List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and Milestones - wikipedia List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and Milestones This is a comprehensive listing that highlights significant achievements and milestones based upon Billboard magazine 's singles charts, most notably the Billboard Hot 100. This list spans the period from the issue dated January 1, 1955 to present. The Billboard Hot 100 began with the issue dated August 4, 1958, and is currently the standard popular music chart 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, their data are included for computational purposes, and to avoid unenlightening or misleading characterizations. All items listed below are from the Hot 100 era, unless otherwise noted ( pre-Hot 100 charts ).

From 1955 to 2001, under Billboard 's previous methodologies, only two singles ascended directly to # 1 from a previous position beneath the Top 20 : The Beatles ' `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '', which jumped from # 27 to the top slot in April 1964, and Brandy and Monica 's `` The Boy Is Mine '' which jumped from # 23 to # 1 in June 1998.

One exception was Jeannie C. Riley 's `` Harper Valley PTA, '' which advanced 74 slots in August 1968 ; 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.

When the songs originally charted in 1984, their chart positions in their final week on the Hot 100 were well below the top 10. † † -- A recurring holiday song charting during the Christmas season. * -- `` You Belong with Me '' later re-entered the Hot 100 as a single in 2009 to reach a peak of # 2. The recurring song 's final week on the Hot 100 was in 2010, when it was low as possible on the chart. Prior to 2008, the biggest drop off the Hot 100 was `` Nights in White Satin '' by The Moody Blues, which ranked at # 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 went unchallenged for more than three decades, but every title listed above achieved its drop - off after just four weeks or less on the Hot 100. `` Nights in White Satin '' and `` Junior 's Farm '' dropped off after 18 and 12 weeks, respectively.

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 # 1 for the artist, such as Madonna 's `` Like a Virgin '' ( six weeks at # 1, compared to seven for `` Take a Bow '' ), Mariah Carey 's `` We Belong Together '' ( fourteen weeks at # 1, compared to sixteen for her duet with Boyz II Men, `` One Sweet Day '' ) and Michael Jackson 's duet with Paul McCartney, `` Say Say Say '' ( six weeks at # 1, compared to seven for both his solo singles `` Billie Jean '' and `` Black or White '' ). Billboard now credits the dual # 1 Presley single `` Do n't Be Cruel '' / `` Hound Dog '' as a single chart entity. `` Do n't Be Cruel '' / `` Hound Dog '' spent 11 weeks at # 1, `` Hound Dog '' for 6 weeks, `` Do n't Be Cruel '' for 5 weeks. Many chart statisticians however, such as Joel Whitburn still lists Presley as having 18 number ones.

Source : Selected additional Hot 100 achievements The first # 1 song on the Hot 100 was `` Poor Little Fool '' by Ricky Nelson ( August 4, 1958 ). The # 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 ). The # 1 song in the first week Billboard allowed songs without a commercial single release to chart on the Hot 100 was `` I 'm Your Angel '' by R. Kelly and Céline Dion ( December 5, 1998 ). Though the song was making its first appearance on the Hot 100 that week, Billboard did not consider it a debut at # 1, since it appeared on unpublished test charts prior to the allowance of airplay - only songs on the main chart. `` I 'm Your Angel '' also entered the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart that week at # 1, so it would have been ineligible to chart on the Hot 100 before then. The first `` airplay - only '' song to reach # 1 ( no points from a commercial single release ) was `` Try Again '' by Aaliyah ( June 17, 2000 ). Drake holds the record for the most entries in the Hot 100 during a one - week period, with 24 on the April 8, 2017 chart. The Beatles had long held this record, occupying 14 positions on the Hot 100 dated April 11, 1964, a feat unmatched for nearly 51 years. On March 7, 2015, Drake tied the Beatles mark, and he equaled it again on October 17 that year. Justin Bieber then reset the record to 17 on December 5, 2015, before Drake reclaimed the record with 20 on May 21, 2016. Drake also holds the record for the most debuting entries on a Hot 100 chart by any artist, with 21 on April 8, 2017. Beyoncé is the record - holder among female artists for the most simultaneous entries in the Hot 100, with 12 on the May 14, 2016 chart. The Beatles are the only artists to simultaneously hold the top 2 spots on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart and Billboard 200 albums chart. They achieved this feat for nine consecutive weeks, from February 29, 1964, to April 25, 1964. For the first five weeks of that run, through March 28, 1964, `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '' and `` She Loves You '' were the # 1 and # 2 singles ( which swapped positions during March 1964 ), while Meet the Beatles ! and Introducing... The Beatles held the top 2 spots on the albums charts. For the remaining weeks of the run, `` Ca n't Buy Me Love '' and their cover of `` Twist and Shout '' were the # 1 and # 2 singles, while Meet the Beatles ! and Introducing... The Beatles continued their reign as the top 2 albums. Barry Gibb, Robin Gibb, John Lennon, and Paul McCartney hold the record of writing all of the Top 3 singles for one week. The Gibbs co-wrote the top 3 singles for the week of March 18, 1978 -- # 1 `` Night Fever '' and # 2 `` Stayin ' Alive '' for the Bee Gees, and # 3 `` Emotion '' for Samantha Sang. Lennon and McCartney co-wrote the top 3 singles for the week of March 14, 1964 -- # 1 `` I Want to Hold Your Hand '', # 2 `` She Loves You '', and # 3 `` Please Please Me '', all for The Beatles. They continued this record the following week of March 21, 1964, when `` She Loves You '' switched places with `` I Want to Hold Your Hand ''. The Black Eyed Peas hold the record for the longest uninterrupted time at # 1 on the Hot 100, a total of 26 consecutive weeks from April to October 2009. `` Boom Boom Pow '' spent the first 12 weeks on top, with `` I Gotta Feeling '' taking over for the remaining 14 weeks. Prior to August 2009, Usher held this record, spending 19 consecutive weeks on top of the chart in 2004 with `` Yeah ! '' ( 12 weeks at # 1 ) and `` Burn '' ( first 7 of its 8 total weeks at # 1 ). Taylor Swift holds the all - time record for most top ten debuts on the Hot 100, with 14. On December 4, 2010, Rihanna 's `` Only Girl ( In the World ) '' reached the top spot two weeks after `` What 's My Name ? '', becoming the first time in Hot 100 history that an album 's debut single hit # 1 after the second single did. Ed Sheeran became the first artist to debut more than one song in the top 10 for the same week. On the chart dated January 28, 2017, `` Shape of You '' debuted at # 1, while `` Castle on the Hill '' entered at # 6. Drake is the only other artist to have achieved this feat, doing so on April 8, 2017. Drake holds the record for being on the Hot 100 for the most consecutive weeks. He placed at least one song, either in a lead or featured role, on every chart from his debut on May 23, 2009, to August 19, 2017, for a total of 431 weeks in a row.
