Billboard Issue Charts The Greatest of All Time



Billboard.com today announced its first-ever “Billboard Greatest of All Time” rankings for the top Hot 100 and Billboard 200 songs, albums and artists.


According to the articles on the Billboard website:
  • Elvis Presley leads all acts on the Billboard 200 with the most charted albums: 107 (between Aug. 17, 1963 through Oct. 10, 2015).
  • Madonna paces the rundown of artists with the most top 10 Hot 100 hits, with 38.
  • From “12×5″ to “Forty Licks,” the Rolling Stones have rocked the Billboard 200 and own the record for the most top 10 albums (36 of them) on the chart (between 1963 and 2010).
  • In just six years on the air (2009-15), Fox’s hit TV series “Glee” rewrote Hot 100 history, as the show’s cast sports the most entries on the chart of any act all-time: a whopping 207.

Paul McCartney tells Billboard the origin stories -- some moving, some bawdy -- behind eight of The Beatles' record-breaking 20 No. 1 hits.  Click Here.
