Chris Brown Ties Lil Wayne for Second-Most No. 1s on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay Chart.

Chris Brown reaches a milestone with his 20th No. 1 on Billboard’s Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay chart for “Residuals.” The single tops the list dated Dec. 7 and was the most-played song on U.S. monitored mainstream R&B/hip-hop radio stations in the tracking week of Nov. 22 – 28, according to Luminate.

“Residuals” climbs from the runner-up spot after a 4% gain in weekly plays knocking GloRilla’s “TGIF” to No. 2 after the latter completed a 10-week nonconsecutive reign. The new champ is Brown’s second chart-topper on the radio ranking in 2024, after “Sensational,” featuring Davido and Lojay, ruled for one week in March.

With a 20th No. 1, Brown matches Lil Wayne’s career count for the second-most among all acts since the chart began in 1992. The pair trail only Drake, who sits in first place with 46 leaders. Here’s a recap of the artists with the most No. 1s on Mainstream R&B/Hip-Hop Airplay:

46, Drake
20, Chris Brown
20, Lil Wayne
17, Usher
13, Beyoncé

“Residuals” appears on the deluxe edition of Brown’s latest studio album, 11:11. S: Billboard
