When the Billboard chart rules are changed, some artists benefit from those adjustments and accomplish feats that were previously impossible. That was exactly the case for the late Whitney Houston who has earned the distinction of being the first female artist to simultaneously land 3 top 10 albums in the history of the Billboard 200.
Katy Perry was unable to break Michael Jackson’s record of 5 #1 songs from a single album on the Billboard Hot 100 but thanks to her high profile performance at the 2012 Grammy Awards, she has found her way to the summit of chart in another respect. However, Perry wasn’t the only Pop star to […]
After an artist’s death, there is usually a sudden resurgence of public interest in that person’s music. That was exactly the case with Whitney Houston who rebounded into the top 10 of both the Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200 as a result of massive sales increases. Yet, even the late diva was not potent […]
Kelly Clarkson sang a beautiful rendition of ‘The Star Spangled Banner’ at Super Bowl XLVI last weekend and now she is reaping the benefits of her efforts. Indeed, US consumers have responded her to voice and awarded her the #1 song on the Billboard Hot 100.

Just when it seemed that Americans finally had enough of Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’, the tune has returned to the top of the Billboard Hot 100. After losing its grip of the peak position to LMFAO’s ‘Sexy & I Know It’, the track has rebounded to the summit of the chart and extended its reign […]
Adele’s ’21′ was an unbeatable force on the Billboard 200 in 2011 and it appears that the album will continue to occupy the upper regions of the chart in 2012.
