All the Acts With Top 10 Billboard Hot 100 Hits in Four or More Decades
Never mind 15 minutes of fame. How about four or more decades? An elite 11 artists have achieved top 10 placements on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart in four or more decades, led by Andy Williams and Michael Jackson, with top 10 ranks in five decades each. Williams extended his top 10 Hot 100 run (1950s, ’60s, ’70s, 2010s and ’20s) thanks to his holiday perennial “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year,” while Jackson (1970s, ’80s, ’90s, 2000s and ’10s) most recently ranked in the region via his featured turn on Drake‘s “Don’t Matter to Me” in 2018. (Jackson also appeared in the top 10 for a week in the ’60s, although not as a soloist; The Jackson 5, with him as a member, first reached the bracket with “I Want You Back” on the chart dated Dec. 27, 1969.) In addition to Williams, four a...

Whitney Houston’s 20 Biggest Billboard Hits: A Look at Her Legendary Chart Career
The late Whitney Houston‘s legacy on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart is legendary. Her biggest single on the Hot 100 chart is her iconic “I Will Always Love You,” from the soundtrack to her 1992 film debut, The Bodyguard. The track spent a staggering 14 weeks atop the list and at the time was the longest-running No. 1 single in history. In celebration of what would have been her 59th birthday on Wednesday (Aug. 9), Billboard has compiled Houston’s top 20 Hot 100 singles, and unsurprisingly, “I Will Always Love You” tops the tally. It is followed by the buoyant “I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me),” which was her fourth of 11 career No. 1s on the list. All 11 of her No. 1 hits are present on the recap (below) and also happen to comprise the entire top 11. Whit...
Olivia Newton-John’s Top 20 Biggest Billboard Hits
Pop icon Olivia Newton-John — who died at the age of 73 on Monday (Aug. 8) — logged an incredible catalog of hits on Billboard’s charts. She claimed nearly 40 entries on the Billboard Hot 100 — including five No. 1s. Newton-John’s all-time biggest hit on the Hot 100 is “Physical,” which spent a whopping 10 weeks at No. 1 on the tally in late 1981 and early 1982. It’s not only her biggest hit, but also the No. 1 hit of the entire 1980s decade — it tops Billboard‘s Greatest of All Time Songs of the ’80s chart — and scored the most weeks atop the weekly Hot 100 of any song that decade. The four-time Grammy Award winner made her Hot 100 debut with “If Not for You” in 1971 and was last on the list in 2010, when the Glee Cast took its c...
The 12 Spiciest Musician ‘Hot Ones’ Episodes, From Lil Nas X to Dave Grohl
If you’re a pop culture fan, there’s no doubt that you’ve heard of “the show with hot questions and even hotter wings,” also known as Hot Ones, which is hosted and was co-created by popular YouTube personality Sean Evans.

Hot Ones has been putting celebrities’ taste buds to the test since 2015, and with more than a hundred interviews on the First We Feast YouTube channel, it’s hard to know where to start. To make things easier, we ...
Beyoncé’s ‘Renaissance’ Controversies, From Kelis Sample to Lyric Changes
Beyoncé’s highly anticipated Renaissance release was full of excitement and dancefloor-ready hits, but did not come without its share of drama. Throughout her seventh album’s rollout, Bey has navigated an unexpected leak, frustrations over interpolations, shade about the number of songwriters credited on the tracks due to those interpolations and post-release lyric changes due to the use of offensive language in the song “Heated.” And while there were a few bumps in the journey, it’s still smooth sailing for Queen Bey, as Renaissance is heading for a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 albums chart with one of the biggest weeks of the year. If it opens atop the chart, it will be the first album released by a woman in 2022 to hit No. 1. All six of her solo studio albums also deb...

Top 50 Dance Remixes of Classic Hits
Sometimes, you just want to listen to a familiar classic you already know all the words to — probably because your parents played it all the time when you were young.
