult R&B charts.

Yet, many feared all of that momentum was derailed when the Grammy nominee rocked headlines for controversial comments he made regarding homosexuality just days before the album’s debut (click here to read).  Was it enough to scare off his predominantly female fan base?

16 weeks is how long newcomer Lil Nas X has held the racehorse that is ‘Old Town Road’ ahead of the competition on the Hot 100.

Keeping the likes of serial hitmakers Taylor Swift, Chris Brown, Drake, Ariana Grande, Ed Sheeran, and many more at bay with the megahit, the steam behind the 20-year-old’s breakout tune has been a mix of controversy, record breaking streaming, and a sh*t ton of remixes (including a new version featuring BTS‘s RM).

Renaming the joint ‘Seoul Town Road,’ in reference to the South Korean capital city of Seoul (where BTS first came together), the move may be just what X needs to edge past Mariah Carey (‘One Sweet Day’) and Luis Fonsi (‘Despacito’) to nab the title for ‘longest run at #1 in Billboard Hot 100 history.’

As we wait with bated breath to find out, look inside to hear the umpteenth remix of ‘Road’ and see who joins Lil Nas in the top 25 on this week’s TGJ Chart Check:
