List of Billboard Hot 100 number ones of 2025

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best performing songs in the United States. Its data is compiled by Luminate Data and is published by the American music magazine Billboard. The chart is based on each song's weekly physical and digital sales collectively, the amount of airplay impressions it receives on American radio stations, and its audio and video streams on online digital music platforms.

Kendrick Lamar topped the Hot 100 for fourteen weeks with "Not Like Us" and the SZA collaboration "Luther", to become the artist with the most time atop the chart in 2025.

"Die with a Smile" (2024) by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars topped the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Chart of 2025 as the best-performing single of the year.[1] "Not Like Us" (2024) by Kendrick Lamar returned to the top spot for a third week in 2025, following his Super Bowl LIX halftime show on February 9, becoming the first non holiday song (second after Mariah Carey's 1994 "All I Want for Christmas Is You") to top the chart three separate times with breaks of two or more months in between each of its runs at the number one position.[2] The following week, Lamar became the 15th act to replace themself at number one, with the SZA duet "Luther" (2024).[3] With thirteen weeks atop the chart, it became the longest running number one single of the year, the 46th song to rank at number one for at least ten weeks,[4] and the longest running number one for both Lamar and SZA.[5] Huntrix, a virtual band from the 2025 film KPop Demon Hunters, became the first girl group since Destiny's Child in 2001 and the first South Korean female act to top the chart,[note 1] aided by "Golden" (2025).[6] Furthermore, the song became the fifth number-one in history credited to a fictional band.[7] In December, Carey's "All I Want for Christmas Is You" returned to number one, spending its twentieth week atop the chart and breaking the record for the longest-running number-one song since the chart's inception in 1958.[note 2][8]

Fifteen artists managed to reach the number one spot on the chart in 2025, with six―Tate McRae, Alex Warren, Huntrix, Ejae, Audrey Nuna and Rei Ami―reaching the top spot for the first time. Lamar is the only artist to chart two number one songs during the year.

The year was marked by little to no movement on the charts, with a huge number of songs lingering around or having been released the previous year, making 2025 one of the most stagnant years for popular music in Billboard chart history.[9][10] This resulted in Billboard enacting a new recurrent rule effective with the chart dated October 25, making songs that fall below the top 50 with at least 20 weeks; below the top 25 with at least 26 weeks; below the top 10 with at least 52 weeks; or below the top five after at least 78 weeks, go recurrent.[11]

Chart history

"Ordinary" by Alex Warren topped the Hot 100 for ten weeks, to become the longest-running number-one song by a solo artist in 2025.
Taylor Swift's thirteenth number-one single, "The Fate of Ophelia", was the longest running chart-topper of the year by a female artist, with eight weeks at number one in 2025, in addition to two more weeks in 2026.

Notes

  1. The other South Korean acts to top the chart were BTS, Jimin and Jung Kook, thus making "Golden" the first number-one song not performed by BTS or the band's solo member.
  2. Carey previously held the record for 25 years, with her 1995 Boyz II Men duet "One Sweet Day", before being surpassed by Lil Nas X's "Old Town Road" in 2019 – the same year "All I Want for Christmas Is You" reached number one for the first time.
