List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones

The Billboard Hot 100 is a singles chart published by Billboard which measures the most popular singles in the United States. Prior to the creation of the Hot 100, Billboard published four singles charts: "Best Sellers in Stores", "Most Played by Jockeys", "Most Played in Jukeboxes" and "The Top 100". These charts, which ranged from 20 to 100 slots, were phased out at different times between 1957 and 1958. Though technically not part of the Hot 100 chart history, select data from these charts are included for computational purposes, and to avoid unenlightening or misleading characterizations. Throughout the history of the Hot 100 and its predecessor charts, many songs have set records for longevity, popularity, or number of hit singles by an individual artist. Among these records is the longest-running number one single "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X, which spent 19 weeks at that position. The Beatles have the most number one hits on the chart, with 20 songs having reached that position.

All-time achievements

In 2008, for the 50th anniversary of the Hot 100, Billboard magazine compiled a ranking of the 100 best-performing songs on the chart over the 50 years, along with the best-performing artists.^[1][2] In 2013, Billboard revised the rankings for the chart's 55th anniversary edition.^[3] In 2015, Billboard revised the rankings again.^[4] In 2018, the rankings were revised again for the Billboard chart's 60th anniversary.^[5] In 2021, Billboard revised the rankings again upon the ascendance of "Blinding Lights" to the top spot on the list.^[6] Shown below are the top 10 songs and top 10 artists over the 63-year period of the Hot 100, through November 2021. Also shown are the artists placing the most songs on the overall "all-time" top 100 song list.

Pre-Hot 100 notes:

• In 1956, Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog" / "Don't Be Cruel" was number 1 on the "Best Sellers in Stores" and "Most Played in Jukeboxes" charts for 11 weeks.
• In 1955, The McGuire Sisters' "Sincerely" was number 1 on the "Most Played by Jockeys" chart for 10 weeks.
• In 1955, Pérez Prado's "Cherry Pink and Apple Blossom White" was number 1 on the "Best Sellers in Stores" chart for 10 weeks.

Additional notes:

• Before the use of Nielsen SoundScan and Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems to compile the Hot 100 in late 1991, the most number of weeks a single spent at number one on the Hot 100 was 10. This occurred twice, with Debby Boone's "You Light Up My Life" in 1977, and Olivia Newton-John's "Physical" in 1981–82. Five additional singles managed nine weeks at number one during the first 34 years of the chart (1958–1992). In October 1992, the first single to top the Hot 100 for more than 10 weeks was Boyz II Men's "End of the Road",^[7] which accumulated 13 weeks at number one by November that year.

Changes in when the eligibility of a single first begins, as well as more accurate digital download totals, have made abrupt chart jumps more commonplace. From 1955 to 2001, under Billboard's previous methodologies, only two singles ascended directly to No. 1 from a previous position beneath the Top 20: The Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love", which jumped from No. 27 to the top slot in April 1964, and Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" which jumped from No. 23 to No. 1 in June 1998.

	100–15	A. R. Rahman and Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger	"Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)"	March 14, 2009	^[53]

Under Billboard's previous methodologies, jumps of this magnitude were rare. One exception was Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley PTA," which advanced 74 slots in August 1968;^[54] this upward acceleration went unmatched for 30 years, but has been surpassed over a dozen times since 2006. Changes in when the eligibility of a single first begins, as well as more accurate digital download totals, have made abrupt chart jumps more commonplace.

Non-holiday songs

Below are songs not connected to Christmas or the holiday season. (A special section for the holiday songs is below, as a few of those songs set higher records for dropping off the Hot 100 in early 2019 and 2020.)

†† – "Purple Rain" and "When Doves Cry" reappeared on the Hot 100 for two weeks in 2016, and the above reflects their re-entries only. When the songs originally charted in 1984, their chart positions in their final week on the Hot 100 were well below the top 10.

Prior to 2008, the biggest drop off the Hot 100 was "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues, which ranked at No. 17 in its final week on the chart in December 1972. This high drop-off position was matched in January 1975 by "Junior's Farm" by Paul McCartney and Wings. The record descent held for over three decades. With the exception of "Calm Down", each song above dropped off the Hot 100 upon four or fewer weeks; "Nights in White Satin" and "Junior's Farm" dropped off after 18 and 12 weeks, respectively.

