Most Billboard Hot 100 Entries Among All Acts
From a TV troupe to hip-hop titans to the King of Rock & Roll and more, superstars from various genres and eras make the list of the artists with the most Billboard Hot 100 hits. Since the chart premiered on Aug. 4, 1958 (through the chart dated July 29, 2017), the cast of "Glee," which aired on Fox-TV from 2009 to 2015, boasts the most Hot 100 entries: 207. The cast moved to the head of the class thanks in large part to its formula of releasing multiple songs a week, tied to each new episode, all to the glee of Gleeks everywhere. Drake places second for the most Hot 100 appearances, followed by Lil Wayne. From those acts on down, here is a look at the Hot 100's most frequent inhabitants.
