Chris Brown scores a historic milestone on Billboard’s R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart, becoming the second artist to reach 100 cumulative weeks at No. 1 on the radio ranking, across 11 No. 1 songs in his career. The R&amp;B hitmaker achieves the feat on the list dated Feb. 15 as current single “Residuals” jumps 2-1 for its first week in the top slot. The singer joins Drake, who has a record 176 weeks at No. 1 on R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Airplay, in the triple-digit club among all artists since the chart launched in 1992.

A CBE/RCA Records release, “Residuals” crowns R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Airplay, which ranks songs by combined audience totals from adult R&amp;B and mainstream R&amp;B/hip-hop radio stations, with 15.8 million audience impressions in the tracking week of Jan. 31-Feb. 6, according to Luminate, up 3% from the previous week’s 15.3 million.

The single advances to the summit in its 27th week on the list, the seventh-longest wait in the chart’s history. After 11 nonconsecutive weeks in the runner-up spot, “Residuals” likely crosses the finish line with added buzz from its official music video release on Jan. 23 and its nomination for best R&amp;B performance at the Grammy Awards. While the track lost its nod at the Feb. 2 ceremony, Brown won best R&amp;B album for 11:11, his second career trophy.

Brown’s 100 weeks at No. 1 are spread across 11 No. 1s. Notably, more than half of his career total derives from just two songs: “No Guidance” featuring Drake, and a collaboration with Young Thug, “Go Crazy.” The former logged 27 weeks on top in 2019-2020, while the latter dominated for 29 frames in 2020-21. At the time, both tracks set records for the longest run by any song in the chart’s history; SZA’s “Snooze,” at 37 weeks in charge, now holds the title.

To recap his 100 weeks at the summit, here’s a review of Brown’s 11 No. 1s on R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Airplay:

With an 11th No. 1, Brown breaks a tie with Beyoncé for sole possession of the fourth-most leaders on R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Airplay. Drake leads the count with 29, with Usher (16) and Lil Wayne (12) in second and third place, respectively.

Elsewhere, “Residuals” pushes 15-13 on Adult R&amp;B Airplay, sparked by a 49% surge in weekly plays. It also repeats at No. 6 on the Mainstream R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Airplay, a chart it topped for four weeks in December-January, and essentially remains even in plays with last week’s total.
