Beyoncé’s 106 career Hot 100 hits are the 13th-most overall and the third-most among women, after only Taylor Swift (232) and Nicki Minaj (148). (She charted 14 additional hits as a member of Destiny’s Child in 1997-2005, and five as half of The Carters in 2018.)
Here’s a look at all 17 artists in the 100 Hot 100 Hits club:

Of Beyoncé’s 106 career Hot 100 hits, 61 have reached the top 40; 24 have hit the top 10; and nine have gone to No. 1.
Thanks to their guest appearances on Cowboy Carter, eight artists earn their first Hot 100 entries: Tanner Adell, Willie Jones, Tiera Kennedy, Linda Martell, Reyna Roberts, Shaboozey, Brittney Spencer and Beyoncé’s daughter Rumi Carter. At six years old, Rumi is now the youngest-charting female artist in Hot 100 history. She breaks the record previously held by her sister, Blue Ivy Carter, who was seven when she debuted as featured on Beyoncé, SAINt JHN and Wizkid’s No. 76-peaking “Brown Skin Girl” in 2019.
Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things” is the biggest song in the world, as it rebounds for a sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Global 200. It also holds atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart for a seventh total` week at the summit.

The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate.

Beyoncé isn’t the only member of her family breaking Billboard chart records this week. Thanks to her guest appearance on her mom’s “Protector,” Rumi Carter is officially the youngest-charting female artist in Billboard Hot 100 history, at 6 years and 9 months old.
The song, from Beyoncé’s album Cowboy Carter, debuts at No. 42 on the streaming-, airplay- and sales-based Hot 100 (dated April 13) with 11.3 million official U.S. streams earned in its opening week (March 29-April 4), according to Luminate.

Rumi surpasses her older sister, Blue Ivy Carter, as the youngest-charting female artist to reach the Hot 100. Blue Ivy debuted at 7 years old in 2019, thanks to her featured appearance on Beyoncé, SAINt JHN and Wizkid’s No. 76-peaking “Brown Skin Girl,” from The Lion King-inspired album The Lion King: The Gift.
Still stoking any sibling rivalry, Blue Ivy remains the youngest artist ever to appear on any Billboard chart, thanks to her featured appearance (under the billing “B.I.C.”) on dad Jay-Z’s “Glory” in 2012. The song reached No. 63 on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and No. 23 on Hot Rap Songs. The song includes Blue Ivy’s breaths and coos recorded just after she was born.
While Rumi is now the youngest-charting female artist in Hot 100 history, dating to its 1958 start, she’s not the youngest-charting artist overall. That records belongs to Jordy, who debuted just 5 years old in 1993 with “Dur Dur D’être Bébé!” (translation: “It’s Hard to Be a Baby”).
Rumi and Blue Ivy’s parents, Beyoncé and Jay-Z, are of course longstanding hitmakers on Billboard’s charts. Beyoncé has charted 106 total songs on the Hot 100 (the third-most among women), this week surpassing Jay-Z’s 105.
Meanwhile, Rumi and Blue Ivy Carter join a long history of siblings who have charted on the Hot 100, a club that includes Miley, Noah and Trace Cyrus (plus their dad, Billy Ray Cyrus); Barry and Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees (which included fellow brother Maurice); Janet, Jermaine, La Toya, Michael and Rebbie Jackson (along with the Jackson 5); Jaden and Willow Smith (and dad Will Smith); and Carnie and Wendy Wilson, via Wilson Phillips (daughters of Brian Wilson of the Beach Boys).
Beyoncé makes history as her new LP, Cowboy Carter, blasts in at No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart dated April 13.
The superstar becomes the first Black woman ever to have led the list, which began in January 1964.
Plus, as three songs from the set rank at Nos. 1, 2 and 3 on the Hot Country Songs chart, Beyoncé becomes the first woman to claim the survey’s top three spots simultaneously. Among all acts, Morgan Wallen achieved the feat four times in 2022-23, including the top nine the week that his album One Thing at a Time made its chart debut.
Released March 29, Cowboy Carter earned 407,000 equivalent album units in the United States in the week ending April 4 – the largest week of 2024.
Cowboy Carter boasts a diverse lineup of billed guest artists, including Tanner Adell, Beyoncé’s daughter Rumi Carter, Miley Cyrus, Willie Jones, Tiera Kennedy, Linda Martell, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, Post Malone, Reyna Roberts, Shaboozey and Brittney Spencer. Among the many additional players on the album: 070 Shake, Jon Batiste, Ryan Beatty, Gary Clark Jr., The-Dream, Rhiannon Giddens, Paul McCartney, Pharrell, Robert Randolph, Nile Rodgers, Raphael Saadiq, Sara Watkins and Stevie Wonder.
Notably, while Beyoncé is the first black woman in a lead role to lead Top Country Albums, multiple prominent Black acts are on the various artists set Rhythm Country Blues, which led for a week in March 1994. The LP includes Natalie Cole, Gladys Knight, Patti LaBelle, The Pointer Sisters and The Staple Singers.

Parton led Hot Country Songs for a week in February 1974 with her original “Jolene,” marking the second of her 25 career No. 1s. She charted a second version of the song (which she self-penned), by Pentatonix featuring Parton, that hit No. 18 in October 2016.
Plus, on Billboard’s Country Airplay chart, Beyoncé’s “Jolene” arrives at No. 56 with 982,000 impressions. “Texas Hold ‘Em,” ranks at No. 37, after reaching No. 33 (3.2 million).
Here’s a recap of Beyoncé’s eight top 10s on the latest Hot Country Songs chart:

In all, Beyoncé charts 16 tracks from Cowboy Carter on Hot Country Songs, including “Protector,” with daughter Rumi, at No. 11, and “Tyrant,” with Parton, at No. 12.

“It’s only 1 o’clock, but it’s 5 somewhere, ain’t it?,” Teddy Swims marveled to Billboard after “Lose Control” crowned the Hot 100. “I called my beautiful mother [and] said, ‘We did it.’ I couldn’t be more grateful. I feel so protected. I feel like God’s favorite kid right now.”
Timberlake Back in Top 10
Justin Timberlake’s “Selfish” bumps 11-9 on Pop Airplay, becoming his 19th solo top 10, and his first since “Can’t Stop the Feeling,” which ruled for three weeks in 2016, marking his eighth No. 1.
He first hit the top 10 on his own with his debut solo single, “Like I Love You,” which reached No. 4 in 2002. (*NSYNC, with Timberlake as a member, tallied nine top 10s in 1998-2002.)

‘Loompa’ Lands
Also on Pop Airplay, Jagwar Twin’s “Bad Feeling (Oompa Loompa)” dances in at No. 38.
The act, a.k.a. Brandon Wronski, released the song, which reworks the classic “Oompa Loompa” from the 1971 movie Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, Dec. 15 – the day that Wonka, starring Timothée Chalamet, premiered. The new version (released independently of Wonka) has surged on TikTok and reached No. 24 on the Hot Alternative Songs chart in January.

“It has been pretty incredible to see the overnight viral success of the song because it’s fun, it’s funny and it doesn’t take itself too seriously,” Jagwar Twin told Rolling Stone.
The Wonka soundtrack, which includes two new interpretations of “Oompa Loompa” by Hugh Grant, has hit No. 3 on Kid Albums and No. 6 on Soundtracks, expanding the history of Wonka-related music on Billboard’s charts.
