Beyoncé has landed her 40th top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with her single “Black Parade.” The song comes in at No. 37 on the most recent chart, tying her with legendary Michael Jackson.

“Black Parade” is the top-selling track in the United States this past week with 18,000 downloads for the week ending June 25, Billboard reports.

The song hits the No. 1 song on the Digital Song Sales chart and brought in 7.8 million streams in the week.

Beyoncé’s first Top 40 single was as a feature on her husband JAY-Z’s “03 Bonnie and Clyde” back in 2002, the most recent prior to “Black Parade” was also a feature in the “Savage (Remix).” The run for Michael Jackson started in 1971 with “Got to Be There,” with his most recent coming in 2018 alongside Drake on “Don’t Matter to Me.”

Rihanna hasn’t dropped music in four years but she continues to make history.

Her collaboration with PARTYNEXTDOOR, “Believe It” is sitting at the No. 23 spot on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart. The PARTYMOBILE cut marks Riri’s first feature since DJ Khaled’s “Wild Thoughts.” She made a subtle appearance on Jay Electronica’s A Written Testimony, but her musical presence is pretty much nonexistent at this point.

Another cool note is that the singer had a song charting in three decades: 2000, 2010, 2020.

During her cover story with British Vogue, she revealed that she’s expanding the Fenty Beauty brand to skincare. “Skincare, it’s the truth,” she said. “It either works or it doesn’t. There’s nowhere to hide.”

In the same interview, she spoke about her album which she assured isn’t a reggae album, but it doesn’t have a set release date. So we’ll just have to sit back, relax, and listen to any of the songs that were charting in the past three decades.
