    • A small fraction of all No. 1 hits have ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for 10 weeks or more.
    • “Old Town Road” and “A Bar Song (Tipsy)” are tied for the all-time record with 19 weeks apiece.
    • Listen to the complete playlist on Business Insider’s Spotify.

    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 46 songs that have achieved the feat are listed below, in chronological order.

    1. “You Light Up My Life” by Debby Boone

    “You Light Up My Life” reached No. 1 on October 15, 1977.