Holiday songs

During November and December beginning some time in the 2010s, these songs have regularly appeared on the Hot 100, generally departing from the chart once the holiday season ends in January. More recently, they have reached into the top ten, and in 2019, for only the second time ever on the Hot 100 (the first since 1958), made it to number one. This has led to all-time records for dropping off the Hot 100, including from number one, as the songs depart regardless of their final chart positions during the season. Only the highest drop-off position per song is listed and its most recent date if achieved more than once, like "All I Want for Christmas Is You", which first dropped off the Hot 100 from number one on January 11, 2020, and did so again in 2022 and 2023.

† – The biggest number-one listed by each artist reflects its overall performance on the Hot 100, as calculated by Billboard, and may not necessarily be the single which spent the most weeks at No. 1 for the artist, such as Madonna's "Like a Virgin" (six weeks at No. 1, compared to seven for "Take a Bow"), Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" (fourteen weeks at No. 1, compared to sixteen for her duet with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day"), Janet Jackson's "Miss You Much" (four weeks at No. 1, compared to eight for "That's the Way Love Goes"), Michael Jackson's duet with Paul McCartney, "Say Say Say" (six weeks at No. 1, compared to seven for both his solo singles "Billie Jean" and "Black or White") and Taylor Swift's "Shake It Off" (four weeks at No. 1, compared to eight for "Anti-Hero").

‡ – Pre-Hot 100 charts and Hot 100.

• Billboard now credits the dual No. 1 Presley single "Don't Be Cruel"/"Hound Dog" as a single chart entity, and credits Presley with 17 number one singles.^[122] "Don't Be Cruel"/"Hound Dog" spent 11 weeks at No. 1, "Hound Dog" for 6 weeks, and "Don't Be Cruel" for 5 weeks. Many chart statisticians, however, such as Joel Whitburn, still list Presley as having 18 number ones.

• If counting Drake's uncredited feature on Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode", then he would have 14 total number ones.

† – Pre-Hot 100 charts and Hot 100. Presley is sometimes credited with an "80th week" that occurred when "All Shook Up" spent a ninth week on top of the "Most Played in Jukeboxes" chart. Although Billboard's chart statistician Joel Whitburn still counts this 80th week based on preexisting research, Billboard magazine itself has since revised its methodology and officially credits Presley with 79 weeks.^[122] Much of Presley's total factors in pre-Hot 100 data. If counting from the August 1958 Hot 100 inception, Presley totaled 22 weeks at No. 1.

• Note: For singer Fergie, if Black Eyed Peas is included, this would put Fergie on the list with 34 weeks at No. 1.
• Note: For singer Michael Jackson, if The Jackson 5, which would also be later known as The Jacksons, is included, this would give Michael Jackson 47 cumulative weeks at No. 1.^[124]
• Note: For singer Beyoncé, if Destiny's Child is included, this would give Beyoncé 61 cumulative weeks at No. 1.^[124]
• Note: For singer Diana Ross, if The Supremes are included, this would give Diana Ross 42 cumulative weeks at No. 1.
• Note: For each of the Beatles:^[124]
  • If John Lennon's total weeks were to include the Beatles, this would give John Lennon 65 cumulative weeks at No. 1.
  • If Paul McCartney's total weeks were to include the Beatles, as well as Wings, this would give Paul McCartney 89 cumulative weeks at No. 1.
  • If George Harrison's total weeks were to include the Beatles, this would give George Harrison 65 cumulative weeks at No. 1.
  • If Ringo Starr's total weeks were to include the Beatles, this would give Ringo Starr 61 cumulative weeks at No. 1.
• Note: For rapper Drake, if the track "Sicko Mode" is included, this would give him 57 weeks at No. 1.

