The Hot 100 Airplay chart (or Radio Songs on Billboard.com) is a chart released weekly by Billboard magazine in the United States.

What about MJ's "Bad"?

probably only on hot 100, not airplay chart

Alicia & Rihanna.

In the main chart - Billboard Hot 100: http://atrl.net/forums/showthread.php?t=173285

hopefully they're gonna slay this year again.. fingers crossed

umm Rihanna also holds the record for the most consecutive #1s with Rude Boy, Love The Way You Lie, Only Girl, WMN? and S&M according to billboard

but it sucks that iris and don't speak couldn't chart on the hot 100...they would have surely gone #1

Mariah

But how it can be 5 consecutive #1s if she released "Rockstar 101" (and it flopped, as you know) between "Rude Boy" and "Love The Way You Lie". Isn't 4 consecutive #1s instead?

How many weeks is WE FOUND LOVE at #1 on Airplay ???

was that even an officail single or was it like a man down type thing

'Iris' , No Doubt and MIMI

7 weeks.

Yes, it was an official single in the USA. Only "Te Amo" (from that album) was not released there. "Man Down" was also a US single.

Katy !!!

we belong togetheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer.

amazing success story.. i think it was greatest gainer for 9 weeks (non-consecutive) who can top that?

Katy

Mention should be made of the following:

* Only Top 40/Mainstream and Top 40/Rhythm-Crossover stations were part of Hot 100 Airplay from late 1990-mid-1993. The highest stations count during that time was 130 or so (it had dropped back to just over a 100 or so for a time in 1993).
* In mid-1993, AC and modern-rock stations were added to the H100 Airplay panel, increasing the panel size).
* The number of stations continued to grow annually (though dipping back at certain times) through 1998, reaching as high as 300+.
* In December 1998, all formats were added to H100 Airplay, taking the panel size to more than 700 stations. Since then, stations have been added to the panel, with the total number of stations topping 1,200.

Obviously, audience totals for tracks peaking from December 1998-on would have higher totals than those peaking before it (especially if they were big hits at multiple formats).
