The Billboard Hot 100 singles chart measures the top songs every week during the tracking week of Friday through Thursday based on their combination of sales, online streams (audio and video), and radio airplay. Scroll down for the list of every song that came out on top in 2024, updated weekly.
The Beatles have had the most No. 1 hits ever with 20 different chart-toppers. They're followed closely by Mariah Carey, who has led the tally with 19 songs; she also holds the record for the most cumulative weeks spent at the top spot. Carey's 1995 duet with Boyz II Men, "One Sweet Day," once held the record for the longest run on top with 16 weeks at No. 1. But that was eventually tied by "Despacito" by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee featuring Justin Bieber in 2017, and then finally bested by Lil Nas X, whose "Old Town Road" featuring Billy Ray Cyrus commanded the chart for 19 weeks in 2019. And in 2024 another country crossover track matched that with 19 weeks of its own: "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" by Shaboozey. But Carey may take back her record at the end of 2025. Her holiday staple "All I Want for Christmas Is You" accumulated 18 weeks at No. 1 going into the new year.

However, the song named by Billboard as the No. 1 of all time was The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights," which spent only four weeks leading the way but shattered the record for the most weeks in the top 10 with more than a year in the upper reaches of the chart.

Kendrick Lamar feat. SZA, "Luther"
10 weeks at No. 1
March 1 - May 3
Lamar and SZA have held the top slot for 10 consecutive weeks. He replaced himself in the No. 1 spot, knocking his diss track "Not Like Us" to No. 2 for the tracking week that ended Feb. 20. It's the sixth chart-topper of his career and SZA's third. His nemesis Drake released a new album in the same week, $ome $exy $ongs 4 U, resulting in two top-10 debuts: "Gimme a Hug" at No. 6 and "Nokia" at No. 10. But he wasn't able to challenge Lamar for the top spots.
Kendrick Lamar, "Not Like Us"
One week at No. 1 in 2025 (three weeks total)
Feb. 22
Kendrick Lamar is coming off a blazing two weeks. On Feb. 2 he won five Grammys for his Drake-demolishing diss track "Not Like Us," including Record of the Year and Song of the Year. Then on Feb. 9 he headlined the Super Bowl halftime show, where he performed the song again, with a vengeance. All that success and publicity shot the song up 14 spots back to No. 1. He actually had the top three songs in the country for the week dated Feb. 22.
Travis Scott, "4x4"
One week at No. 1
Feb. 8
Travis Scott released his latest single on Jan. 24, and it debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100, making it the fifth chart-topping single of his career, following "Franchise" featuring Young Thug and M.I.A., "The Scotts" with Kid Cudi," "Highest in the Room," and "Sicko Mode." They all spent one week on top. Proceeds from "4x4" go to benefit Direct Relief's California Wildfire Response Fund.
Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars, "Die With a Smile"
Five weeks at No. 1
Jan. 11 - Feb. 1; Feb. 15
This is the sixth No. 1 song of Lady Gaga's career and the ninth of Bruno Mars'. It surged to the top spot from No. 17 thanks to the Christmas singles dropping off the chart after the holiday season. The song was released in August and previously spent four weeks stuck at No. 2 behind Shaboozey's record-tying "A Bar Song (Tipsy)." Overall it took "Die With a Smile" 20 weeks to reach the pinnacle. It won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the Grammys, where it was also nominated for Song of the Year.
Mariah Carey, "All I Want for Christmas Is You"
One week at No. 1 in 2025 (18 weeks total)
Jan. 4
Carey has returned to the top spot for six straight holiday seasons. This time around "All I Want for Christmas" spent four straight weeks at No. 1, bringing its total to 18 weeks at atop the list. That places it third on the list of the longest-running chart-toppers in Hot 100 history, behind Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus's "Old Town Road" and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)," both of which spent 19 weeks at the head of the pack.