Most consecutive number-one singles

Number of singles	Artist	First hit and date	Final hit and date	Streak-breaking song
7	Whitney Houston	"Saving All My Love for You" (October 26, 1985)	"Where Do Broken Hearts Go" (April 23, 1988)	"Love Will Save the Day" (No. 9 – August 27, 1988)
6	The Beatles	"I Feel Fine" (December 26, 1964)	"We Can Work It Out" (January 8, 1966)	"Nowhere Man" (No. 3 – March 26, 1966)
	Bee Gees	"How Deep Is Your Love" (December 24, 1977)	"Love You Inside Out" (June 9, 1979)	"He's A Liar" (No. 30 – October 24, 1981)
5	Elvis Presley	"A Big Hunk o' Love" (August 10, 1959)	"Surrender" (March 20, 1961)	"I Feel So Bad" (No. 5 – May 1961)
	The Supremes	"Where Did Our Love Go" (August 22, 1964)	"Back in My Arms Again" (June 12, 1965)	"Nothing but Heartaches" (No. 11 – September 4, 1965)
	Michael Jackson	"I Just Can't Stop Loving You" (with Siedah Garrett) (September 19, 1987)	"Dirty Diana" (July 2, 1988)	"Another Part of Me" (No. 11 – September 10, 1988)
	Mariah Carey	"Vision of Love" (August 4, 1990)	"Emotions" (October 12, 1991)	"Can't Let Go" (No. 2 – January 25, 1992)
		"Fantasy" (September 30, 1995)	"My All" (May 23, 1998)	"When You Believe" (with Whitney Houston) (No. 15 – January 30, 1999)
	Katy Perry	"California Gurls" (featuring Snoop Dogg) (June 19, 2010)	"Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)" (August 27, 2011)	"The One That Got Away" (No. 3 – January 7, 2012)

• Houston's "Thinking About You" is not counted as interrupting the streak, as it never appeared on the Hot 100, due to not being released to Pop radio. Likewise, Perry's "Not Like the Movies" and "Circle the Drain" were only promotional singles, not radio singles.
• With the streak spanning from her debut single "Vision of Love" until "Emotions," Mariah Carey became the first artist in Hot 100 history to have their first 5 solo singles reach No. 1 on the chart.

• Saturday Night Fever generated number-one singles for two different artists: "How Deep Is Your Love", "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever" by the Bee Gees; and "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman. A Fifth Of Beethoven by Walter Murphy, You Should Be Dancing and Jive Talkin' by the Bee Gees all reached No. 1 but are from earlier albums, so these aren't generated from "Saturday Night Fever".
• Katy Perry's Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection was a reissue of the Teenage Dream album, and featured an additional single, "Part of Me", which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This brings her actual total to six. However, this does not count since the single comes from a reissue of the album and not the original release.^[201]

Selected additional Hot 100 achievements

• The first No. 1 song on the Hot 100 was "Poor Little Fool" by Ricky Nelson (August 4, 1958).^[226]
• The shortest No. 1 song of all time is "Stay" by Maurice Williams And The Zodiacs (November 21, 1960). It is 1 minute and 38 seconds long.^[227][228]
• The longest No. 1 song of all time is "All Too Well (Taylor's Version)" by Taylor Swift (November 27, 2021). It is 10 minutes and 13 seconds long.^[229]
• The No. 1 song with the longest title contains 41 words and topped the charts for Stars on 45 in June 1981. Though DJs announced it as the Stars on 45 Medley, its official title is "Medley: Intro 'Venus' / Sugar Sugar / No Reply / I'll Be Back / Drive My Car / Do You Want to Know a Secret / We Can Work It Out / I Should Have Known Better / Nowhere Man / You're Going to Lose That Girl / Stars on 45."
• The No. 1 song in the first week Billboard incorporated sales and airplay data from Nielsen SoundScan and Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems was "Set Adrift on Memory Bliss" by P.M. Dawn (November 30, 1991).^[230]

Though the song was making its first appearance on the Hot 100 that week, Billboard did not consider it a debut at No. 1, since it appeared on unpublished test charts prior to the allowance of airplay-only songs on the main chart.^[232] "I'm Your Angel" also entered the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart that week at No. 1,^[233] so it would have been ineligible to chart on the Hot 100 before then.
