Janet Jackson scored her sixth of 15 career No. 1s on Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, as "Escapade" ascended 2-1 (and held atop the Billboard Hot 100). Since she first reigned with "What Have You Done for Me Lately" on the March 22, 1986, Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, her 15 leaders are the most among all acts. Usher follows with 12 in that span.
A record week for Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men: Their "One Sweet Day" spends its 16th week at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, wrapping the longest reign by any song in the chart's history.
