Sabrina Carpenter’s Hot 100 Top 10 Streak: How Historic Is It?
In every of the previous seven weeks, Sabrina Carpenter has positioned three songs within the prime 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. On the newest (Oct. 19-dated) chart, “Espresso” buzzes 5-4, after changing into her first prime 10, reaching No. 3; “Taste” rises 9-7, after it debuted at its No. 2 finest; and “Please Please Please” ascends 10-9, after it turned her first No. 1 in June.
Thanks to her trio of buzzy hits — all from Short n’ Sweet, her first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 — Carpenter is the primary artist to notch a run of as many as seven weeks with at the very least three simultaneous Hot 100 prime 10s this decade.
Drake final scored such a hat trick, posting 9 consecutive weeks with three Hot 100 prime 10s in April-June 2018, all from his Billboard 200 No. 1 Scorpion.
Notably, Carpenter surpassed Cardi B for the longest such streak amongst ladies; the latter claimed three concurrent Hot 100 prime 10s for 4 weeks in January 2018.
Overall, 50 Cent has linked the longest run of three or extra Hot 100 prime 10s, having tripled (or quadrupled) up for 11 straight weeks in February-April 2005.
As with many Hot 100 achievements, The Beatles did it first. For 10 weeks in a row, on the charts dated Feb. 29 by means of May 2, 1964, the group tallied 5 weeks with three prime 10s; three weeks with a fab 4 prime 10s; and two frames with 5 prime 10s.
Meanwhile, Carpenter, Justin Bieber (10 weeks, 2015-16) and The Beatles are the one artists to earn a triumphant trifecta within the Hot 100’s prime 10 for seven or extra weeks consecutively with no different billed acts on their songs.
Below, flick thru a rundown of each act, spanning from early Beatlemania to Carpenter’s now prolonged (n’ candy) success, that has earned three or extra simultaneous Hot 100 prime 10s for 4 or extra consecutive weeks.
