Nick Cannon thinks Bruno Mars has more hits than Beyoncé and Taylor Swift
- Nick Cannon thinks Bruno Mars has more hit songs than Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
- "I'm a Beyoncé fan. I still believe Bruno Mars actually has more hit records," he said.
Nick Cannon has said he thinks Bruno Mars has more hit songs than Beyoncé and Taylor Swift.
The "Wild 'n Out" host made the assertion while discussing who he would rather see live on Monday's episode of his radio show, "The Daily Cannon."
"See, I think, no offense, but I would rather go to a Bruno Mars show than a Beyoncé or Taylor Swift," Cannon said. "Who got more hits?"
When his cohost Courtney Bledsoe chose Beyoncé, he responded: "I'm a Beyoncé fan. I still believe Bruno Mars actually has more hit records."
"Don't play me with, Nick," replied Bledsoe as she listed a string of Beyoncé's biggest hits, including "Crazy in Love," "Drunk in Love," and "Single Ladies."
"Wait a minute, I didn't even go to Destiny's Child," she added.
"I still believe Bruno Mars actually has more hits than Beyoncé," Cannon said, at which point Bledsoe asked him to name one of Mars' hits.
After Cannon failed to name a single one, Bledsoe laughed and said: "You can't name a hit! Not a hit in sight."
While Cannon could not name a Bruno Mars hit, the Hawaiian singer does have plenty.
In total, he's had 32 songs chart on the Billboard Hot 100, 18 of which have made the top 10, and eight of which have made it to No. 1, including "Uptown Funk!" and "That's What I Like."
Mars' figures are no doubt impressive, but they come short when compared to Beyoncé's.
As a solo artist, she's had a massive 81 songs chart on the Billboard Hot 100, 21 of which have made the top 10, and eight of which have made it to No. 1.
With Destiny's Child, Beyoncé had 14 songs that charted on the Billboard Hot 100. 10 of those were top 10 hits, and four reached the top spot, including "Say My Name" and "Independent Women Part I."
Swift, meanwhile, has appeared on the Hot 100 189 times. 40 of her songs have made the top 10, and nine of them have reached No. 1.
