    Does the Hot 100 have any relevance here? If she’s in the Top 10, that would already imply Hot 100?

      It’s important because the achievement requires that none of her other singles made the top 100 prior to climbing to the top 10.

      It also feels like it’s not exactly an honor. It’s saying she’s popular, so the songs are instantly top 10 regardless of their quality, whereas songs that climbing to the top are more likely to be songs that catch on and become more popular because people listen to, enjoy, and share them.

        Right, I guess “Top 10” isn’t a thing just the top of the Hot 100.

          Yeah, the headline is talking about the Billboard Hot 100, a chart of the 100 most popular songs of the week.

          The news about her songs being in the “top 10” just means that all her charting singles appeared for the first time in one of the first 10 positions.

          I just checked the chart on the Billboard website and it’s now at number 12, but it debuted last week at the first position.
