Nicki Minaj recently debuted three new tracks, all three of which locked in spots on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. This ups her count of Billboard Hot 100 entries to 76, beating out Aretha Franklin’s 73 Hot 100 hits. Minaj’s “No Frauds” featuring Drake and Lil Wayne took the No. 14 spot, while “Regret in Your Tears” locked in No. 61 and the Weezy-assisted “Changed It” hit No. 71.
