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.
