Landing a number-one hit on Billboard magazine's Hot 100—the premiere pop singles chart in the United States—is by itself a remarkable achievement. A handful of recording artists, however, have managed the feat at least 10 times since the 1950s, when the chart originated. As you might expect, the initial members of that exclusive club include some of the biggest pop, rock, and rhythm-and-blues (R&B;) stars of the late 20th and early 21st centuries. To find out who they are, as well as which of their hits gained them membership, read on.

Note: Only songs credited to the artist by name (whether alone or in collaboration) are included in each artist's total. For example, “We Are the World,” officially credited to "USA for Africa," does not count as a number-one hit for any individual musician who appears on it.