Quack, pray, love: Willie and Korie Robertson are carrying on the 'Duck Dynasty' legacy after patriarch Phil's death
The Robertsons infamous motto "faith, family and ducks" has been put to the test during this season of life. Faith, family and ducks: This simple motto turned the Robertsons into household names and reality television stars on the A&E series Duck Dynasty. But in this season of their lives, those priorities are being tested like never before. When Phil Robertson, the beloved patriarch and spiritual cornerstone of the family, died at age 79 in May after being diagnosed with Alzheimer's late last year, it marked a profound moment of loss for the tight-knit Louisiana clan. Phil's death came just days before the premiere of A&E's Duck Dynasty: The Revival, which brought Willie, who is Phil's son, and his wife, Korie, back to television after an eight-year hiatus. The family loss didn't cast a shadow over their return, but instead, became a way for them to honor a legacy, hold each other close and find new strength in old roots. "It's good and bad. There's sadness, of course, but also so much joy in what he accomplished," Willie tells Yahoo about his father. "Without [his] faith, our family would've fallen apart." One thing's clear: While the dinner table may look different and the spotlight may come and go, the Robertsons remain grounded in what matters most. Their foundation is as strong as ever. Branching out The Robertson family skyrocketed to fame thanks to the hit reality series Duck Dynasty, which premiered in 2012 and ran for 11 seasons. It centered on Phil and his wife, Kay Robertson — affectionately known as Miss Kay — alongside their four bearded sons and extended family, as they built a duck call empire. The 2025 reboot, which premiered on June 1, shifts its focus to Willie and Korie's branch of the family tree, including their six adult children and a growing number of grandchildren — at least eight so far, with more on the way. Willie and Korie are parents to Rebecca, 36; John Luke, 29; Sadie, 28; Will Jr., 23; Bella, 22; and Rowdy, 22. "[Sadie] may have had the baby while we were talking," Willie jokes on our Zoom call. "Someone might've gotten pregnant while we were talking!" With the season finale on Aug. 3, Willie and Korie are taking stock of how far they've come and how much life has changed behind the scenes. "It's been really fun getting to do this as a family," Korie tells Yahoo about making the new series. "We're so grateful to get to do it with our grandkids. ... They're kind of the stars — in our minds, at least." Willie agrees, though he admits he's ready for a break from the cameras. "TV's hard. It's a long journey, and we've been doing this for a while," he adds. Willie says he was worried for his youngest children and his daughters and son-in-laws, who were not used to being on camera. 'It's tough to [film] all that, especially for those with young families, putting this much time into it,' Willie continues. 'It's a lot of time and effort." Still, returning to reality TV has had its rewards — from watching the next generation grow together to sharing big milestones, like Sadie and her husband Christian's gender reveal for baby No. 3 in the finale. And, of course, celebrating life the Robertson way: big and joyful. Returning to television as grandparents, not just parents, also gave the couple a different perspective. "We were a lot younger back then," Willie says about filming the original Duck Dynasty. "You're older now, and your kids are adults. Back then, we were teaching them everything. Now we're watching their personalities come out and how they handle work — it's really interesting." Phil and Miss Kay are still very much part of the revival's heartbeat. "One special moment [with Phil] was in the first episode, where we had the last clip of Dad giving us a thumbs-up. At that point, he was already deep in Alzheimer's," Willie says. Phil's impact stretched far beyond the bayou. "The man lived at the end of a dirt road, never used a cellphone, never touched a computer and still impacted millions," Willie says. "There's a video of him saying, 'Don't cry at my funeral. I know where I'm going.' So there was a sense of pride. His funeral wasn't doom and gloom — it was a celebration." "It really was a celebration of life," Korie says. "Reading the comments [online] afterward [about Phil], it was inspiring. Behind the scenes, it's been beautiful to see the family come together. All the brothers supported one another, taking care of Phil and Miss Kay. It's exactly what the Bible means by honoring your father and mother. They've done that well." They confirmed Season 2 will feature an episode reflecting on Phil's legacy. As for Miss Kay, Willie says they're taking it day by day amid her ongoing health challenges. "Her health is up and down, but she's amazing — she keeps bouncing back. I think a lot of what she's going through is tied to grief and depression from losing Phil. ... But somehow, she keeps coming back — funny and feisty as ever." Faith first As the family rallies around Miss Kay, they continue to lean on the one thing that has always grounded them. Faith remains at the center of the Robertson household and of the revival. "That's a big part of why we're still in entertainment," Korie says. "The first time around, we saw the impact — people telling us how meaningful it was to see a family of faith on TV.' Korie says she believes entertainment fundamentally shapes our culture. 'That's why we do the podcast, write the books [and] came back to television. Our prayer is always to be a light in the world,' she says. Willie jumps in: "And to show that you can have faith and still be normal. You don't have to be a preacher. We're not trying to convert everyone. We just live our lives and show it through how we love each other." The couple's own relationship — they've been married for 33 years — has been tested plenty over the decades. In this season of loss and joy, they've leaned on each other more than ever. "Korie's a good partner," Willie says. "You have to work at a partnership and put time into it. Especially when life gets busy, like ours.' Willie says their family motto — faith, family and ducks — has meant more now than ever. 'We've seen it in our own families. When the marriage starts breaking down, it affects everything,' he says. 'That's why we say faith, family and then work — in that order. If your relationship with God isn't right, it'll show up in your marriage. If your family's struggling, that'll show up at work." Korie says that at the start of each year, she likes to pick a theme to represent the 365 days ahead. She didn't anticipate her choice for this year's word would hit so close to home. "My word for this year was unity. That's been my prayer — for our family to stay unified, and for Willie and me to stay unified too,' she says. That, in the end, might be the heart of the revival — not just of a show, but of a family choosing to show up for one another. In joy and in grief, with love, laughter and duck calls, the Robertsons are still doing what they've always done best: sticking together.

