Counting down Petty's 20 biggest smashes with the Heartbreakers and beyond.
Rock icon Tom Petty was a steady presence on the Billboard Hot 100 between the late-1970s and mid-'90s, whether solo or with his long-running backing band The Heartbreakers.
He charted more than two dozen songs on the tally, led by a trio of top 10s that reflected his cornerstone status on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Songs airplay chart, arguably Petty's home base on the charts. He logged 10 Mainstream Rock Songs No. 1s among 28 top 10s, the latter the record for the most top 10s in the chart's history.
