It’s an interesting evolution from the days when jukeboxes counted into the total. In recent years, Billboard and other chart services have begun to factor streaming into the mix when compiling stats for the Hot 100. In addition to The Beatles and The Bee Gees, that group includes Ashanti, Usher, Akon, T-Pain, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne (twice!), Adele, Iggy Azalea, Justin Bieber, The Chainsmokers, and Cardi B, as well as a few of the remaining artists on our list. 4 hit by The Game with 50 Cent credited as a featured artist.ĥ0 Cent is part of an elite club of artists who have had three or more songs in the Top 10 at the same time. Rapper Curtis Jackson, aka 50 Cent (or Fiddy if you’re qualified), notched three tunes in the Top Five during March of 2005.

“Candy Shop” by 50 Cent (Uploaded to YouTube by 50 Cent) (“Live Your Life” and “Whatever You Like” in 2008) the Black Eyed Peas (“Boom Boom Pow” and “I Gotta Feeling” in 2009, when both songs would occupy both slots) Pharrell Williams (“Blurred Lines” and “Get Lucky” in 2013) Iggy Azalea (“Fancy” and “Problem” in 2014) The Weeknd (“I Can’t Feel My Face” and “The Hills” in 2015) and Justin Bieber (twice in 2016 with “Sorry” and “Love Yourself” in February, followed by “Despacito” and “I’m the One” in July). Among the others are Puff Daddy (with “I’ll Be Missing You” and “Mo Money, Mo Problems” in 1997) Ja Rule (“Ain’t It Funny” and “Always on Time” in 2002) Ashanti (“Foolish” and “What’s Luv?” in 2002) Nelly (“Hot in Herre” and “Delimma” in 2002) Usher (“Burn” and “Confessions Part II” in 2004) Mariah Carey (“We Belong Together” and “Shake It Off” in 2005) Akon (who did it with “I Wanna Love You” and “Smack That” in 2006 and “Don’t Matter” and “The Sweet Escape” in 2007) T.I. 2 trick, but not with Outkast’s staying power. 1 on its own.Ī number of other artists have managed to pull off the No. When their runs at the top ended, “Hey Ya!” had spent nine weeks at the top, while “The Way You Move” caught one week at No. 1 spot, with “The Way You Move” locked in at No. One single from each half, “Hey Ya!” and “The Way You Move,” saw release in the fall of 2003 both quickly raced up the charts. It was an interesting experiment, too, as each member was essentially responsible for half of the set (Big Boi guided Speakerboxxx, while Andre 3000’s half was The Love Below). 2, but this was their first disc to top the charts.

They’d taken three previous albums to No. The Atlanta hip-hip duo of Andre 3000 and Big Boi made history with their 2003 double album Speakerboxxx/The Love Below. “Hey Ya!” by Outkast (Uploaded to YouTube by OutKast) 1 hits (“Stayin’ Alive,” “Love Is Thicker Than Water,” “Night Fever,” and “If I Can’t Have You”). On the back of this, Barry Gibb became the first songwriter to have four consecutive No. 2 songs with “Night Fever” and “Stayin’ Alive.” For the Hot 100 in the week of March 25, five of the Top 10 songs were either performed or written by the band: “Night Fever,” “Stayin’ Alive,” “If I Can’t Have You” (performed by Yvonne Ellman), “Emotion,” and “Love Is Thicker Than Water” (a solo hit for the youngest Gibb brother, Andy). With the release of that film and soundtrack, the Brothers Gibb dominated much of the year on the charts. The Bee Gees were an undeniable hit-making machine, and that was never truer than during the Saturday Night Fever era. “Night Fever” by The Bee Gees (Uploaded to YouTube by beegees) Before the charts were re-codified as the Hot 100 in 1958 - to create one unified chart of the most popular tunes - there were three chart systems used to track success: “Best Sellers in Stores,” “Most Played by Jockeys” (aka Radio Airplay), and “Most Played in Jukeboxes.” In October and November of 1956, Elvis dominated on the Best Sellers and Airplay lists with his one-two punch of double-single “Hound Dog”/”Don’t Be Cruel” at No. You had to know that The King would figure in somewhere. On the 55th anniversary of this achievement, we wondered about other acts that came close to repeating this incredible musical feat. 5 (“I Want to Hold Your Hand” and “She Loves You” had already hit No. By April 4, The Beatles occupied the top five slots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart simultaneously with “ Can’t Buy Me Love“ at No. From there, The Beatles exploded into massive popularity that propelled a previously unfathomable chart accomplishment.

The British Invasion began in earnest that February, when the Fab Four appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show three times that first appearance was watched by 73 million people.
