Elvis

Considering the latest Billboard top ten article, in which Billboard specifically lists Drake as the tenth artist with at least ten number one singles, I honestly think the time has come for this article to remove Elvis from the "artists with the most number-one singles" table.

Don't get me wrong, I love Elvis. Elvis is great and his achievements are great but he doesn't have 18 (or 17) number one singles on the Billboard Hot 100. He has, last I checked, 7. Everything else that predates August of 1958 is a number one on what today would be considered a component chart. The Hot 100 just didn't exist when Elvis was at his peak.

I'm not saying he needs to be removed from the section entirely but he should be taken off that ranking. I'm fine with adding a note underneath it detailing that *if* his pre-Hot 100 number one singles were counted then he would be in the section but as it is he shouldn't be included in the actual table. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 108.6.195.14 (talk) 20:51, 9 May 2022 (UTC)

Until 2009 (before changing the chart rules) Billboard considered Elvis Presley as having 18 #01 Hits (or 17) as can really be read on this Billboard article.

https://www.billboard.com/music/music-news/mariahs-got-the-touch-with-18th-no-1-1045980/

After Billboard start being bought by Record Labels and changed the rules big time of Hot 100 in 2009 they decided that would not count the single charts before 1958 when the first Hot 100 chart called Hot 100 was created.

The funny things is that rules were more similar in the pre-Hot 100 chart from 1958 to Hot 100 created then comparing to the huge changes that have been hapening to the Hot 100 since 2009.

True that before August 1958 the chart was not called Hot 100 but was still the Official US Single Charts and it does exist.

Elvis Presley started his carreer in 1954 and he charted for the first time in 1955 rising to his highest peak of his carreer in US until 1958. Erasing Elvis previous #01's and TOP 10 Hits from the stats on the HOT 100 article could be accurated to the HOT 100 charts but would be totally misleading concerning the US Official Single Charts (especially when some people compare this US stats to UK stats or Canadian stats that include all Elvis Presley carreer charting years).

Probably 2 different articles/sections on this article could be created:

- one for Hot 100 Billboard Achievements and Milestones

- other for US Billboard Official Single Charts that also includes previous information from pre-Hot 100 charts published by Billboard before 1958 (as Billboard exists since 1894!!!) 95.94.21.149 (talk) 18:03, 4 June 2022 (UTC)

Burl Ives no longer holds the record for the longest break between top 10s, The Ronettes overtook this record in 2022. Be My Baby was their only top ten hit, and hit number 2 in 1963, until Sleigh Ride reached a new peak of 10 during the last week of 2021. That is a new record of 58 years and 2 months according to Billboard magazine. Ry493gr (talk) 13:15, 10 June 2022 (UTC)

Change Burl Ives as having the record of longest gap between top ten hits to the Ronettes who overtook this record in December 2021.

Billboard specifically stated they now hold the record in the following article:

Drake's 18 September 2021 feat also tied The Beatles' feat of occupying the Hot 100's entire top 5 simultaneously on 4 April 1964. So far I have not found that fact anyhere on Wikipedia. Twice I have edited the British Invasion to that effect, only for someone each time to remove that contribution.98.149.97.245 (talk) — Preceding undated comment added 15:09, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

At the end of the "Selected additional Hot 100 achievements" section, it says On the chart dated September 18, 2021, eclipsing milestones listed above that were achieved earlier in 2021, nine songs made their simultaneous Hot 100 debuts in the top 10 (breaking the previous record of five, set less than four months earlier, on May 29, 2021), with Drake as the lead artist on all of them, coming from his album Certified Lover Boy. Drake became the second act, after the Beatles on April 4, 1964, to occupy every position in the top five in the same week. MPFitz1968 (talk) 15:20, 5 July 2022 (UTC)

I stand corrected. How would you respond to Tkbrett who wrote circa 14:59 24 June 2022 that the Drake feat is "not especially relevant to this page" (regarding the British Invasion article)? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.149.97.245 (talk) 20:39, 21 July 2022 (UTC)

