The totals for Madonna, Michael Jackson, Stevie Wonder, and so on would remain as is.

NOTE: Billboard now credits the dual #1 Presley single "Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog" as a single chart entity. However, chart statistician Joel Whitburn still lists Presley as having 18 number ones. Much of that total factors in pre-Hot 100 data. If counting from the August 1958 Hot 100 inception, Presley attained 7 number one songs.
