The Longest-Reigning No. 1 Hits on the Hot 100
By Melissa Bauernfeind,
2024-08-29Music is a powerful medium. It can transport us back in time, connect us to different places, calm us down, bring us joy and comfort, motivate us, and much more. There are more than 1,000 genres and sub-genres to please everyone ranging from rock, rap, and pop, to classical, jazz, and soul. We all have our favorite artists. Those musicians who we listen to constantly, and buy every album. Many of their songs are without a doubt chart-topping hits but only some have the longest-reigning No. 1 hits on the Hot 100.
The method for listening to your favorite tunes has changed over the years – record player, boom box, cassette tape, CD player, MP3, iPod, streaming services like Spotify or Pandora, and back to record players. Today, you can also indulge your favorites via Bluetooth headphones directly from your curated playlists on any one of the many available platforms for playing music.
To determine the longest-reigning No. 1 hits on the Hot 100, 24/7 Tempo reviewed historical data on chart performance from the Billboard Hot 100 . Songs were ranked based on the total number of weeks for which they were at the No. 1 position on the Hot 100 charts. Chart data is current through June 8, 2024.
