I will pay attention to this after they adjust the totals for basically the 20th century. Since it is so much easier to get songs on the chart this century. Something they did do when they tabulated their top 100 songs of all time, insuring that the entire top 20 or whatever was not Soundscan era songs. In a year and a half, they will do another such tabulation at the 60 year anniversary of the Hot 100.

I don't count it for various reasons. The two biggest:
1- Soundscan/different methodology 2- Featuring doesn't count. If it does, The Funk Brothers and Wrecking Crew are the true winners

Nicki Minaj now owns the record with 77, passing Aretha Franklin. "Twerks" in celebration: www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/nicki-minaj-twerks-in-red-latex-after-breaking-billboard-record-w473102".....Franklin, 74, held the record for the most Hot 100 entries among women for nearly 40 years, Billboard reported. The "Respect" singer now holds the No. 2 spot, placing her ahead of Taylor Swift (70), Rihanna (58), Madonna (57), Dionne Warwick (56) and Beyoncé (54)." Talk about a loaded record, I'd have to do the research, but a lot of those have to be duets and featuring credits, Unlike Aretha.

Billboard is full of crap. Featuring credits don't count.
