Cher singles discography: History and Key Facts

American entertainer Cher has released 80 official singles, 28 promotional singles and appeared in 36 guest appearances on other artists's songs. On the US Billboard Hot 100, she has achieved five number-one singles, 17 top-ten singles, 32 top-40 singles and a total of 52 charting singles.

In 1998, Billboard ranked Cher the 5th female artist with the most Hot 100 entries. She has reached the Hot 100's Top 10 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 solo top-ten singles on the Hot 100 spans 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 (My Baby Shot Me Down)" in 1966 to "Believe" in 1999, placing her in third place in that category as of May 2014, behind Jackson and Carlos Santana.

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. It peaked at number 90 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, making it her first appearance on the chart since 2002. On the UK singles chart, 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.
