In Billboard magazine, spanning the various singles charts: Hot 100, r&b, country, adult contemporary, rock, dance, latin who had the most cumulative appearances in the end of year top 10s? I don't know enough about the surveys other than Hot 100, r&b and a/c and from there the totals are:

Lionel Richie- 15

Michael Jackson-13 (I suspect he had some hits in dance as well)

Paul McCartney- 11? not sure how many Beatles songs made year end top ten?

Diana Ross- 7

Elton John- 15

Stevie Wonder- 15

Whitney Houston- 10

Elvis Presley- ??

All but Houston and Elvis did this with solo and group work and all had some song that was a year end hit in more than one survey (Ex: Endless Love by Richie and Ross was #1 r&b, #2 pop and #4 a/c for 1981)

Madonna may be up there when you count all the year end appearences she's had on the dance chart

Yeah I would like to see a list of those dance hits. On pop she had the following:

Like A Virgin #2- 1985
Crazy for You- #9 1985
Take A Bow- 1995- I forgot the exact position.

Take A Bow- was also #4 a/c in 1995.

Some of those people didn't have more hits because their songs burned themselves out kind of quickly on the charts even though they may have been chart toppers (none of the songs on Michael Jackson's Bad or Dangerous albums for example).

As for dance I'm guessing Janet Jackson would have a lot. In the other formats she had:

Nasty - #5 r&b 1986
Control #5 r&b 1987
Miss You Much- #5 pop- 1989
That's the Way Love Goes- #3 r&b and #4 pop 1993
Any Time Anyplace/And On and On- forgot the rank but it was in the r&b top ten in 1994
All for You- #3 pop 2001

So Janet has had at least 7 probably more.

I'm curious to know if any country act had 7 or more cumulatively. Kenny Rogers had 5 that I know of.

As for mellow pop singers Barbra Streisand had at least 6 (she may have had some dance hits?) and Celine Dion has had 11 that I know of

I don't kno

I miscounted Whitney Houston actually had 12 including Heartbreak Hotel in 1999.

Mariah Carey had at least 10 not counting dance chart hits

I'm surprised MJ's Black Or White didn't make the top 10 for 1992 considering it spent 7 weeks at #1

It was #15 for that year. What hurt it was that it sprinted to the top of the chart in record time (I believe 3 weeks) and then the next single came out right after it. There are several cases of songs having long runs atop a chart and yet being outranked by songs that never even got to #1 at all. 2001's year end pop top 10 has 6 songs in it that never got to #1 (including the top song by Lifehouse while Destiny's Child's Independent Women which spent 11 weeks at the top of the Hot 100 during the holiday seasons was #10 for the year. There are even a few odd cases of songs making the year end top ten although they never reached the weekly to 10- Why Me a Kris Kristoferson song from 1973 was #6 that year and peaked at #16 on the weekly chart. One Hell of A Woman by Mac Davis in 1974 was another.

Another case was Lose Yourself by Eminem which was #1 for 12 weeks in 2002-03 and was I beleive in the 20s for the year end of 2003 while Picture by Kid Rock which only got as high as #4 or #5 in any week was in the year's top 10.
