Note: Whitney Houston's "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" is the only song to spend more than 10 weeks at number two, having spent 11 weeks at that position (its sole week at number one prevents it from being eligible for this section).

Only 9 artists in history have more than one song that debuted at number one. Ariana Grande leads with five songs. Mariah Carey, Drake, Justin Bieber, Travis Scott and Taylor Swift have debuted with three songs, while Britney Spears, Lady Gaga and BTS have debuted with two songs.[25]

Changes in when the eligibility of a single first begins, as well as more accurate digital download totals, have made abrupt chart jumps more commonplace. From 1955 to 2001, under Billboard's previous methodologies, only two singles ascended directly to No. 1 from a previous position beneath the Top 20: The Beatles' "Can't Buy Me Love", which jumped from No. 27 to the top slot in April 1964, and Brandy and Monica's "The Boy Is Mine" which jumped from No. 23 to No. 1 in June 1998.

• 100–2 (98 positions) – Taylor Swift featuring Brendon Urie – "Me!" (May 11, 2019)[36]
• 97–1 (96 positions) – Kelly Clarkson – "My Life Would Suck Without You" (February 7, 2009)[37]

• 100–15 (85 positions) – A. R. Rahman and Pussycat Dolls featuring Nicole Scherzinger – "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)" (March 14, 2009)[45]

Under Billboard's previous methodologies, jumps of this magnitude were rare. One exception was Jeannie C. Riley's "Harper Valley PTA," which advanced 74 slots in August 1968;[46] this upward acceleration went unmatched for 30 years, but has been surpassed over a dozen times since 2006. Changes in when the eligibility of a single first begins, as well as more accurate digital download totals, have made abrupt chart jumps more commonplace.

†† – "Purple Rain" and "When Doves Cry" reappeared on the Hot 100 for two weeks in 2016, and the above reflects their re-entries only. When the songs originally charted in 1984, their chart positions in their final week on the Hot 100 were well below the top 10.

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. 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.

During the holiday season, which includes Christmas, these songs regularly appear on the Hot 100, generally departing from the chart after the holiday season ends. In recent years, seasonal songs 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 the chart regardless of their final chart positions during the season.

† 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"), Mariah Carey's "We Belong Together" (fourteen weeks at No. 1, compared to sixteen for her duet with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day") and Michael Jackson's duet with Paul McCartney, "Say Say Say" (six weeks at No. 1, compared to seven for both his solo singles "Billie Jean" and "Black or White").

‡ 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.[87] "Don't Be Cruel"/"Hound Dog" spent 11 weeks at No. 1, "Hound Dog" for 6 weeks, "Don't Be Cruel" for 5 weeks. Many chart statisticians however, such as Joel Whitburn, still list Presley as having 18 number ones.

Source:[88][89] [90][91]

† 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.[87] 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 Fergie, if Black Eyed Peas is included, this would put Fergie on the list with 34 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 60 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 put Drake on the list with 51 weeks at No. 1.

• Houston's "Thinking About You" is not counted as interrupting the streak, as it never appeared on the Hot 100, due to not being released to Pop radio. Likewise, Perry's "Not Like the Movies" and "Circle the Drain" were only promotional singles, not radio singles.
• 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.

• Saturday Night Fever generated number-one singles for two different artists: "How Deep Is Your Love", "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever" by the Bee Gees; and "If I Can't Have You" by Yvonne Elliman. A Fifth Of Beethoven by Walter Murphy, You Should Be Dancing and Jive Talkin' by the Bee Gees all reached No. 1 but are from earlier albums, so these aren't generated from "Saturday Night Fever".
• Katy Perry's Teenage Dream: The Complete Confection was a reissue of the Teenage Dream album, and featured an additional single, "Part Of Me", which peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot 100. This brings her actual total to six. However, this does not count since the single comes from a reissue of the album and not the original release.[185]
