	R.I.P. Whitney Houston....

	I think it's very interesting how some artists had very short bursts of Top 10 hits (Brenda Lee, having all 12 of her hits in a four-year span), while others were more slow and steady.

	Taylor Swift has had 10 as well: http://www.billboard.com/artist/taylor-swift/chart-history/766101#/artist/taylor-swift/chart-history/766101

	Not to degrade any particular artist, but this list is easy proof that number of top 10 hits ≠ quality of / contribution to music.

	You should probably accept Rick Nelson in addition to Ricky Nelson, since he had hits under both names. Fun quiz.

	alleyt1989:	Feb 13th, 2012 at 04:56 GMT		5 points
	Surprised to see U2, Fleetwood Mac, David Bowie and Queen missing. Upon further research (wikipedia lol), these artists have 6, 9, 4 and 5 respectively. Sad really. Will need to add Katy Perry in a few weeks :D

	jmsr525:	Feb 13th, 2012 at 12:12 GMT		3 points
	Onno is right. Taylor needs to be added with 10 (2008-2011)

	I refuse to believe Rihanna has had 18 #1 hits. What rock have I been living under? I assume this includes collaborations?

	jmsr525:	Feb 13th, 2012 at 15:35 GMT		4 points
	In additon, Kelly Clarkson now has 10 (2002-2012) and Kanye West has 10 (2004-2012). A few artists have more than the number listed (Jay-Z has 12 and reaches 2012.)

	@JeffMaelstrom: This quiz is not about #1 hits it's about Top 10 Hits.

	DRB:	Feb 13th, 2012 at 21:40 GMT		1 point
	If it was about Hot 100 hits, then the Glee Cast would be top with nearly twice as many as anyone else. Which is really quite depressing.

	Tdirrty:	Feb 15th, 2012 at 01:04 GMT		1 point
	Aerosmith didn't make the cut? They have had to have 10 top 10 hits by now... You'd think that at least

	jmsr525:	Feb 15th, 2012 at 14:49 GMT		1 point
	@Tdirrty: The thing with Aerosmith is that they've never had two top ten hits peak at the same position.

	Also: Add one to Madonna and Whitney Houston and extend their years to 2012.

	Actually, Rihanna is on track to becoming one of the greatest female artist of all time. At age 23, soon to be 24, she has 18 Billboard Music Awards, 5 American Music Awards, 6 Grammy Awards, was named Digital Song Artist of the 2000s and 17th best Artist of the 2000s. She is the youngest solo artist to have had 11 #1 singles as well as the fastest solo artist to achieve 20 Top 10 singles (this needs to be updated) destroying Madonna's previous record, has sold the most digital downloads of any artist and has sold over 20 million albums (60 million singles), even beating Adele in 2011 [in the UK] making her one the best selling global artists of all time...

	@JMSR: Swift, Clarkson & Kanye added. Jay-Z updated & moved up next to his wife. Years extended for Madonna & Whitney, and I've added one to Madonna's total, but Whitney is a re-entry, so I don't think it should count as an extra top 10 hit.

	Yo Rihanna, I'm really happy for you and Imma let you finish, but, but... sobs, grabs his White Album LP, then crawls under the blankets

	Consider accepting just "Gaga" for Lady Gaga.

	@ jseve001. Come back to me when Rihanna scores 17 consecutive top 5 singles like Madonna did and then we can start a discussion on who has achieved more. Also, Madonna didnt have to "feature" on other people's songs to get half her top 10s. Furthermore, Rihanna has never had a number 1 album in the US, which is pretty embarrassing considering the huge promotion and buzz she receives. In fact, she hasnt even been certified beyond 3 times platinum for any of her albums. Oh and in the UK, Madonna has achieved 62 TOP TENS! Rihanna will NOT be remembered in 30 years. Madonna started in 1984 and is still achieving top ten hits in 2012! (give me all your luvin' peaked at number 10 last week).

	scotch6:	Feb 22nd, 2012 at 02:49 GMT		1 point
	I apologise. That's 15 consecutive top 5s (although madonna did have 17 consecutive top 10s)...

	rockgolf:	Feb 23rd, 2012 at 16:25 GMT		2 points
	As alleyt1989 predicted, Katy Perry now joins the list. Of her 10 top ten songs, 7 have reached #1.
