Artists With the Most No. 1 Songs on the Hot 100, From The Beatles to Rihanna & More

More than 30,000 songs have graced the Billboard Hot 100 in the chart’s 67-year history. Of those, 1,184 have reached No. 1 (as of the chart dated Oct. 18, 2025) — or less than 4%.

One of the rarest feats is not just repeating at No. 1, but reaching No. 1 at least 10 times. Only 11 artists have earned the distinction. The elite list features nine solo artists and two groups. The Beatles lead all acts, with a whopping 20 Hot 100 No. 1s — the band has had the most since 1965, when it surpassed Elvis Presley.

Presley, who’s notably absent from the list below, scored seven No. 1s in the Hot 100 era. The start of Presley’s career predated the Hot 100, which launched on Aug. 4, 1958, meaning that some of his classics, such as “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Hound Dog” and “Jailhouse Rock,” preceded the chart’s existence. He did, however, reach the summit with “A Big Hunk O’ Love,” “Stuck on You,” “It’s Now or Never,” “Are You Lonesome Tonight,” “Surrender,” “Good Luck Charm” and “Suspicious Minds.”

As for the artists just outside the 10 No. 1 hits club: Bee Gees, Beyoncé, Elton John, Bruno Mars, Paul McCartney (solo and with Wings), Katy Perry and Usher have all topped the Hot 100 nine times, while Justin Bieber, Ariana Grande, George Michael (excluding two billed solely to Wham!) and The Rolling Stones have eight each.

Here are the 11 artists who have tallied 10 or more No. 1 hits on the Hot 100:
