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.
