List of Billboard Hot 100 chart achievements and milestones

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.

Artists are ranked based on a formula blending performance, as outlined above, of all their Hot 100 chart entries.

During November and December beginning in the 2010s, these songs have regularly appeared on the Hot 100, generally departing from the chart once the holiday season ends in early January.

†† – "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.

[124] Prior to 2008, the biggest drop off the Hot 100 was "Nights in White Satin" by The Moody Blues, which ranked at No.

This high drop-off position was matched in January 1975 by "Junior's Farm" by Paul McCartney and Wings.

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.

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.

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") Sources:[171][183][184][185] Source:[186] † – All but one of Mariah Carey's top 10 singles also reached the top 5, the exception being "Obsessed", which peaked at No.
