# List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones

The Billboard Hot 100 is a singles chart published by Billboard that measures the most popular singles in the United States, based on sales (physical and digital), online streaming, and radio airplay. 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, a record set with "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X, and later tied with "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey—both songs spent 19 weeks at that position. The Beatles have the most number one hits on the chart, with 20 songs having reached that position.
Before the Hot 100's creation in 1958, Billboard published four singles charts: "Best Sellers in Stores", "Most Played by Jockeys", "Most Played in Jukeboxes", and "The Top 100". These charts, which had from 20 to 100 slots, were phased out in 1957 and 1958. Though technically not part of the Hot 100 chart history, some data from these charts are included for computational purposes, and to avoid unenlightening or misleading characterizations.

## 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. In 2013, Billboard revised the rankings for the chart's 55th anniversary edition. In 2015, Billboard revised the rankings again. In 2018, the rankings were revised again for the Billboard chart's 60th anniversary. In 2021, Billboard revised the rankings again upon the ascendance of "Blinding Lights" to the top spot on the list.
Billboard says its rankings are "based on weekly performance on the Hot 100 (from its inception on Aug. 4, 1958, through Nov. 6, 2021). Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value and weeks at lower spots earning the least. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted differently to account for chart turnover rates during various periods. Artists are ranked based on a formula blending performance, as outlined above, of all their Hot 100 chart entries."

* 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", which accumulated 13 weeks at number one by November that year.

| Number of weeks | Artist(s) | Song | Year entered |
| 71 | Mariah Carey | "All I Want for Christmas Is You" | 2000 |

| 36 | José Feliciano | "Feliz Navidad" | 2017 |
| 35 | Dean Martin | "Let It Snow! Let It Snow! Let It Snow!" | 2018 |

### Biggest jump to number one

| Chart movement | Artist(s) | Song | Date |
| 97–1 | Kelly Clarkson | "My Life Would Suck Without You" | February 7, 2009 |
| 96–1 | Britney Spears | "Womanizer" | October 25, 2008 |
| 80–1 | T.I. featuring Rihanna | "Live Your Life" | October 18, 2008 |
| 78–1 | Eminem, Dr. Dre and 50 Cent | "Crack a Bottle" | February 21, 2009 |
| 77–1 | Taylor Swift | "Look What You Made Me Do" | September 16, 2017 |
| 72–1 | Taylor Swift | "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" | September 1, 2012 |
| 71–1 | T.I. | "Whatever You Like" | September 6, 2008 |
| 68–1 | Adele | "Easy on Me" | October 30, 2021 |
| 64–1 | Maroon 5 | "Makes Me Wonder" | May 12, 2007 |
| 60–1 | Rihanna featuring Drake | "What's My Name?" | November 20, 2010 |
    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.

### Biggest single-week upward movements

| No. of positions | Chart movement | Artist(s) | Song | Date |
| 98 | 100–2 | Taylor Swift featuring Brendon Urie | "Me!" | May 11, 2019 |
| 96 | 97–1 | Kelly Clarkson | "My Life Would Suck Without You" | February 7, 2009 |
| 95 | 96–1 | Britney Spears | "Womanizer" | October 25, 2008 |
| 92 | 94–2 | Billie Eilish | "Therefore I Am" | November 28, 2020 |
| 91 | 94–3 | Beyoncé and Shakira | "Beautiful Liar" | April 7, 2007 |
| 90 | 94–4 | Maroon 5 featuring Cardi B | "Girls Like You" | June 16, 2018 |
| 88 | 95–7 | Akon featuring Eminem | "Smack That" | October 14, 2006 |
| 88 | 97–9 | Drake featuring Nicki Minaj | "Make Me Proud" | November 5, 2011 |
| 85 | 96–11 | Carrie Underwood | "Cowboy Casanova" | October 10, 2009 |
| 85 | 100–15 | A. R. Rahman and Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger | "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" | March 14, 2009 |
    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; 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.

