Missy Elliott has released six Platinum albums and 74 singles (44 as a featured performer) without reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100.
She’s had five top ten singles as a solo artist and six as a feature. But what sets her apart and earns her inclusion in this list is how close she came to #1 and for how long. While Creedence Clearwater Revival have had the most songs at #2 without a #1 hit, Missy Elliott has spent the most weeks there.
I haven’t done a ‘What the Kid are Listening To’ series since last August (not counting January’s year-end installment), so I figured it’s high time to dive into the current Billboard Hot 100. This week and next, I’ll look at nine songs topping the chart the last week of March.
At #1 is the song ‘Lose Control’ by Teddy Swims, a Georgia-based singer-songwriter whose blend of country and soul earned him a fanbase through YouTube. This song is the second single from his debut album, I’ve Tried Everything but Therapy (Part 1).
