Nicki Minaj’s trio of new singles land on this week’s chart..

Nicki Minaj has reached a huge chart milestone with her three latest singles. Earlier this month, Minaj tied Aretha Franklin for the most total appearances for a female artist on the Hot 100 (73 singles). And now, with three new entries on the chart, Nicki speeds past Franklin for sole possession of the top spot with 76 Hot 100 singles, according to Billboard “No Frauds,” her collaboration with Drake and Lil Wayne, lands the highest at no. 14, with “Regret in Your Tears” (no. 61) and the Lil Wayne-assisted “Changed It” (no. 71) appearing further down the chart.

Now, Minaj can set her sights on climbing the list of all acts. With her three latest singles, Nicki leapfrogs Ray Charles (75 total appearances) into ninth place among all artists. For comparison, Minaj’s “No Frauds” partners clock in with almost double her tally—Lil Wayne sits in second place with 135, and Drake’s close behind with 133 in third. More Life should give him the boost over Wayne, but it’s still a long way to the top: the amorphous cast of Fox’s Glee sits comfortably at no. 1 for the time being with 207 chart appearances.

When Nicki Minaj wins, we all win … especially when she celebrates like this.
