Only 47 songs have stayed at No. 1 on the chart for 10 weeks or more — here they all are

• A small fraction of all No. 1 hits have ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks or more.
• Mariah Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" holds the record for most weeks atop the chart.
• Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" are tied for second place.

The Billboard Hot 100 is widely regarded as the definitive all-genre singles chart in the US.

Since the chart launched in 1958, over 1,000 songs have reached the coveted No. 1 spot. However, far fewer have remained there for double-digit weeks.

Mariah Carey's 1994 smash "All I Want for Christmas Is You," which has cyclically returned to No. 1 each holiday season since 2019, recently notched its 20th week atop the chart — breaking a tie with Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" and Shaboozey's "A Bar Song (Tipsy)" for the longest domination in history.

Keep reading for a roundup of all 47 songs that have ruled the chart for at least 10 weeks, listed in the order they reached that milestone.
