Did you know that Nicki Minaj has scored more hit songs on the Billboard Hot 100 than any other female rapper?
Minaj has thus far logged 42 entries on the Hot 100. She is ranked in sixth place among female artists with the most such hits, behind Aretha Franklin (73), Madonna (56), Dionne Warwick (56), Taylor Swift (56), Connie Francis (53), Brenda Lee (48) and Mariah Carey (44).
Ironically, none of Minaj’s songs have ever topped the Hot 100. On the other hand, 12 of Madonna’s 56 entries reached the lineup’s peak and 18 of Carey’s 44 hits have accomplished that feat. Minaj’s highest-charting single was ‘Super Bass’, which stalled at #3.
