On the Billboard Hot 100, she has achieved: 4 number 1 singles, 12 Top 10 singles, 22 Top 40 singles and a total of 34 charted singles as a solo artist. Combined with the entries she had as part of Sonny & Cher: 5 number 1 singles, 17 Top 10 singles, 32 Top 40 hits and a total of 52 singles which charted on the Billboard Hot 100.^[1]

Cher is the fifth-ranked female artist with the most Billboard US Hot 100 charted singles.^[1] She has reached the Top 10 on the Hot 100 at least once during each of four decades—the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s and 1990s—placing her in a tie for second place in that category as of May 2014, alongside Aerosmith, Barbra Streisand, Madonna and Whitney Houston, only behind Michael Jackson. Cher's span of top 10 records on the Hot 100 stretches for a total of 33 years, one month and three weeks (not counting the Sonny and Cher hits "I Got You Babe" and "Baby Don't Go"), from "Bang Bang" in 1966 to "Believe" in 1999, placing her in third place in that category as of May 2014, behind only Jackson and Carlos Santana.^[2]

Cher's career as a recording artist spans seven decades and she is the only artist to have a number-one single on a Billboard chart in each of the past seven decades. This feat was accomplished when Cher released "DJ Play a Christmas Song", the lead single from her studio album Christmas, on October 6, 2023. It reached the number-one spot on the Billboard Dance/Electronic Digital Song Sales chart.^[3] It peaked at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it her first appearance on the chart since 2002. In the UK, she is the only solo artist to have a top-40 hit in seven consecutive decades, as well as being the oldest female singer to have a top-40 hit. She has had a total of 34 top-40 hits, beginning with "All I Really Want to Do" in 1965 through "DJ Play a Christmas Song" in 2023.^[4]
