The accolades keep on rolling for Kanye West, who now surpasses Michael Jackson with forty top 40 hits on Billboard’s Hot 100. The song that put Kanye West ahead is actually a track he’s featured on for ScHoolboy Q’s “THat Part.” The song is the second official single from Q’s Blank Face LP — the album currently sits at no. 7 on Billboard’s Rap Album chart. There’s also no evidence of Kanye West slowing down also, and from the looks of it, he could easily surpass the likes of Marvin Gaye (41), Chris Brown (42) and even his “Big Brother,” Jay Z (45). Furthermore, with projects like the Cruel Winter album and a rumored Drake collabo coming up, it shouldn’t be no surprise if Mr. West moves up in the top 5 of the list below in no time. As for women artists, specifically Taylor Swift, she has 50 top 40 hits to her credit. A long way to go for Yeezus, but definitely attainable depending on how much T-Swift slows down on the charts.
Top artists who’ve dominated the top 40 hits on Billboard’s Hot 100.
1. Elvis Presley – 80
2. Lil Wayne – 69
3. Elton John – 57
4. Drake – 53
5. Stevie Wonder – 46
6. Jay Z – 45
7. James Brown – 44

Birds in the Trap Sing McKnight is Travis Scott’s second studio album, set to release this Friday August 12 via Grand Hustle. Some of hip-hop’s currently most revered alongside past collaborators (think Kid CuDi, Roy Woods, 21 Savage, Rihanna, The Weeknd, Future and PartyNextDoor) are featured on the LP alongside producers Metro Boombin, Zaytoven and DJ Mustard. During a show on Coney Island last month where he performed his new single “Picked Up The Phone,” the rapper announced that his latest mixtape will drop on August 5, yet the date passed with no sign of release. Today, the Rodeo updated his Instagram with a flyer suggesting that there’ll be a listening party this Friday in an undisclosed location in Los Angeles with his DJ Chase B. The party will also feature an installation by James Turrell, conceptual LA-based artist who in the past worked on Drake’s “Hotline Bling” music video set. Stay tuned for more information as it surfaces.
