Cardi B Joins The Beatles & Ashanti With First 3 Hot 100 Hits in Top 10 Simultaneously; Ed Sheeran & Beyonce's 'Perfect' No. 1

1/2/2018 by Gary Trust

 

Cardi B becomes just the third act – and the first rapper – to place her first three Billboard Hot 100 entries in the chart's top 10 simultaneously, joining only The Beatles and Ashanti in achieving the feat.

 

The Bronx rapper earns the honor as G-Eazy's "No Limit," featuring A$AP Rocky and Cardi B, lifts from No. 5 to a No. 4 high on the new Jan. 6-dated Hot 100; Migos, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B's No. 6-peaking "MotorSport" holds at No. 7; and Cardi B's former three-week No. 1 debut smash "Bodak Yellow (Money Moves)" returns to the top 10, rising 12-10.

 

Meanwhile, Ed Sheeran and Beyoncé's "Perfect" tops the Hot 100 for a fourth week.

 

As Cardi B places at Nos. 4, 7 and 10 on the Hot 100, she joins elite company in ranking in the top 10 with her first three charted titles in the same week.

 

The Beatles first tripled up at the heights of early Beatlemania, as, on the Hot 100s dated Feb. 29, March 7 and March 14, 1964, their first three entries all charted in the top 10 together. In the last of those three frames, the band monopolized the top three, with their first three hits at Nos. 1, 2 and 3, respectively: "I Want to Hold Your Hand," "She Loves You" and "Please Please Me."

 

The feat remained unmatched for 38 years, until Ashanti reached the Hot 100's top 10 with her first three charted titles simultaneously. On March 30 and April 6, 2002, she appeared in the tier with her own "Foolish" and as featured on Fat Joe's "What's Luv?" and Ja Rule's "Always on Time."

 

Cardi B is the first artist overall to chart three songs in the top 10 simultaneously since The Chainsmokers, who became the first duo to earn the distinction on the March 18, 2017-dated Hot 100. She's the first woman to do so since both Iggy Azalea and Ariana Grande on Aug. 30, 2014.

 

Cardi B, Azalea, Grande, Adele and Ashanti are the only women with such a top-10 triple.

 

The only other acts to chart three Hot 100 top 10s simultaneously (dating to the chart's Aug. 4, 1958, inception): Bee Gees, 50 Cent, Usher, Akon, T-Pain, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne and Justin Bieber (thus, making Cardi B the 15th act to join the club).

 

The honor is the latest for Cardi B, who, when "MotorSport" zoomed 15-6 on the Dec. 30-dated Hot 100, became the first female rapper to reach the top 10 with her first three Hot 100 entries.

 

Cardi B's current trio of top 10s is driven most heavily by streaming, as "No Limit" leaps 7-4 on the Streaming Songs chart with 34.2 million U.S. streams, up 18 percent, in the week ending Dec. 28, according to Nielsen Music; "MotorSport" reverses 5-7 (30 million, down 4 percent); and "Bodak Yellow" holds at No. 9 (24.2 million, down 1 percent).

 

Not to be forgotten among Cardi B's bounty this week: at No. 4 on the Hot 100, "No Limit" marks a new career high for both G-Eazy and A$AP Rocky, the latter of whom surpasses his prior No. 5 peak, as featured on Selena Gomez's "Good for You" in 2015.

 

Meanwhile, Cardi B adds to her haul this week, earning the Hot 100's top two debuts with her fourth and fifth Hot 100 entries. "Bartier Cardi," featuring 21 Savage, bows at No. 14 on the Hot 100, as it launches at No. 10 on the Digital Song Sales chart with 45,000 first-week downloads sold in the week ending Dec. 28 and at No. 11 on Streaming Songs (21.1 million opening-week U.S. streams). The song's No. 14 Hot 100 entrance matches Cardi B's best, tying the arrival of "MotorSport" (Nov. 18).

 

Plus, Ozuna and Cardi B's "La Modelo" debuts on the Hot 100 at No. 52, starting on Digital Song Sales at No. 40 (19,000) and Streaming Songs at No. 41 (11.7 million). It opens at No. 3 on Hot Latin Songs (where it marks Cardi B's first appearance).

 

Atop the Hot 100 for a fourth frame, Sheeran and Beyoncé's "Perfect," released on Atlantic Records, and first as a solo song by Sheeran on his album ÷ (Divide), spends a fifth week at No. 1 on Digital Song Sales (163,000, up 8 percent). It dips to No. 2 after a week atop Streaming Songs (37.7 million, down 13 percent) and holds at its No. 2 high on the Radio Songs chart, with 129.6 million in audience, up 4 percent, in the week ending Dec. 31.

