Considering Beyoncé's career today, I always forget how constantly she was played on the radio growing up in the 2000's

Yea, her career is just fine these days, it's just her radio support that dropped in the 10s. Sure, she doesn't do the radio promotion anymore but that's only because radio dipped on her first during the 4 era. Their loss was her gain anyway lol.

I'm thinking adele and dua will get to 5 quite swiftly

Where is this info. from?
 

There was no existential Pop radio chart pre-1991.

 

There was only a seperate AC and R&B radio format as well as the overall Hot 100 Airplay chart which tabulated airplay from all stations (AC predominantly) which, as a whole, was not a lot especially in the 1980’s. Also, Billboard only debuted the radio chart in 1984.

 

That is, unless, this is Radio & Records data which was/is completely different to Billboard?

 

 

It’s Radio and Records or da one Casey Casey would do on every weekend. I remember when Cherish hit number one knowing MYM has blocked it on AT40

@Feanor

 

Doja can once again be updated since "I like you" hit #1

 

And Vegas is also coming for #1 so she will possibly join Mariah and Britney soon. 

[Raphy23]

Wow looking at some of these peaks its so weird. Umbrella blocked by Summer Love.

 

Whitney only having one #1 (since they started in 1992) but her most longevity being from songs that didn't go #1. Her biggest on pop radio are My Love Is Your Love #10 (24 weeks), Exhale #6 (22 weeks), HH #8 (21 weeks), INRBIO #23 (20 weeks). IWALY was #1 for 9 weeks but only charted for 19 weeks.

[PoisonPill]

I forgot that Gaga's first six singles all went #1... insane and I think only Mariah has a longer string than her  And it would've been her first 8 singles if she had released a different video for Alejandro

[Michael196]

They better not drop Lavender Haze out of nowhere and keep on supporting it until it gets to the top, in order to finally tie Rih & Katy, it’s the least she deserves after the insane success of the album and almost half a decade drought/lack of support they put her through despite keeping the industry alive...

[katara]

Weird that Cold Heart didn't go #1 but Break My Heart did

[Feanor]

Updated the OP.

 

 

Miley Cyrus joins the list as she just achieved her 3rd pop radio #1 hit with "Flowers". 

Her first two were "Party In The U.S.A." and "Wrecking Ball".

[blown away]

Some of these are really surprising. Umbrella, DSTM and Diamonds missing? Behind These Hazel Eyes and My Life Would Suck Without You? Sweet Dreams and Naughty Girl? See You Again? Come & Get It?

 

That said, Gaga fumbled her bag when she released Judas. She went from 7/8 pop #1's between Just Dance - BTW to 0/15  If only she'd made TEOG the second single from the album...

Truly, the way she shot herself in the foot. And for what? As if she needed any more exposure/controversy in April 2011. At least Judas is getting its shine on Spotify

Love seeing Miley as a new edition

[PoisonPill]

These stats are fascinating. It really demonstrates how female artists enjoy "flavor of the moment" status at pop radio that is usually short lived before the format moves onto a newer younger it girl.

Ariana's 5th #1 on Pop Radio was her first #1 on the hot 100, dua is coming

Ariana Grande achieves her 9th pop radio #1 hit with "Die For You Remix". 

She thus ties P!nk, who also has 9th #1s. Only Katy, Rihanna and Taylor have more.
