• Lil Uzi Vert
• Eminem
• Bad Bunny

This milestone places him at No. 11 on the all-time list for most Hot 100 entries, just two songs away from tying Chris Brown at No. 10. At this rate, it’s only a matter of time before The Weeknd breaks into the top 10 biggest hitmakers in Billboard history.

From charting hits to smashing records, The Weeknd’s reign is unstoppable!

Surpassing legends like Elvis Presley, Eminem, and Beyoncé is a huge accomplishment. These icons are not only pioneers of music but have also had a massive influence on the industry. Passing them on the Hot 100 chart solidifies The Weeknd’s status as one of the greatest artists of this generation. His growing list of hit songs places him in elite company with the likes of Drake and Taylor Swift, both of whom have solidified their places in music history with unparalleled success on the Hot 100.

What makes this achievement even more remarkable is that The Weeknd is still early in his career compared to many of these iconic figures. With decades ahead of him, the potential for even more chart-topping hits is virtually limitless.

• Lil Baby (155 songs)
• Nicki Minaj (149 songs)
• Travis Scott (121 songs)

The music industry is a battlefield, and The Weeknd is proving he’s here to stay!

While Drake remains the clear frontrunner, The Weeknd’s rapid rise on the Hot 100 shows that he is quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with. As both artists continue to release new music, the competition for the top spots on this chart will only intensify. For fans, it’s a thrilling race to witness, with each passing week adding new twists and turns.

A Powerful Week for The Weeknd and Travis Scott

Not only is The Weeknd making history solo, but he also collaborates on one of the week’s biggest new Hot 100 debuts. Teaming up with Travis Scott and Florence + The Machine, the song “Reflections Laughing” from Hurry Up Tomorrow lands at No. 53.

With Scott adding to his charting total, the two megastars continue to show why they are among the most dominant forces in music today.

A new era of chart kings is rising—The Weeknd and Travis Scott are leading the charge!

By working with a variety of different musicians across genres, he continues to push the boundaries of what mainstream pop music can be. It’s clear that both Travis Scott and The Weeknd are shaping the soundscape of the future, and this partnership only adds to their growing legacies.

The Weekend’s Everlasting Influence on the Charts

The Weeknd’s Hot 100 dominance is no fluke—it’s the result of a decade of relentless artistry and chart-topping success. With three Grammy Awards, multiple No. 1 hits, and a style that blends R&B, pop, and alternative sounds, he has redefined modern music.

From his 2015 breakout with Beauty Behind the Madness to the record-smashing After Hours and Dawn FM, every album has showcased his ability to evolve while maintaining chart relevance. Now, with Hurry Up Tomorrow, he once again proves why he is one of the greatest hitmakers of his generation.
