In each of the past seven weeks, Sabrina Carpenter has placed three songs in the top 10 of the Billboard Hot 100. On the latest chart (dated Oct. 19), “Espresso” is 5-4 after becoming her first top 10. reaching No. 3. “Taste” climbs 9-7 after debuting at No. 2 best. and “Please Please Please” climbs 10-9 after becoming her first No. 1 in June.
Thanks to her trio of buzzy hits — all from Short n' Sweether first No. 1 album on the Billboard 200 — Carpenter is the first artist to record a streak of up to seven weeks with at least three simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s this decade.
Drake last accomplished such a hat trick, posting nine consecutive weeks with three Hot 100 top 10s in April-June 2018, all from the Billboard 200 No. 1 Scorpio.
Notably, Carpenter surpassed Cardi B for the longest such streak among women. the latter claimed three simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s over four weeks in January 2018.
Overall, 50 Cent has tied the longest streak of three or more Hot 100 top 10s, having tripled (or quadrupled) for 11 consecutive weeks in February-April 2005.
As with many Hot 100 hits, the Beatles did it first. For 10 consecutive weeks on the charts from February 29 to May 2, 1964, the group racked up five weeks with three top 10s. Three weeks with a whopping four top 10s; and two frames with five top 10s.
Meanwhile, Carpenter, Justin Bieber (10 weeks, 2015-16) and the Beatles are the only artists to earn a triumphant trifecta in the Hot 100's top 10 for seven or more consecutive weeks without any other billing on their songs .
Below, browse a rundown of each act, spanning early Beatlemania to Carpenter's now long (n' sweet) hit, which has earned three or more simultaneous Hot 100 top 10s for four or more consecutive weeks.