 Not done This had been added before a number of years ago and was removed because it was getting into violations of Wikipedia's policy against indiscriminate collections of information. And it's getting into that territory again with the present state of the article with things like most weeks in the top two, top three and top five, making the article quite large. I'm noting Harry Styles' "As It Was" is approaching record territory as far as weeks in the top two is concerned ... that category was supposedly added thanks to the run of The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber's "Stay" in the past year, and someone noting that to Billboard. In addition to it being an indiscriminate collection, Billboard isn't consistent about updating the tallies there in their Hot 100 previews each week, with "As It Was" continuing to accumulate weeks in the top two. (At some point, myself or another editor may be trimming this article considerably regarding these excessive statistics.) MPFitz1968 (talk) 06:17, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

beyoncé - 4 decades

should "Beyoncé is the second artist to do so, with Destiny's Child's "Bills, Bills, Bills" topping the chart in 1999, three number-one hits with Destiny's Child and five in her solo-career in the 2000s, one in the 2010s, and two, "Savage Remix" with Megan Thee Stallion as well as "Break My Soul", in the 2020s." be added to the bullet about Mariah Carey going number-one in 4 decades in the "Additional Milestones" section? beyoncé has now received media coverage of this feat both when Savage remix first topped the chart and again this week as Break My Soul has reached number 1 Griffindaly (talk) 19:02, 8 August 2022 (UTC)

@Griffindaly That technically doesn't count because Beyonce was part of her group so it's separate. A note can be added stating that if Destiny's Child is counted then Beyonce does match Mariah Carey's record but if you simply look at the artist section of this article, then you will see that Billboard bases their record on the artist credit's on the song separate rather than having groups be summed with their members and that Wikipedia puts notes to state when solo artists get the record if they were part of the group. 99.6.253.145 (talk) 04:29, 10 August 2022 (UTC)

Vocal parts in instrumentals

Lawrence Welk's "Calcutta" also has vocal parts ("la-la-la-la-la-la-la"), but so far the article about achievementa and milestones does not have a dagger indicating the same.98.149.97.245 (talk) 16:56, 31 October 2022 (UTC)

When I look at what songs have the dagger in that section, like "TSOP", "The Hustle" and "Fly, Robin, Fly", there's clearly more to the vocal than just the "la" ... definitely solid words and phrases. I'm on the fence about including "Calcutta" - a reliable secondary source is preferred to establish that it has a clear vocal part. If we did include that, I'm concerned we will extend this to "Rise" and "Star Wars Theme", which do have subtle vocals or human sounds, though not as distinct as in "Calcutta".

Regarding a couple of categories of song with most weeks in the top 2 and top 3

I'm bringing this up with one editor, BobbyClare, removing them twice now. It has been reverted because the removal is not explained, but I am kind of in agreement with this editor about needing it removed, on account of their being excessive, non-notable statistics in the greater spectrum of what would be reported in the general media. Even most weeks in the top 5 is likely not notable. A number of other categories may need to be inspected for notability as far as what general media outlets would report from Billboard regarding songs hitting the Hot 100. Thoughts?

Mariah Carey as the oldest female artist to hit #1 on the Hot 100

Under age records, it says Mariah Carey (age 53 years, 272 days) is the oldest female artist to top the Hot 100, setting this record on December 24, 2022, when "All I Want for Christmas Is You" earned its 10th week at number one. While I don't dispute the age record itself (while also keeping in mind that Carey's birth year around the time of her debut was reported by sources to be 1970), there are two issues I'm currently having with its inclusion:

[1] It is not currently sourced. Of note, Billboard has not brought this up in their preview articles for the Hot 100 for the last two weeks. As per Wikipedia policy, any unsourced material may be removed.

