As «Texas Hold ‘Em» climbs to No. 1 on the Hot 100, Beyoncé has now spent 45 weeks on top of the chart. She’s putting more distance between herself and Michael Jackson.
Beyoncé rules the Hot 100 this week as her latest single “Texas Hold ‘Em” rises to the summit. As the superstar climbs to the peak position on the ranking of the most-consumed songs in the U.S., the woman behind the somewhat surprising smash puts more distance between herself and one of the best to ever do it.
Now that “Texas Hold ‘Em” has danced to No. 1 on the Hot 100, Beyoncé has officially spent 45 weeks atop the chart, according to Billboard. That sum only includes her solo work, and it’s one of the most impressive accumulations of frames spent on top in history.
Beyoncé now ranks seventh on the list of musicians who have spent the most weeks at No.
