At least in terms of Top 10 hits…
Today Robert Sylvester surpassed Nat King Cole’s record as having the most top 10 hits in history. Pretty impressive stuff, even though I can’t believe “Number One” is actually a top 10 record. I kinda think it’s pretty unforgettable. Pow! It has even sold a whopping 91k copies digitally. Kells stans unite!
Sez Billboard:
