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.{{cite news|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1044122/hot-100-anniversary-find-out-the-top-songs-of-all-time|title=Hot 100 Anniversary: Find Out The Top Songs Of All Time|magazine=Billboard|publisher=Nielsen Business Media, Inc|date=October 10, 2008|access-date=January 15, 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150315002736/http://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1044122/hot-100-anniversary-find-out-the-top-songs-of-all-time|archive-date=March 15, 2015|url-status=live}} This contains the heading of the article only, no charts.

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."

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",{{cite magazine | last=Ellis | first=Michael | date=October 24, 1992 | title=Hot 100 Singles Spotlight | page=84 | url=https://books.google.com/books?id=2REEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA84 | magazine=Billboard | access-date=September 3, 2021 | archive-date=November 18, 2022 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221118185514/https://books.google.com/books?id=2REEAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA84 | url-status=live}} which accumulated 13 weeks at number one by November that year.

This list does not include titles which have dropped from number 1 off the Hot 100 altogether; see the Holiday songs section below.
Prior to December 2019, the biggest drop from number one was shared by two songs that were back-to-back number ones in October 1974, both dropping from number one to number 15: "Nothing from Nothing" by Billy Preston, and "Then Came You" by Dionne Warwicke and the Spinners. That record held for more than 45 years.

= Biggest drops off the Hot 100 =
== 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 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,{{cite magazine |title=Hot 100 Singles |magazine=Billboard |date=20 October 1984 |page=68}} and "Purple Rain" ranked No. 91 in January 1985.{{cite magazine |title=Hot 100 Singles |magazine=Billboard |date=19 January 1985 |page=64}}
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.

= 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.
- 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.

A "live version" would be the piece of music performed live (usually in front of an audience) and its cut single from the live album charted. It could also be a re-recording of the music being performed "live" and unplugged with audience that can be heard in the song clapping, cheering or chanting. Only a handful of live songs managed to hit No. 1 compared to its studio versions.

Artist achievements

† – 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"), among other examples on the list.
‡ – 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.{{cite magazine|last1=Bronson|first1=Fred|title=Chart Beat: Fred discusses chart action on Mariah Carey/Madonna/Elvis Presley, James Brown, Fantasia and more!|url=https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1045979/chart-beat|magazine=Billboard|access-date=14 March 2018|date=3 April 2008|quote=Elvis collected his 17th No. 1 in November 1969 when "Suspicious Minds" became the final Hot 100 chart-topper of his career.|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180521093932/https://www.billboard.com/articles/news/1045979/chart-beat|archive-date=May 21, 2018|url-status=live}} "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.

= Most cumulative weeks at number one =
† – 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.

:* 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.

Chart notes: If counting Presley's dual hit song "Don't Be Cruel/Hound Dog" separately, then Elvis has 5 for 1956. Some Presley songs included here charted No. 1 on Cashbox, but not on the Billboard Top 100, the precursor to the Billboard Hot 100.
If counting Drake's feature on Travis Scott's "Sicko Mode", he would be included on the list with 4 for 2018 ("God's Plan", "Nice for What", and "In My Feelings")
