A look at the pop icon's history on the chart.

As Janet Jackson celebrates her birthday (May 16), Billboard takes a look at the singer's history on the Billboard Hot 100.

Born as the youngest of 10 children to Joseph and Katherine Jackson, Janet was destined to enter the music industry with her brothers and sister: "Young Love," her inaugural single on the Hot 100, was released when she was just 16 years old. Jackson landed her first of 10 No. 1s on the chart in 1986 with "When I Think of You," which reigned for two weeks. She achieved her biggest smash on the chart three years later with "Miss You Much."

Jackson is one of the most influential female artists to cross through the pop, R&B; and dance genres, with 19 and 15 No. 1s on the Dance Club Songs and Hot R&B;/Hip-Hop Songs charts, respectively. She's also scored seven No. 1 albums on the Billboard 200, between 1986 and 2015.

Jackson (who first broke through with TV roles on sitcoms Good Times and Diff'rent Strokes) has won five Grammy Awards and has been nominated for both an Academy Award and Golden Globe Award. She was honored as the first-ever MTV Icon Award recipient in 2001 and received the MTV Video Vanguard Award in 1990.

Here's a look at the superstar's top-performing hits on the Hot 100.