Everything We Know About Metro Boomin's Upcoming Mixtape ‘A Futuristic Summa'
Metro Boomin's A Futuristic Summa is finally set to arrive this week. Dropping one year after the super-producer's insane 2024 run with Future, A Futuristic Summa is looking to keep the party going with dozens of features and summertime-friendly bangers. More from Billboard Listen to Ghostface Killah Channel Eric B & Rakim in New Single 'Rap Kingpin' Quavo's Rocket Foundation Launches Trauma Therapy Fund in Response to Atlanta Shootings Doechii Teases She's 'Bringing a Guest' to Her Lollapalooza Set If history is any indication, Young Metro is about to cause quite a stir with this new record. Metro's previous two efforts, We Don't Trust You and We Still Don't Trust You, not only both debuted atop the Billboard 200, but the former snagged a Grammy nomination for best rap album, while the latter also scored a Grammy nomination for best melodic rap performance for its title track. Not to mention, the Billboard Hot 100-topping 'Like That' with Kendrick Lamar kickstarted last year's monstrous rap beef between K-Dot and Drake (and was also Grammy nominated for best rap song and best rap performance). While not much is confirmed in regards to what we can expect on Metro's new LP, the producer has sprinkled tons of breadcrumbs along the way on Instagram and elsewhere to help fans figure out what they can expect. The album was technically supposed to drop last Tuesday (July 22), but was delayed at the last minute for unknown reasons: 'Patience is a virtue' was all Metro said in regards to the delay. So as everyone patiently waits with bated breath for Friday, here's everything there is to know about A Futuristic Summa so far, including confirmed features, track list and more. The Mixtape Will Be Hosted By DJ Spinz When Metro announced the mixtape earlier this month, one of the first confirmed details to emerge was that the listening experience would be hosted by DJ Spinz. Spinz is a well known Atlanta DJ-turned-record producer who created some of the biggest hits to ever come out of the ATL; 'F—k Up Some Commas' by Future, 'Flex (Ooh, Ooh, Ooh)' by the late Rich Homie Quan and 'Blasé' by Ty Dolla $ign are just a few examples. The announcement was celebrated in the IG comments by people very familiar with Spinz' legacy in Atlanta, including Big Sean and Zaytoven. A Futuristic Summa Will Have 23 Tracks and 21 Features When A Futuristic Summa arrives on Friday, it will come stacked with 23 tracks and 21 features. When fans go to pre-save the album on Metro's MySpace-themed website, it lists out the track numbers and features. So far, the confirmed features on A Futuristic Summa include Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, Waka Flocka Flame, Roscoe Dash, T.I., BunnaB, Rocko, YK Niece, Meany (Of Shop Boyz), Rich Kidz, Travis Porter, Young Dro, Quavo, J Money and, of course, Future. There are still more features to announced, but with a tracklist this stacked, it's looking to be an ATL family reunion. The First Single Features Roscoe Dash While it's not yet available on streaming, fans who tuned into Metro's website were able to listen to a snippet of the album's first single: 'Slide' with Roscoe Dash. The melodic cut is given a less than two-minute preview on Metro's website, but was then released in full on YouTube on July 4. The track is a good appetizer for what fans can expect from the record — a nostalgic spin of early-2000s energy. The Cover Art Pays Tribute to Young Scooter and Takeoff A Futuristic Summa's colorful cover art has a lot going on, but also gives multiple hints showing this tape will fully be dedicated to the ATL: Two kids seen running through the streets with squirt guns on the cover are wearing T-shirts that read: 'RIP Scooter' and 'RIP Takeoff.' Metro worked extensively with both rappers before their respective passings. Metro Teased a New Track Snippet With Waka Flocka Flame and Quavo On Sunday (July 27), Metro showcased a studio session with Jose Guapo. Alongside Waka Flocka Flame, they played through a new track, reportedly titled 'Atlanta Bow Bow,' which also features Quavo and the 'O Let's Do It' rapper. The artists are seen getting incredibly rowdy when Flocka's verse comes on, adding to the speculation that this is gonna be an album catered to an outside vibe. It Was Likely Delayed Because of Future When Metro announced last week that he'd be delaying A Futuristic Summa, he did so by linking to a video that included a voicemail from Future. '3 times where you at?' Pluto says. 'I'm pullin' up to the lab right now. I gotta drop a verse on this Futuristic Summa s—t.' If the end result is like anything that came out back in 2024, it'll be well worth the delay.
