Pop Culture Rewind: Tina Turner’s Hits, Career & Chart Achievements | Billboard News

Billboard looks back on Tina Tuner’s hits, career and chart achievements.

Evan Burke:

She’s “Simply the Best.” Today we celebrate the birthday of Tina Turner, one of music history’s most electrifying performers. From her charting hits to her amazing accolades, we run through it all in today’s Pop Culture Rewind.

Tina Turner was born on November 26, 1939. Ms. Turner kicked off her half-century career in the late 1950s, but it wasn’t until 1971 that she gained her first top 10 with Ike Turner and their version of the Creedence Clearwater Revival song “Proud Mary.”

Over the course of her career, she landed 18 songs on the Hot 100 with 1984’s “What’s Love Got To Do With It” becoming one of her most iconic hits. The song also won record of the year and best female pop vocal performance at the Grammys in 1985. She has a career total of eight Grammys. Tina has been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice, once as a part of Ike & Tina Turner in 1991, and again in 2021, as a solo artist.

The prolific artist passed away on May 24, 2023. There is currently a Broadway show Tina that celebrates her life touring the United States.
