Debuting a song on the Billboard Hot 100 is a milestone in any artist’s career. As Billboard’s flagship songs chart, earning even one entry often requires a combination of widespread popularity, audience demand and the right momentum at the right time.
The Hot 100 ranks songs based on a blend of U.S. streaming activity (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data. Sales include purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital retailers, while digital singles sold through direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.
Since the chart launched on Aug. 4, 1958, more than 8,000 artists have earned at least one Hot 100 entry. Of those, only 23 acts have reached the elite 100-hit milestone.
Elvis Presley, whose career predated the Hot 100’s launch, became the first artist to reach 100 career entries, achieving the milestone in May 1975 with “T-R-O-U-B-L-E.” He ultimately finished with 109 total Hot 100 hits and held the all-time entries record for decades. That mark was surpassed in 2011 by the Glee cast, which expanded to a record 207 entries before being overtaken by Drake in 2020, when “Oprah’s Bank Account” earned him his 208th career entry.
Drake now leads all artists with 402 total Hot 100 entries in his career (through the chart dated Aug. 15, 2026) and remains the only act in history to reach 400 (or even 300) songs. Only three others have crossed the 200-entry threshold: Taylor Swift (277), Future (245) and the Glee cast (207).
Three artists joined the 100-hit club in 2023. YoungBoy Never Broke Again became the youngest artist ever to achieve the feat, reaching the mark at age 23 in May. Lil Uzi Vert followed in July after releasing Pink Tape, while Travis Scott joined that August following the arrival of Utopia.
Four more artists reached the milestone in 2024. 21 Savage became the 16th act to do so after releasing American Dream. He was followed by Beyoncé after Cowboy Carter, The Weeknd through guest appearances on Future and Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You, and Eminem after releasing The Death of Slim Shady (Coup de Grâce).
Two artists joined in 2025. Bad Bunny became the first Latin act to reach 100 Hot 100 entries after releasing Debí Tirar Más Fotos, while Morgan Wallen became the first core country artist to reach the milestone following I’m the Problem.
And in 2026, J. Cole entered the club after releasing The Fall-Off, and Ariana Grande joined after dropping petal.
As for who could be next, the artists approaching the century mark include Gunna (99 entries), Lil Durk and Young Thug (98 each), Post Malone (97), Rod Wave (93), Kendrick Lamar (92), James Brown (91), Metro Boomin (88) and Juice WRLD (86).
Although reaching 100 Hot 100 entries remains a rare accomplishment, the milestone has become increasingly common in the streaming era. Since streaming data was incorporated into the chart methodology in 2007, blockbuster album releases have frequently sent large numbers of tracks onto the Hot 100 simultaneously. That differs from earlier decades, when artists generally promoted one radio single at a time in a marketplace driven primarily by physical sales and airplay. The shift in consumption has made it easier for artists to accumulate large numbers of chart entries over shorter periods.
Here’s a look at every act to chart 100 or more songs on the Hot 100, as of the chart dated Aug. 15, 2026.