 

Post Malone's "Rockstar," featuring 21 Savage, ranks at No. 2 on the Hot 100 for a fourth week after eight weeks at No. 1. It rebounds for a 13th week at No. 1 on Streaming Songs (40.2 million, down 6 percent) and leads the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and Hot Rap Songs charts for a 12th week each.

 

Camila Cabello's "Havana," featuring Young Thug, keeps at No. 3 on the Hot 100, after reaching No. 2, while topping Radio Songs for a fourth week (130.4 million, down 3 percent).

 

Rounding out the Hot 100's top five, Imagine Dragons' "Thunder" rises 6-5 after reaching No. 4, while leading Hot Rock Songs for a ninth week. Meanwhile, a medley version of the song with Khalid's "Young Dumb & Free," released at midnight ET Dec. 20 and being tracked as its own title, enters the Hot 100 at No. 69 (and Hot Rock Songs at No. 4), fueled by its No. 8 debut on Digital Song Sales (46,000 sold). The song is a studio version of the medley that the group and Khalid performed on the American Music Awards Nov. 19. (Khalid's track jumps 33-18 for a new high on the Hot 100.)

 

Elsewhere in the Hot 100's top 10, Lil Pump's "Gucci Gang" drops 4-6 after hitting No. 3; Sam Smith's No. 4-peaking "Too Good at Goodbyes" holds at No. 8; and Halsey's "Bad at Love" rebounds 10-9 after reaching No. 8.

 

In addition to Cardi B's debuts outside the Hot 100's top 10, two songs, especially, are challenging for spots in the region: Kendrick Lamar's "Love.," featuring Zacari, zooms 22-11 as the chart's top gainer in streaming (19.2 million, up 53 percent), following the Dec. 21 arrival of its official video, and Dua Lipa's "New Rules" rises 13-12.

The 'new' recurrent rule means that 'Shape Of You' will drop out after the next chart unless it's still in the top 20 right? (Not sure if any other song has had that rule applied since 'Uptown Funk'). I guess both 'Despacito' and 'That's What I Like' are only a couple weeks off this as well, and 'Believer' is only a few more weeks away.

Top 25 actually. “Stitches”/“Stressed Out”/“Closer”/“Say You Won’t Let Go” were also affected by this rule, but they were already out of the top 25 at that point. James Arthur’s case is weird considering he never made the top 10, but he was probably helped by streaming during its release (way before it impacted on radio) and radio longevity long after it peaked.

Ah ok! So 'Shape Of You' might have a decent chance of making it to week 53 then.

Keep in mind that this was just a weird week with radio stations spamming EOY playlists/countdowns (iHeartRadio Top 100) and the gift card effect going around. This and other songs might end up seeing a couple drops as things start to normalize. Let’s not count out the effect from the debuts this week as well.

 

It might end up being like this:

next chart: stagnation

week after: normalization (+ Bruno/JT debut impact) with recurrent dropping 7+ spots unless something weird happens

 

If it does end up going past 52, great. It would be the first song to do so since that rule was made.

Ashanti and Cardi B not so impressive since 2 of them are guest spots on other people's records, so they hardly qualify as "First three singles".

 

The Beatles additionally had the entire top 5, on actual plastic people had to buy when it was pretty expensive. That record is safe for some time, short of a debut album streaming in an Ed Sheeran fashion....

So they are doing new chart rules in the US to make the chart less slow like they did in the UK last year :o

Recurrency rules have been around on Billboard for decades but they recently modified them so that songs don’t clog up the charts forever like Radioactive and Sail did.

So they are doing new chart rules in the US to make the chart less slow like they did in the UK last year :o

The 'new' rule applies to songs with over 52 weeks in the chart, they're only chart eligible if they are in the top 25 i.e. Shape Of You will leave the top 100 when it leaves the top 25. It's been enforced for over a year now I believe. This is in addition to the older rule where songs drop out the top 100 after 20 weeks unless they are still in the top 50.

Yeah I put new in inverted commas because it's been around for a while, it just doesn't get to be applied very often as it's pretty rare for songs to still be top 50 after a year. It's kind of pointless imo, it doesn't really make any noticeable difference.

So could Cardi B possibly have 4-5 entries in the Top 10 soon? With Bartier Cardi bound to rise & Finesse debuting high? Bodak Yellow might be pushed out by either of them but I think 4 entries is a high possibility?

 

Is there anywhere to see chart runs of certain songs (such as Radioactive, Shape Of You, other long runners etc)
