With her Hot 100 advance, Rihanna moves closer to the mark for the most top 20 entries among women dating to the chart's 1958 launch; Elvis Presley leads all acts with 48 top 20 Hot 100 hits (and that's even with his career predating the chart's inception by two years).

Most Top 20 Hot 100 Hits by Women:
44, Madonna (56 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 78.57%]
35, Rihanna (48 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 72.92%]
33, Taylor Swift (69 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 47.83%]
32, Mariah Carey (46 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 69.57%]
29, Janet Jackson (39 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 74.36%]
29, Aretha Franklin (73 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 39.73%]
26, Whitney Houston (39 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 66.67%]
22, Beyonce (41 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 53.66%]
22, Nicki Minaj (61 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 36.07%]
21, Connie Francis (53 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 39.62%]
20, Diana Ross (40 total Hot 100 entries) [Success rate of 50%]
Success rate #s are rounded to the nearest hundredth.

Notes:
- Rihanna's "American Oxygen" is her 48th Hot 100 entry, bringing her success rate down from 74.47% to 72.92%. Will it also become her 36th Top 20 hit and bring her success rate up to 75%?
- Also, Mariah Carey's "Infinity" is her 46th Hot 100 entry, bringing her success rate down from 71.11% to 69.57%. Will it also become her 33rd Top 20 hit and bring her success rate up to 71.74%?
Time will tell.

Britney is currently at 19. If Pretty Girls smashes, she will tie Diana.

I'm not sure how accurate this is, but I've compiled a list of Rih's Hot 100 entries since her receipts thread didn't have an up to date list. I counted 47 (+6 since May 2013 which are in bold).

The List

Gonna update the OP with success rates in just a sec showing how many of their Hot 100 entries they were able to send to the Top 20.

If anyone knows how many Hot 100 entries Janet and Whitney have, I'd appreciate it if they shared!

EDIT: Just found them! About to add to the OP!

You put Diana in the wrong spot. She's #20 but is below #21.

Nicki and Connie both have 21 hits so they would be above Diana who only has 20!
