Hello Charts Lover, We compiled the Top Songs of 2024, capturing every weekly chart-topper across the 52 chart weeks of the year. For each issue week, we list the song that reached No. 1 on the primary national singles chart in the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S. This yearbook-style summary lets readers see, at a glance, which records dominated any given week and how long each hit stayed on top. Wherever a No. 1 run spans multiple weeks, the same title appears on consecutive issue dates so the chronology remains faithful to the official chart history.
This is how 2024’s Hot 100 played out in a week-by-week account as our number ones went by and framed an unpredictable year.
The calendar flipped in a holiday afterglow. Brenda Lee’s Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree held for a final week, a final wink of recognition from a standard that keeps coming afresh to ears every winter, on January’s first chart. The glow burned fast and out, and back into prominence stepped Jack Harlow.
Lovin On Me was back at the top on January 13 and January 20, confirmation that its hook really had a lot of staying power after a big finish at year’s end. Ariana Grande bounced back on January 27 with Yes, And, a smooth intro that went in straight, then Harlow reclaimed the crown on February 3.
The month snapped a third time when Megan Thee Stallion rocketed to number one with Hiss on February 10, encouraged along by a strong performance and a flash of talk. Harlow rebounded twice again on February 17 and February 24. His streak framed the year’s opening act.
The month of March arrived in a flash. Beyoncé’s Texas Hold Em topped the charts on March 2 and March 9, a humorous and rootsy detour that took streams, airwaves, and chat in equal measure.
Then, there was a flash of chaos from Kanye West and Ty Dolla Sign, featuring Rich the Kid and Playboi Carti, on March 16, a manic one week flash that held the timeline hostage and then took a back seat.
Ariana Grande was back a week later, remaining cool and confessional, when she released We Can’t Be Friends on March 23, ahead of a year’s most gratifying climactic moment coming when Teddy Swims led a chart-topper with Lose Control when it reached its peak on March 30.
That record had slowly climbed for months. When it, finally, reached its apex, it felt as though patient burn-in everyone could root for.
April was rhythm and pace’s month. Like That by Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar topped the table for three weeks straight to April 20, a rumbling collaboration that sounded huge in cars and in clubs and in between. Hozier then sweetly swooped in with Too Sweet on April 27, its initial Hot 100 US chart-topper, on a hummable melody and a relentless streaming spike.
May was a heavyweight month. Taylor Swift and Post Malone debuted at number one with Fortnight on May 4 and held again on May 11.
The collaboration felt organic, a smooth melding of Taylor’s diary writing and Post’s easy drawl. Kendrick Lamar returned May 18 with Not Like Us, a gritty record that was a moment-instantaneous cultural phenomenon.
Then back a week later was Post Malone along with Morgan Wallen and I Had Some Help May 25, and the song settled in for a large residency.
Summer started early to the beat of that duet. I Had Some Help held at number one June 1, June 8, June 15, and June 22. The recording was a bonfire anthem and a bulldozer on the radio, both at once.
The streak was finally brought to an end only June 29 when Sabrina Carpenter claimed her first number one in Please Please Please, a feisty pop earworm winked at. The relief was fleeting. Post and Morgan held yet another week July 6 and then power balance was shifted in favor of a different entity.
Shaboozey took over. A Bar Song, easy singalong and genuine smile, reached number one July 13. Kendrick Lamar briefly reclaimed the throne July 20 as Not Like Us shot back for a victory lap. Then Shaboozey relaxed July 27 and began the most dominant streak of the year.
Through August, through September, the song held strong. It took over long car rides, backyard speakers, and chant anthems at festivals. By October when it rolled in, the track was a communal laugh in friend groups that never wore out. Every Saturday the charted another week for Shaboozey. Thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, then sixteen after a swift blip.
That was Morgan Wallen’s Love Somebody back on Nov. 2, a one-week spike that illustrated how dominant country flavors were in the mainstream during the year. Shaboozey grabbed the baton as soon as possible, on Nov. 9, and held it through Nov. 30. Nineteen weeks in total at number-one, stretching over summer and fall, was the saga. The summer BBQs, late nights, and every small victory that craved a toast anthem.
December created a hard switch. The week of December 7 took Kendrick Lamar’s Squabble Up to number one, a cold shot of clarity and definition.
Then the season took back its throne. Mariah Carey’s All IWant forChristmas Is You took December 14, December 21, and December 28. There’s a warmth to that final streak year after year. The song is tradition and trend in one, and it resets the space before next loop begins.
In retrospect, it was a year that unfolded in relay. The early rhythm was provided by Jack Harlow. Beyoncé and Ariana Grande delivered spring sparks from sides, a mischievous, twangy one and a smooth, close-in one. Future, Metro Boomin, and Kendrick Lamar dominated April in a record that rattled walls.
The payoffs, naturally, came for a well-deserved moment at the pinnacle for Hozier and Teddy Swims, of the patience is king variety. Taylor Swift and Post Malone sparked May. The Not Like Us blow from Kendrick Lamar arrived in the form of a sports event. Post Malone and Morgan Wallen then defined early summer in a hook built for stadiums and tailgates.
From late July through November, Shaboozey’s run solidified into a phenomenon. The song worked because it was loose and inclusive. It did not overreach. It embraced everyone in.
Even Morgan Wallen’s temporary-November digression could not derail it from its rhythm for very long. With winter’s onset, Kendrick provided another modern jolt and Mariah closure in the most reliable holiday anthem in modern pop.
Lines between genres remained blurred. Country sounds, from pop-infused Sabrina Carpenter to radio-dominant Morgan Wallen to barroom-boogie Shaboozey, coexisted next to rap heat and glossy pop. Collabs framed a great deal of biggest moments.
Nostalgia remained powerful in January and December, though most throughout the year was fresh, and fresh voices got legitimate space. That is 2024’s week-by-week beat. Start with a retro-lit tree.
Pass the mic to Harlow, Ariana, Megan, Beyoncé, Ye and Ty Dolla Sign, Teddy Swims, Future and Metro and Kendrick, Hozier, Taylor and Post, Kendrick again, Post and Morgan, Sabrina, and then Shaboozey’s epic toast. Tip your hat to Morgan for another quick jolt, nod once again to Kendrick, and finish up with Mariah as it’s snowing. Fifty two weeks, a stack of number ones, and a year that never slowed down.
What each column means
- Week (Issue Date): The chart’s published issue date for that week (typically reflecting tracking from the prior Friday–Thursday or equivalent).
- Song Title: The exact title as it appears on the official chart.
- Artist Name: Credited performing artist(s). If a remix or featured act is specifically credited on the chart for that week, it appears here.
- Label: The commercial label/imprint credited by the chart compiler.
- Peak: The highest position the song reached on the main singles chart (for titles listed here, that’s usually No. 1, but we retain the field for completeness and comparability with other lists).
- Total Weeks (on Chart): The cumulative number of weeks the song has appeared anywhere on the main singles chart, not just at No. 1.
- Weeks at No. 1: The number of weeks the song has spent at the top during 2025. If a No. 1 streak began in late 2024 or continued into early 2026, only the weeks that fall within 2025 are counted here, unless you note otherwise.
Method notes
- We list every weekly No. 1, so a multi-week leader will repeat across consecutive issue dates.
- Where labels use multiple imprints (e.g., major + imprint), we present the primary pairing as printed on the chart source.
- Issue dates are kept in chronological order from early January to late December, covering all 52 weekly issues in 2025.
