Lil Wayne Earns His 100th Entry On Billboard's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs Chart

When you've accomplished a feat on previously done in music history by Jay-Z and the legendary James Brown, you definitely have earned bragging rights.

I guess it's time for Lil Wayne to start bragging....

The Young Money boss has scored his 100th appearance on the Billboard R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart with his latest feature on French Montana's ''Pop That'' record.

Weezy is just the third artist and second rapper to achieve the astronomical feat dating to the first incarnation of Billboard's R&B chart (the "Harlem Hit Parade") in 1942. Jay-Z leads all rappers with 108 chart titles. Among all artists, the pair trails only James Brown, who's banked 111 entries between 1956 and 1993.

Notably, Brown made all his chart appearances as a lead act, before the now-common practice of featured artists helped swell many rappers' sums of chart entries. Of his 100 charted titles, Lil Wayne has been the lead act on 31 and been featured on 69. (Jay-Z has led on 69 of his 108 hits and been featured on 39.)

New Orleans-born Lil Wayne's R&B/Hip-Hop Songs history spans 13 years and one month. The week of May 31, 1999, a then-16-year-old Dwayne Carter made his first appearance on Juvenile's "Back That Thang Up," also featuring Mannie Fresh. The song went on to peak at No. 5, becoming Lil Wayne's first of 29 top 10s. He's tied with Ludacris for the most top 10s in the chart's archives among rappers.

Jay-Z took slightly longer to make his 100th R&B/Hip-Hop Songs visit: 14 years, 10 months and one week between 1996 and 2011.

Of his 100 charted songs, Lil Wayne has sent eight to No. 1. Among rappers, only Weezy's protégé Drake and Jay-Z, each with nine, have more. Billboard

yeah dre but asslickers (usually them fa-ggot type of dudes) get in high positions many times, not just in rap, but in everything, although they are not in control of what they do, after all, they are "owned" by some really rich a-ss powerful men

SMP yup hes a full fa-ggot
Comment by dre on June 22, 2012 at 2:56pm
Calling someone a fa-ggot is not even an insult anymore seeing as how they control the music industry, they are rich for being flamboyant, if u choose not to work with them ( big asz lawsuit) if they work for u and they dont get promoted or even fired (big asz lawsuit) so society has come to tollerate gays ...so yea being a fa-g means nothing but means everything smh i dont agree with it but its the truth
