She has had that many considering her output i think 17 solo and then the rest features so 25 or so and considering she has had over 40 singles not that many Britney with thirty has had almost as many. Madonna has to be the female with the most right ?

I think Cliff actually has 69 Top 10 hits (5 in the 50's, 34 in the 60's, 4 in the 70's, 15 in the 80's, 7 in the 90's and 4 in the 00's).

Not including collective charity songs:

Rihanna has 18 solo Top Ten hits and 5 Top Ten Featured Hits, so 23 in total.

Madonna has 59.

Kylie has 34 (including 4 features).

Robbie has 30 (including 1 feature).

Brintey has 22 (including the will.i.am feature that will chart this week).

Girls Aloud has 21. MJ had 45 (including 5 features). Westlife 25 (including 1 feature).

Paul McCartney has 40 top UK 10 hits if you count The Beatles songs he wrote fully or co-wrote 50-50 equally with John. Thats 17 If you just count his main Beatles compositions. If you strictly count his Wings/solo stuff he still has 23 top 10 hits. It's even more impressive if you count US and other countries sales.

Status Quo have had 22 which is impressive as they sold more than what they were credited for , suppose the 6,000 gigs is proof of that

I know, I just thought the were interesting. It's shocking how many Elvis has actually had. He was like the Rihanna of years ago.

22, if you include that Absolutely Fabulous single and the magnificent What Have I Done To Deserve This?

Just came across this page of chart statistics, which I found interesting. It confirmed the answer to a query I had about who has had those most top 20 singles without having a top 10 hit.