| Chart movement | Artist(s) | Song | Date |
| 4–Off | Prince and The Revolution | "Purple Rain"$^{††}$ | May 21, 2016 |
| 6–Off | J. Cole | "7 Minute Drill" | April 27, 2024 |
| 8–Off | Prince | "When Doves Cry"$^{††}$ | May 21, 2016 |
| 9–Off | Soko | "We Might Be Dead by Tomorrow" | April 5, 2014 |
| 10–Off | Rema and Selena Gomez | "Calm Down" | October 21, 2023 |
| 11–Off | Jonas Brothers | "A Little Bit Longer" | August 30, 2008 |
| 11–Off | Taylor Swift | "Mean" | November 13, 2010 |
| 11–Off | One Direction | "Diana" | December 14, 2013 |
| 11–Off | Taylor Swift | "Love Story (Taylor's Version)" | March 6, 2021 |

| 12–Off | Lady Gaga | "Hair" | June 11, 2011 |
| 12–Off | One Direction | "Midnight Memories" | December 14, 2013 |
†† – "Purple Rain" and "When Doves Cry" reappeared on the Hot 100 for two weeks in 2016 after Prince's death, and the above reflects their re-entries only. On their original releases, in their respective last weeks before falling off the chart, "When Doves Cry" ranked No. 96 in October 1984, and "Purple Rain" ranked No. 91 in January 1985.
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, such as "All I Want for Christmas Is You", which first dropped off the Hot 100 from number one on January 11, 2020, and has done so several times since.
| Chart movement | Artist(s) | Song | Date |
| 1–Off | Mariah Carey | "All I Want for Christmas Is You" | January 11, 2025 |
| 1–Off | Brenda Lee | "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" | January 13, 2024 |

"Billboard Hot 100"

### Songs charting every week for a given calendar year on the Hot 100

There have been a handful of songs that charted more than 52 weeks throughout their runs, but only five songs have managed to chart on the Hot 100 every week within a given calendar year. The first to accomplish such a milestone was Jewel's "You Were Meant for Me" charting each week of 1997.
| Year | Song | Artist(s) | Total weeks charted |
| 1997 | "You Were Meant for Me" / "Foolish Games" | Jewel | 65 |
| 2013 | "Radioactive" | Imagine Dragons | 87 |
| 2020 | "Blinding Lights" | The Weeknd | 90 |
| 2023 | "Snooze" | SZA | 70 |
| 2024 | "Lose Control" | Teddy Swims | 78 |
* Note - Jewel's "Foolish Games" began appearing on the Hot 100 in September 1997, but was paired with "You Were Meant for Me" for the remainder of that song's chart run.
* Note - Dua Lipa's "Levitating" (solo or with DaBaby) charted every week of 2021 through December 4, 2021, and most likely could have charted all 52 weeks despite Billboard's recurrent rules. For the remaining three weeks of 2021, the song charted at number one on Billboard's recurrent chart, due to holiday songs taking up much of the Hot 100 and pushing many non-holiday songs off the chart. Once the holiday season ended, "Levitating" returned to the Hot 100 in early 2022.
* Note - SZA's "Kill Bill" charted every week of 2023 through December 2, 2023, and most likely could have charted all 52 weeks despite Billboard's recurrent rules, due to holiday songs taking up much of the Hot 100 and pushing many non-holiday songs off the chart. Once the holiday season ended, "Kill Bill" returned to the Hot 100 in early 2024.

‡ – 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. "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.

† – 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. 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 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.
* Note: For singer Beyoncé, if Destiny's Child is included, this would give Beyoncé 63 cumulative weeks at No. 1.
* 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:
** 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 songs

| Number of singles | Artist | First hit and date | Final hit and date | Streak-breaking song |

| 5 | 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) |

   * 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.

## Selected additional Hot 100 achievements

* 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.
* 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.
* 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).

"I'm Your Angel" also entered the Hot 100 Singles Sales chart that week at No. 1, so it would have been ineligible to chart on the Hot 100 before then.

For the first five weeks of that run, through March 28, 1964, "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and "She Loves You" were the No. 1 and No. 2 singles (which swapped positions during March 1964), while Meet the Beatles! and Introducing... The Beatles held the top 2 spots on the albums chart.
