Solo Top 3 sounds very specific.

Normally I hear about #1, Top 5 and Top 10

[suburbannature]

Mariah in the top seven as a 1990 debut  

[moonlitdick]

 
ariana has 6 @fridayteenage

[Icarus]

Taylor far ahead of the pack  

 

The "Queen of solo hits" Dua being OUT, I didn't expect that

34+35 solo had a week at #2. Ariana has six entries. 

[Delirious]

ELLIE AAAAAAAHHHHH

[Rev8]

Interesting

 

add US and separate them by streaming tho nn

[Johnny Jacobs]

katy doing that with 5 albums 

[MingYouToo]

Ariana with 6 entries while not even being a decade into her career

[Harry]

i think she has at least more than britney @D.M.F

[Genius1111]

Kelly in the same league as Gaga and Beyonce 

[Lover]

gaga in the same league as kelly

[fridayteenage]

With a breather after all the album bombs, added the men in. Drake on top of that demographic as expected.

 

Olivia on top of gen z for now.

Ariana has 6, and the “based on the crediting week the song went top 3” is dumb AF, 34+35 solo was the bigger version and it DID in fact peaked at #2

Quote

Olivia Rodrigo's "Drivers License" rolls to a sixth week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. Ariana Grande's "34+35" returns to its No. 2 best 

that would put her in a tie with Bruno 

 

OT: Katy stats are so impressive, also Lizzo hopefully coming for a third one with ADT 

[fridayteenage]

i doubt this discussion will be fruitful but even if you look at that week, the remix is why it went up:
 

Quote

 

Ariana Grande’s “34+35” surges 6-2 on the Hot 100 after first reaching the rank four weeks earlier, when it was sparked by the Jan. 15 release of its remix featuring Doja Cat and Megan Thee Stallion. Now, the song returns to its high following the Feb. 12 premiere of its official video starring all three artists.

“34+35” ascends with 60.2 million in airplay audience (up 2%), 18.1 million streams (up 35%) and 16,000 sold (up 863%), the latter two metrics good for the song’s dual wins for top Streaming and Sales Gainer on the Hot 100.

 

So Billboard themselves say it went up 4 spots specifically thanks to remix activity.

taylor: 3+1+1+5+3+13+10+5+1+1+1+1 = 45 (couldn't find the chart run for the last 3 so I just assumed. Correct me if I'm wrong)

katy: 9+1+6+12+6+1+3+2+11 = 51

rihanna: 6+4+6+7+4+5+8+6+9 = 55 

beyonce: 2+13+11+4 = 30

 

will do the rest later

drake: 8+12+19+12+11+1+4+1 = 68

 

you have a typo in toosie btw

[family.guy123]

of the 6 that i've calculated:

 

# of 1 week top 3s:

taylor: 6

katy: 2

drake: 2

adele: 0

rihanna: 0

beyonce: 0

Edited June 3, 2022 by family.guy123

[family.guy123]

adele: 12+12+9+14+17 = 64 

[family.guy123]

averages (alphabetically):

adele: 12.8

beyonce: 7.5

drake: 8.5

katy: 5.7

rihanna: 6.1

taylor: 3.8

Edited June 3, 2022 by family.guy123

[family.guy123]

since we all know averages don't tell the whole story:

 

medians:

adele: 12

beyonce: 7

drake: 9.5

katy: 6

rihanna: 6

taylor: 2
