After beating Jacko, Minaj is now tied with Rod Stewart who also has 51 Hot 100 entries. After learning of her new chart record, Minaj took to Instagram to share her excitement. "Made history today. I didn't even know I was tied with Michael Jackson with 50 Hot 100 entries on Billboard. Anaconda makes 51 and now I'm tied with Rod Stewart. God bless, and thank you," she wrote.
