Chart-Topping #1 Hits of 2024

The year 2024 brought a wild mix of chart-toppers, reflecting everything from pop comebacks to viral newcomers. For example, Shaboozey’s Memphis bar-anthem “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” dominated for a record-tying 19 weeks atop the Hot 100, while classic holiday tunes reappeared (Brenda Lee’s Christmas song kicked off January, and Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” reclaimed #1 in December). In all, 21 artists hit #1 in 2024, with eight — including Sabrina Carpenter, Hozier, and Shaboozey — scoring their first chart-topper. Big names also had multiple hits: Ariana Grande, Post Malone, and Morgan Wallen each notched two #1’s (and Kendrick Lamar had three). The variety is striking – from country-pop crossovers to R&B and retro revival – showing that 2024’s #1 songs really had “a little something for everyone.” Below we list every weekly #1 and then look back at each one.

For example, Billboard’s official charts confirm that in the week of January 20, 2024 Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” was #1, and on March 30 Teddy Swims’s “Lose Control” held the top spot. Our full table (below) compiles the Billboard Hot 100 #1 song, artist, and issue date for each of the 52 weeks of 2024
