Artists with the most number-ones on the Billboard Hot 100 chart

The U.S. Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing songs of the United States. Published by Billboard magazine, the data are compiled by Nielsen SoundScan based collectively on each single's weekly physical and digital sales, airplay, and streaming. A new chart is compiled and officially released to the public every Tuesday in Billboard magazine and on its website. Each chart is dated with the "week-ending" date of the Saturday four days later.

This is a list of artists with the most number-ones on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. American singer Elvis Presley is notably absent from the list since ten of his seventeen number-ones charted before the launch of the Hot 100 in 1958.[1] British band the Beatles currently holds the record for the most number-ones in the chart's history, with twenty. American singer-songwriter Mariah Carey holds the record for a solo artist with the most number-ones, with nineteen, ranking second overall. Canadian rapper Drake holds the record for a male solo artist with the most number-ones, with fourteen.
