Seventy-one singles made into top 10 of the Hot 100, the all-genre Billboard singles charts, in 2011. Sixty-eight acts had a top-ten hit during the year, with twenty achieving their first either as a lead or featured artist. Lil Wayne, Bruno Mars, and Rihanna each had six top-ten hits in 2011, tying them for the most top-ten hits during the year. LMFAO's "Party Rock Anthem" (featuring Lauren Bennett and GoonRock) had a twenty-six-week run in the top ten, the longest during the year and tying with Savage Garden's "Truly Madly Deeply" as the fourth-longest in Billboard history. In the beginning of 2012, the song re-entered the top ten, extending its run to twenty-nine weeks and becoming the fourth-longest-running top-ten single ever behind "How Do I Live" by LeAnn Rimes, "Smooth" by Santana featuring Rob Thomas and "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars, also bumping Jewel's You Were Meant For Me/Foolish Games down to fifth, with 28 weeks.
On the week ending April 30, 2011, singer Katy Perry extended her top ten streak beginning the previous year to forty-nine weeks, breaking a record held by Swedish pop band Ace of Base for seventeen years. Perry went on to log twenty more consecutive weeks in the top ten, extending her record to sixty-nine weeks, before "Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" fell out of the top ten on the week ending September 24, 2011, ending her streak.
Rihanna attained her twentieth top-ten hit when "We Found Love" (featuring Calvin Harris) climbed into the top ten on the week ending October 15, 2011. This made Rihanna the fastest soloist to attain twenty top-ten hits, having done so in a six-year, four-month span, breaking a record previously held by singer Madonna.