[2] AIWFCIY is Carey's only song topping the Hot 100 in this era, a song she recorded back in 1994 (when she was in her mid 20s). At the very least, an additional note should be included about this. I'd have this same issue if Brenda Lee were to eventually reach #1 with "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree", a song she originally recorded more than 64 years ago. If Carey, or Lee, were to have a contemporary song on the chart that goes to #1, the age record would not need some sort of asterisk. When Cher reached #1 with "Believe" in 1999, the current record-holder for the oldest female artist outside of holiday songs, it was a song recorded within a year or so of its release and charting.

MPFitz1968 (talk) 08:40, 20 December 2022 (UTC)

• Made change to the entry under age records [1]. MPFitz1968 (talk) 18:28, 23 December 2022 (UTC)

• This makes no sense. The record is age when the song hit #1, not when it was recorded (that applies even if a song hits #1 a year after release, for instance). Additionally, no other holiday song has hit #1 on the Hot 100 in over 60 years. The qualifying statement feels unnecessary and biased for this reason as well, particularly as a lead-in statement. Ilovetati91 (talk) 16:52, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

It's gonna come down to what Billboard says about this age record, if/when they do. They still haven't as of the December 31, 2022 chart preview, and as I also pointed out in my original topic post, there is dispute (in sources) about Carey's birth year - even though many are coming around to say 1969 was, the fact that 1970 was originally reported, around the time of her debut, means perhaps not all have gotten the memo. If we used 1970 as the birth year, then there is no age record right now ... Cher is still ahead.

Also, as this remains unsourced in the article (and reminder, all content in the article must be attributable to a source, and challengeable content must be sourced ... which is why I tagged {{cn}} on all the age record statements without a source), anything we put in the article about this (even what I put in) can be viewed as original research. If/when Billboard reports the age record for female artists belongs to Carey (as the oldest), with no asterisks such as have been put in the article ("Excluding holiday songs", "recorded in 1994, when Carey was 25"), we can report it unconditionally. If they include any such asterisks, we will need to report those, too. MPFitz1968 (talk) 20:14, 27 December 2022 (UTC)

Mariah Carey’s first 8 lead singles are all #1s

Mariah Carey is the only artist in history to have the lead single from her first 8 albums all reach #1 (10 of her albums did so, maybe someone else matched or passed her in this, does someone know?) 93.67.88.46 (talk) 21:52, 24 January 2023 (UTC)

The Ronettes having the longest gap between a top 10 single

I think this topic should be added as there is also a section where it talks about an artist's longest gap between No.1 hits. The Ronettes holds the record for having the longest gap between an artist/group's Top 10 Hit with a gap of 58 years. Their first Top 10 hit was with "Be my baby" reaching #2 In 1963 and their latest top 10 Hit was with "Sleigh Ride" reaching #10 in 2021. 112.206.253.211 (talk) 08:19, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

The Ronettes' record was broken this year by Nat King Cole, with a gap of 59 years and 6 months, an achievement which is currently noted in the article. Sbb618 (talk) 11:00, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Diana Ross and The Supremes

The Supremes need to be highlighted somewhere as the first American group to achieve 5 #1 singles in a row. Where Did Our Love Go, Baby, Love, Come See About Me, Stop! In the Name of Love, and Back In My Arms Again. With that in mind, not only are they the first US group to achieve this, they are the first female and first black group to achieve this status. Although not a solo feat for Ross, by default this makes her the first female and first black female to have 5 #1 songs in a row. Quite impressive considering this was the Civil Rights era. Lastly, if you factor in Diana's work with the Supremes and her solo work that gives her 18 #1 songs that she sang lead on. This is not indicated anywhere on this page and should be.

Junior's Farm stats

The stats on Junior's Farm by Wings should be notated.

Junior's Farm left the chart at #17 because the label chose to flip the A/B sides to promote the b-side Sally G. as the A side, meaning Sally G. entered the chart at #17 the week that decision was made. Jgkojak (talk) 16:30, 8 March 2023 (UTC)

Where is Bryan Adams on this list?

