Nicki Minaj reached a landmark 76 Billboard Hot 100 hit this week surpassing Aretha Franklin for the most Hot 100 entries among women.
The Young Money rap diva released three new singles just over a week ago and all three of them debut on the chart this week. Her single “No Frauds” featuring Lil Wayne and Drake debut at No. 14 this week, while “Regret In Your Tears” debut at No. 61, and “Change It” came in at No. 71.
