The new ranking marks the first time in 15 years that a girl group has topped the chart. Billboard magazine cover artist Fifth Harmony earns its first No. 1 on an airplay chart (dated May 21), as ?Work From Home,? featuring Ty Dolla $ign, steps 2-1 on Rhythmic Songs. The song breaks a 15 year drought for girl groups at the top of the list. Not since Destiny?s Child crowned the list in 2001 with ?Survivor? has an girl group reached the chart's top spot. Fifth Harmony becomes the 12th female group overall to top the chart. (The chart launched on Oct. 3, 1992.)
Between 1992 and 2001, these all-female groups led the chart with 21 total songs. Here are the 12 acts that have topped Rhythmic Songs (by number of No. 1s, then alphabetical):
5, TLC
3, Destiny?s Child
2, En Vogue
2, Salt-N-Pepa
2, SWV
1, 702