Everything I Do… number 1 for 16 weeks 82.19.166.18 (talk) 21:06, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

On the Hot 100 itself, it was number one for only 7 weeks. The sales component of that chart saw that song on top a lot longer (17 weeks, according to the song's article). We report what has happened on the Hot 100, not its component charts. MPFitz1968 (talk) 21:48, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

Most weeks at number two (regardless of whether it peaked there or at number one)

"Kill Bill" by SZA becomes the latest song to achieve at least 10 weeks at number two, as of the chart dated May 13, 2023. That means it is tied with the two songs managing to spend the most weeks in the runner-up spot without ever hitting number one ... "Waiting for a Girl Like You" by Foreigner (1981–82), and "Work It" by Missy Elliott (2002–03). However, "Kill Bill" reached number one on the chart dated April 29, 2023, making it ineligible to be listed in the section's table.

There is a note below the table listing three number-one songs that were at number two for longer than 10 weeks, and two of those have occurred very recently ("Good 4 U" by Olivia Rodrigo in 2021, and "Stay" by The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber in 2022). Should "Kill Bill" get one more week at number two, it would join this once elite club of songs that had only "Exhale" by Whitney Houston on it before mid-2021.

If we were to have both the songs with the most weeks at number two that failed to move up one more position (as it is right now), and the number-one songs with the most weeks at number two, it would no longer necessitate that note at the bottom of the section. I'm in favor of shifting to this presentation. At the rate things are going, that note is starting to pick up more weight with each number-one song that gets added to it. BTW, "Kill Bill" is the tenth song to have a double-digit count of weeks at number-two.

(Updated May 15, 2023) Below is the whole list of 10 songs with the most weeks at number two, regardless of peak, as of May 20, 2023, but inclusion of the number ones will involve two things: its being sourced (e.g., Billboard presenting this list in one of their articles), and WP:CONSENSUS here.

• "Stay" - The Kid Laroi and Justin Bieber (14 weeks, 2021–22) (number one for 7 weeks)
• "Exhale" - Whitney Houston (11 weeks, 1995–96) (number one for 1 week)
• "Good 4 U" - Olivia Rodrigo (11 weeks, 2021) (number one for 1 week)
• "Kill Bill" - SZA (11 weeks and counting, 2023) (number one for 1 week)
• "Waiting for a Girl Like You" - Foreigner (10 weeks, 1981–82)
• "Freak Me" - Silk (10 weeks, 1993) (number one for 2 weeks)
• "Work It" - Missy Elliott (10 weeks, 2002–03)
• "That's What I Like" - Bruno Mars (10 weeks, 2017) (number one for 1 week)
• "Bad Guy" - Billie Eilish (10 weeks, 2019) (number one for 1 week)
• "As It Was" - Harry Styles (10 weeks, 2022) (number one for 15 weeks)

The next question will be, should this be included, whether to put the original table first and then the list with the number ones added in, or the other way around. MPFitz1968 (talk) 17:50, 8 May 2023 (UTC)

Citation for the Stevie Wonder claim

Why not use the source that is used on his page (http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/5740767/lordes-royals-crowns-hot-100) as a citation for that claim? 174.251.65.5 (talk) 22:45, 21 June 2023 (UTC)

Is this referring to his being the youngest solo artist to hit #1? If someone who has a subscription to Billboard Pro can verify that being in the source, it is perfectly fine. Even better if the source weren't behind a WP:PAYWALL (so most anyone could verify, like myself), but it is not required for the source to be free to everyone.

SICKO MODE Status

I noticed that Drake's number of top 10 singles just got updated using my watchlist but I looking at the Top 5 and Top 10 singles list for artists I notice that it doesn't have a disclaimer for "SICKO MODE". For most number ones and cumulative weeks at number one, there is a disclaimer about "SICKO MODE" for Drake, so does that mean that Drake is credited for "SICKO MODE" in the top 5 and top 10 singles part of the artist section but not for the cumulative weeks at number one and most number ones or that it simply has not been added.

