Legendary soul singer Aretha Franklin announced her retirement from music this week, giving Nicki Minaj a clean shot to take her place as the woman with the most Billboard Hot 100 entries.
As it currently stands, Franklin has amassed 73 entries over her long career. Minaj has racked up 71 since coming to prominence in just the last seven years or so.
It’s a phenomenal achievement by the Queens rapper, and she’s rightly pretty proud of herself – something that she wasn’t afraid to share with her Instagram followers at the expense of one Taylor Swift.
Her feature on Major Lazer’s “Run Up,” which has debuted at number 66 on the chart, has broken the tie between two women, leaving T-Swizz just behind Nicki with 70 entries.

Nicki’s message to the pop singer was, well, sort of nice. We guess. Minaj gave Taylor the love-eyes emoji and said “Oh hey, Taylor. Taylor and I were tied but thanks to u guys, #RunUp debuted on the Hot 100 this week so I was able to inch past her a bit.”
“Did u know she’s a sag like ya girl?”
Nicki Minaj also threw Britney and Christina’s names in the mix, saying that she loved them all. She might love them, but she definitely wants them to know that right now she’s on top.
