Every Song From Lemonade Makes The Hot 100
2016
Following the release of Beyoncé's Lemonade, all 12 tracks on the album debut on the Hot 100, breaking Taylor Swift's 2010 record for most songs on the chart at the same time by a female artist.
The chart placings:
#10 "Formation"
#11 "Sorry"
#13 "Hold Up"
#18 "6 Inch" (featuring The Weeknd)
#28 "Don't Hurt Yourself" (featuring Jack White)
#35 "Freedom" (eaturing Kendrick Lamar)
#37 "Pray You Catch Me"
#38 "All Night"
#41 "Daddy Lessons"
#43 "Sandcastles"
#47 "Love Drought"
#63 "Forward" featuring James Blake
This is the first time every song from an album has debuted on the Hot 100. It's a result of new distribution models that don't rely on singles - the chart factors in digital downloads and streaming, so any song can land on the chart regardless of whether or not it is deemed a "single." This is a stark contrast to the days when singles were meted out from a hit album over the course of a months, and sometimes over a year.
