Hail to the new King, baby. Elvis Presley charted an impressive 108 hit singles on the Hot 100 during his 20-plus-year career in pop, enough to rank him above all other male artists in the history of popular music. But now Elvis has been trumped, by the hardest-working (well, most frequently working) man in hip-hop, Dwayne Michael Carter, Jr., a.k.a. Lil Wayne. With his guest appearance on The Game’s “Celebration,” which debuts at #82 this week, Wayne has now made a staggering 109 appearances as a credited artist on the Hot 100, starting with his appearance on Juvenile’s classic “Back That Azz Up” back in 1999.
In honor of this occasion, we’ve created a Spotify Playlist of all Lil Wayne’s Hot 100 hits—minus a couple (DJ Khaled’s “Holla At Me,” Weezy’s own “Shine” and “Fuck Today”) that are unavailable on the streaming service—for you to soundtrack your own celebration of Lil Wayne’s 30th birthday. Listen below, and also check out some stats about Weezy’s incredible 109 Hot 100 entries:
Number of #1s: Two (“Lollipop,” Jay Sean’s “Down”)
Number of #100s: Two (Kelly Rowland’s “Ice,” The Game’s “Martians vs. Goblins”)
Number of Top Tens: 16
