The Billboard Hot 100 was created by journalists in 1958 who wanted to track the popularity of music singles and albums, offering insight into consumer trends. The Hot 100 is a billboard chart that tracks the most popular singles each week, with a handful of songs achieving such massive popularity that they remain on the Billboard charts for weeks.
To determine the record-breaking No. 1 hits that ruled the Billboard Hot 100, 24/7 Tempo reviewed historical data on chart performance from the Billboard Hot 100. Songs were ranked by the total number of weeks they held the No. 1 spot on the Billboard charts. Chart data is current through June 8, 2024 and this post was recently updated May 27, 2025.
