Earlier this week, Nicki Minaj made history as the first woman to place 100 songs on the Hot 100, which is a feat she managed in just under a decade?a fact which is truly astounding, as it highlights how quickly she was able to ascend to the throne and become one of the most powerful and popular musicians on the planet.
While she may be the first woman to collect triple-digit appearances on the all-genre Hot 100 songs chart, Minaj isn?t the first artist overall. In fact, she?s the fifth, and she comes in behind the cast of the TV show Glee, Drake, Lil Wayne and Elvis Presley, all of whom managed at least 100 (and some of them twice as many) such successes.
It?s only a matter of time before Minaj and company are joined by another name in the highly exclusive club of those who have charted 100 hit singles or more, but who will be the next to enter that group?
Jay-Z
The legendary rapper looks like an easy choice for the likeliest next member, as he already has 98 Hot 100 appearances to his name. While he doesn?t have any new releases coming in the near future (at least as far as the public knows), he could feature on a song pushed by another artist or even release a surprise track (or even a full collection) at any time, so there?s no telling when he?ll pass the important 100 mark?but it could easily happen in the next year or so.
Kanye West
Fellow rapper and sometimes-friend and collaborator of Jay-Z Kanye West could be up next, or, if he keeps releasing music at the pace he?s been going in 2018, he could become the sixth musician to score 100 Hot 100 placements before his The Throne bandmate. West currently claims 93 singles that have made their way to the Hot 100 for at least one frame, and it won?t be long before two digits become three.
Chris Brown
The R&B/pop musician is one of four names who have at least 90?but not yet 100?appearances on the most important listing of popular songs in the U.S., and he will surely break into that club at some point in the not too distant future as well. He?s not the dominant hitmaker he was at the height of his career, but Brown still doesn?t have much difficulty charting, and 10 more hit singles are sure to be in his future.
Keep An Eye Out For These Artists
Jay-Z, West and Brown seem to be next in line for this honor, but there are others coming up behind them who could join the 100 club soon thereafter?or even before some of them, if things go their way.
Taylor Swift currently claims 77 Hot 100 hits, and she could definitely score more if she wanted to in a heartbeat, though as a globe-dominating pop singer, she?s a bit more methodical, and she lets her eras last for longer than many rappers, so it might be a few years before she breaks 100.
Hip-hop stars Future and Eminem are currently comfortable with 75 and 73 placements, respectively, though those counts are sure to climb in no time. Future is one of the most prolific musicians in the business, and it would be surprising if it took him more than two or three years to break into the coveted region.
Eminem typically spaces his albums out by several years, but as the industry has changed, he?s ramped up his output, and that has helped him increase his count of Hot 100-charting singles as well. With two full albums out in the past year, it?s possible he?ll keep this pace going, and when he gifts his fans with another full-length, chances are much of it will appear on the Hot 100, pushing him ever-closer to triple digits.
Put Respect on Chris' name.
He's a legend.
This is an easier feat to do in 2018 than years back. Elvis really fucking dominated.
Probably Chris. King is always releasing music.
fck elvis
Damn. No other females or female rappers are even close huh?
Guess this isn?t all that easy for anyone
Didn?t know future had so many

It?s really hot and I?m sick of the girls downplaying Nicki. Give her props and move tf on.

I'm sorry but this just isn't impressive to me. Such a lackluster ass accomplishment, especially in the case of Nicki. All those songs and alot of em aren't even top hits. How u got over 100 songs on the hot 100 and only 17 top 10s :dead:
Anyone can hop on tons of songs in the prime of their career. They're in demand. If this was someone like Beyonce, I'd appreciate it more. She's a lil bit more selective about her collaborations. Not on any and EVERBODIES song
Congrats but fuck ha

I agree.
I mean, good for her & all, but I'm just not impressed by this considering how many features she hops on.
This would be cute if it were Rihanna..because well...most of her songs and features are hits... not mess floating in the nether regions of The Hot 100.
Just getting on the Hot 100 is a task in itself these days
let alone doing it 100 times
this is a big feat

Rihanna's too busy slapping 'fas around the Hot 100.
They both play hot potato with Nicki's wig constantly
Future with 75 charting singles?
All these features

I can't.
Get back to me when the songs are MAJOR solo hits.