See "Incorrect Info" topic above, which is referring to the exact same thing. Again, this is about Billboard's Hot 100 chart, not all its charts combined. As Strait has all those number ones (60+ in total) on their country (songs/singles) chart, he actually has zero number ones on the Hot 100. MPFitz1968 (talk) 02:13, 17 August 2023 (UTC)

under the gap records, you can put the biggest gap between two hot 100 songs excluding holiday songs. That record would go to Ozzy Osbourne (30 years and three months) for the distance between Close my eyes forever ( with Lita Ford) and take what you want ( Post Malone ft Ozzy). second would be Dobie Gray (30 years two months and one week) (drift away and Drift Away( Uncle Kraker cover)). third would be Paul McCartney( 29 years and two weeks). fourth would be Santana (28 years ,seven months and two weeks). fifth would be Beatles (27 years 10 months and two weeks). info: https://www.billboard.com/lists/the-beatles-now-and-then-hot-100-top-10-debut/beatles-get-back-to-top-10-after-27-years/. you can also do a chart talking about the highest re-entries using this (https://www.billboard.com/lists/billboard-hot-100-top-10-re-entries/) TheWikiLlama123 (talk) 21:14, 14 November 2023 (UTC)

In the "Age records" section, it states the following two things:

Michael Jackson (age 11 years, 155 days) is the youngest artist to top the Hot 100. He achieved the record, as part of the Jackson 5, with "I Want You Back" on January 31, 1970., and

French-born Jordy Lemoine (age 5 years, 156 days) is the youngest artist to chart on the Hot 100. He established the record when his song "Dur dur d'être bébé! (It's Tough to Be a Baby)", where he is credited simply as Jordy, entered the chart on June 19, 1993.

It does not say that Michael Jackson is the "youngest artist to reach the Hot 100"; it says that he is the "youngest artist to top the Hot 100". And Jordy is already mentioned as the "youngest artist to chart on the Hot 100". So no changes will be made to the article regarding this. MPFitz1968 (talk) 04:44, 24 December 2023 (UTC)

Olivia Rodrigo got all SEVENTEEN songs from her sophomore album on the chart!

The article already says that: All songs from Guts were in the top 40 on September 23, 2023 RudolfRed (talk) 05:20, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Edit for "Most total weeks in the top two"

As of this latest chart week, "I Had Some Help" by Post Malone featuring Morgan Wallen has spent 16 total weeks in the top two (6 weeks at No. 1, 10 weeks at No. 2) which qualifies it to be included alongside "One Sweet Day", "Shape of You", "We Belong Together" and "I Gotta Feeling". Please change the table to allow "I Had Some Help" to be included. Tfa-20 (talk) 22:42, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

@Tfa-20: I have added the song to the list, but I also needed to tag a citation needed to the entry, as Billboard didn't bring this up at all in their Hot 100 preview for the September 21, 2024 chart. All that was said in the preview was Post Malone’s "I Had Some Help," featuring Morgan Wallen, holds at No. 2 on the Hot 100, following six weeks at No. 1 beginning upon its debut in May. Strange how there's no mention about its top two run, but before, when "Stay" by the Kid Laroi & Justin Bieber set the mark for most weeks in the top two almost three years ago, later surpassed by "As It Was" by Harry Styles, it was certainly huge news to report. There was even a stretch where Gary Trust didn't report the songs that had the most weeks in the top 10 overall, overlooking it when "As It Was", Morgan Wallen's "Last Night", and Taylor Swift's "Cruel Summer", managed to get into the region, but now reporting how Teddy Swims's "Lose Control" has become the song in eighth place in terms of weeks in the top 10 all time. Has me wondering whether we need to reduce the number of lists shown here, because Billboard isn't consistent in reporting these milestones at times. MPFitz1968 (talk) 23:42, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

I wholeheartedly disagree. The lists on this page are EXTREMELY important for chronological posterity. As it is right now, "I Had Some Help" is only 4 weeks away from matching the record for most weeks at No 2. (currently held by "Stay"). The song's achievements might get a second look later on this week. Tfa-20 (talk) 00:04, 17 September 2024 (UTC)
