A small fraction of all No. 1 hits have managed to rule the Billboard Hot 100 for double-digit weeks.
Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" holds the all-time record with 19 weeks atop the chart.

The Billboard Hot 100 is widely considered to be the definitive all-genre singles chart in the US.

Since it was launched in 1958, well over 1,000 songs have reached the coveted No. 1 spot, but far fewer have reigned long enough to reach double-digit weeks — or, even more impressively, surpass that milestone.

According to Billboard, only 4% of all No. 1 hits have topped the Hot 100 for 10 weeks or more. All 45 songs that have achieved the feat are listed below, in chronological order.
