18 songs have reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart this year — here they all are

It took 65 years for Brenda Lee's holiday classic to climb the Hot 100, finally reaching No. 1 in December 2023.

As the holiday season came to a close, "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" remained atop the chart for the first week of the new year.

"Lovin On Me" originally topped the Hot 100 for one week at the end of 2023, but proved to have staying power when it returned to No. 1 after the holiday surge.

This year, the song collected five more nonconsecutive weeks at the summit, becoming Jack Harlow's biggest hit to date.

"Yes, And?" was released as the lead single from Ariana Grande's latest album "Eternal Sunshine." It debuted at No. 1 in January.

"Hiss" was released as the second single from Megan Thee Stallion's third album "Megan." It debuted at No. 1 in February.

Beyoncé surprise-released a pair of singles, "Texas Hold 'Em" and "16 Carriages," during the 2024 Super Bowl.

The former debuted at No. 2 on the Hot 100, then rose to No. 1 after its first full week of tracking. (Billboard tracks sales and streams from Friday to Thursday.) The song remained atop the chart for a second consecutive week.

"Texas Hold 'Em" also reached No. 1 on Billboard's Hot Country Songs chart, becoming the first song by a Black artist to hold both positions.

"Carnival" was released as a single from "Vultures 1," the first collaborative album by Ye (formerly known as Kanye West) and Ty Dolla $ign. It rose from No. 2 to No. 1 for one week in March.

"We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love)" was released as the second single from "Eternal Sunshine." It debuted at No. 1 in March, becoming Grande's seventh song to arrive in the chart's top position.

Grande is tied with Taylor Swift for the most No. 1 song debuts among women and the second-most ever, trailing only Drake.

"Lose Control" was originally released in June 2023 and debuted at No. 99 on the Hot 100.

The soul-rock ballad gradually gained traction and broke into the top five by the end of January.

In late March, Teddy Swims released two new versions of the song: a Tiësto remix and a radio edit. That boosted streaming numbers, which helped "Lose Control" finally reach No. 1 after a 32-week climb.

It was eventually crowned as Billboard's top-performing hit of 2024, while Taylor Swift was named the year's top Hot 100 artist.

"Like That" was released as a single from "We Don't Trust You," a collaborative album by Future and Metro Boomin. It debuted at No. 1 and remained atop the chart for two more consecutive weeks.

It also ignited an explosive rap feud between Kendrick Lamar, who's featured on the hit song, and Drake, whom Lamar alludes to in the lyrics.

"Too Sweet" was released as the first track and only single from Hozier's EP "Unheard," a small collection of songs that had been scrapped from his previous album.

"Too Sweet" debuted at No. 5 in April and topped the chart later that month, becoming the Irish rocker's first No. 1 song on the Hot 100. (Hozier's breakout hit, 2013's "Take Me to Church," peaked at No. 2.)

"Fortnight" was released as the opening track on Taylor Swift's 11th studio album, "The Tortured Poets Department," and promoted as the lead single.

When the song debuted at No. 1, it was accompanied by every other track from the album — 31 in total, plus "Cruel Summer," a straggler hit from 2019 — setting a record among women for the most songs charting on the Hot 100 simultaneously.

Swift's songs also occupied the entire top 10 of the Hot 100. (She is the only artist ever to achieve that feat, and she's now done it twice.)

"Fortnight" remained atop the Hot 100 for a second consecutive week.

"Not Like Us," a scathing diss track aimed at Drake, was released as a standalone single in May. It debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, giving Lamar a clear leg-up in their battle.

After the music video premiere in July, "Not Like Us" returned to No. 1 for a second nonconsecutive week.

"I Had Some Help" was released as the lead single from Post Malone's sixth studio album, "F-1 Trillion."

The song debuted at No. 1 in May and remained atop the chart for five consecutive weeks. After a brief interruption by Sabrina Carpenter, it returned for one more week.

"Please Please Please" was released as the second single from Sabrina Carpenter's sixth studio album, "Short n' Sweet." It debuted at No. 2 in June but quickly rose to the top spot, becoming Carpenter's first No. 1 song.

While massively popular, the song's predecessor, "Espresso," never managed to rise past No. 3 on the Hot 100. It did, however, reign atop the Billboard Global 200 for three weeks (a worldwide tally, as opposed to the Hot 100's US-focused formula) and was certified 3x platinum by the RIAA as of September 6, 2024.

Both songs were joined by another of Carpenter's singles, "Taste," in the top 10 of the Hot 100 for eight weeks this year — the longest streak for three simultaneous top-10 hits in history among female artists.

"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" was released as a single from Shaboozey's third studio album, "Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going."

It became a country-pop crossover smash, topping both Hot Country Songs and the Hot 100 in July — the second song in history by a Black artist to do so, following Beyoncé with "Texas Hold 'Em."

"A Bar Song (Tipsy)" has continued to dominate the Hot 100, accumulating 19 nonconsecutive weeks atop the chart. It's the longest-leading solo hit in Hot 100 history and tied with "Old Town Road" for the all-time record.

"Love Somebody" managed to briefly interrupt Shaboozey's reign when it was released in October, debuting atop the Hot 100 before falling to No. 8 in its second week.

"Squabble Up" was released as the second track on Kendrick Lamar's "GNX" and promoted as the album's lead single.

It debuted at No. 1 in the first week of December, accompanied by four other songs from "GNX" in the chart's top five.

Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" was originally released in 1994 and didn't reach No. 1 for 25 years.

The song finally topped the Hot 100 in 2019, and since then, it has returned to the peak position for multiple weeks every December.

In 2024, "All I Want for Christmas Is You" experienced another seasonal resurgence and spent two more weeks at No. 1, bringing the song's grand total to 16 weeks atop the chart.
