Nicki Minaj now has more songs on the Billboard Hot 100 than any other female artist.
She has surpassed Aretha Franklin, who she was previously tied with as of March 18, when they both had 73 entries each.
Franklin’s reign on the ranking lasted from June 18, 1977 until March 11, 2017, when she and Minaj first tied. Though Franklin has top billing on every one of her entries, Minaj has top billing on 32 of her entries and is featured on the remaining 44.
