Madonna currently holds the record for the most number-one songs in the 43-year history of the chart, with 50, which is the record for any Billboard chart. The only other artists to have achieved more than 20 chart toppers are Rihanna and Beyoncé. Janet Jackson has accumulated 20 number-ones during her career, followed by Katy Perry with 19, and Jennifer Lopez with 18. Mariah Carey and Kristine W are tied with 17. Donna Summer has 16, Lady Gaga has 15, while Dave Audé, Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull, Kylie Minogue, David Guetta, and Whitney Houston have attained 14 apiece. Two acts have attained thirteen number-one songs: Deborah Cox and Yoko Ono.
context_section_description: American singer and songwriter Kristine W has achieved seventeen number-one songs on the chart, and ranks eighth among the top 100 Dance Club Songs Artists overall. She first topped the chart with her debut single, "Feel What You Want", in 1994. She followed it up with her second and third hits in 1996: "One More Try" in May and "Land of the Living" in November, which spent two weeks atop the chart. Between 2000 and 2005, the singer achieved six more number-ones: "Stronger", "Lovin' You", "Some Lovin'" (Murk vs. Kristine W), "Fly Again", "Save My Soul", and "The Wonder of It All". As a result, Kristine W achieved nine consecutive number-one songs, a record. This streak ended when "I'll Be Your Light" peaked at number two in 2006. However, this record was broken by Jennifer Lopez in 2013 who achieved a streak of 11 number-ones, and since has been broken again by Katy Perry, who has achieved a currently unbroken streak of 16. "Walk Away", a song by Tony Moran on which Kristine W features, reached number-one in 2007.
  Kristine W's fourth studio album, The Power of Music (2009), became one of only three albums in the history of the chart to produce at least six number-songs, the others being Beyoncé's third studio album I Am... Sasha Fierce (2008) which also achieved six, and Katy Perry's second studio album Teenage Dream (2010), which attained a record holding seven. "The Boss", "Never", "Love Is the Look",  "Be Alright", the title track and "Fade" all topped the chart between 2008 and 2011. "The Boss" set a record by being the only song in the history of the chart to reach number-one by three different artists; by the original performer Diana Ross in 1979, and by The Braxtons and Kristine W who covered the song in 1997 and 2008, respectively.
  The title track became her fifteenth number-one song, tying her with Mariah Carey for third most chart toppers behind Janet Jackson with 19 and Madonna with 40 (at the time), as well as her sixth consecutive number-one since "I'll Be Your Light". In an interview with Billboard, the singer commented on being one of four artists to have achieved the most number-ones: "I am so honored to be in the company of these amazing women. They are so talented." "Fade" became her sixteenth and most recent number-one song in June 2011 - as well as her sixth from the album - breaking her tie with Carey and assuming sole third position for the most hits behind Jackson and Madonna, at the time of charting. In 2018, Kristine W added her seventeenth number one in the January 27 issue with “Stars.” It also meant that up until this point, 16 of her 18 entries on the chart had reached number-one, the exception being the aforementioned "I'll Be Your Light".
