Beyoncé has set a new record by becoming the first artist in history to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 for 28 years straight.
This milestone was officially confirmed this year after her name reappeared on the chart through the song No by Summer Walker, which samples Beyoncé’s 2003 track Yes and credits her as a songwriter. The entry gives Beyoncé an unbroken run of chart appearances from 1997 through 2025.
Beyoncé first appeared on the Hot 100 back in 1997, when she first charted as a member of Destiny’s Child. Ever since, whether as a group member, solo artist, credited songwriter or collaborator, she has maintained a consistent presence on the chart every year.
According to published reports, no other artist — male or female — has managed to maintain such a long consecutive-year run on the Hot 100. At a time when many artists rise and fall, this record highlights Beyoncé’s commercial success and ability to remain relevant. Fans, critics, and industry observers see this as evidence of sustained cultural impact and creative longevity.
