Dre, Perry come, Kelly clarkson, Chicago, The carpenters, black eyed peas, and Paul Anka

 

Note: I chose 3 or more because it is difficult to get 3 #1 hits as tons have had it once and maybe fortunate to get it twice. 3 is the charm. Stream Britney’s 3 for good luck!

 

List some of your favorite artists and their #1s...

That thread of Drake being #1 was fake. That's the Rolling Stone chart

 

Billboard hasn't published the article yet

Katheryn Perry's 9 #1s are impressive because she's the lead artist in all of them + they're all singles from her studio albums

And they all smash hits except for maybe Part of Me. 

I mean like real smash with longevity and stuff.

The legendary miss Katy Perry

It feels like having a #1 song is so easy those days
