Chart Check [Hot 100]: Ariana Grande Joins Beyonce, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, & Taylor Swift As the ONLY Female Acts with Over 50 Top 40 Hits

Ariana Grande sees her name penciled in Billboard record books yet again, this time for the warm reception to ‘Brighter Days Ahead‘ (the deluxe edition of her 2024 chart-topping album ‘Eternal Sunshine’).

Already crowned the champion of this week’s Billboard 200 album chart, cuts from the revamped set made handsome entries on the Hot 100 as well – moves that pushed her career-long count into historic territory.

See how inside.

Peruse of the updated Hot 100 sees Grande printed at #18 (‘Twilight Zone‘), #38 (‘Dandelion‘), #42 (‘End of the World‘), #53 (‘Past Life‘), #54 (‘Warm‘), and #59 (‘Hampstead‘).

Collectively, the tunes up her cumulative appearances on the hitlist to 96 – the fourth-most in the chart’s 67-year history among women (behind Taylor Swift – 264, Nicki Minaj – 149, and Beyonce – 106).

Even more impressively, Ari – thanks to ‘Zone’ and ‘Dandelion’ – joins the three divas and Rihanna as the only female acts since the Hot 100’s introduction to amass over 50 top 40 hits.

Most Hot 100 Top 40 Hits (Female)

Minaj – 75

Beyonce – 60

Rihanna – 53

Grande isn’t the only one having a great week on the Hot 100, however.
