Shaboozey\u2019s \u201cA Bar Song (Tipsy)\u201d led the lists for 19 and 45 weeks, respectively, in 2024-25, following Morgan Wallen\u2019s \u201cLast Night\u201d (16 and 25 weeks in 2023). Debby Boone\u2019s \u201cYou Light Up My Life\u201d became the first song ever to dominate the Hot 100 for double-digit weeks (10) and hit No. 4 on Hot Country Songs in 1977.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(Honorable mention: Dolly Parton wrote \u201c I Will Always Love You,\u201d which Whitney Houston took to No. 1 on the Hot 100 for 14 weeks in 1992-93. Parton sent two versions of the beloved ballad to the top of Hot Country Songs, in 1974 and 1982.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Langley sets another mark on the latest Hot 100: \u201cBe Her\u201d holds at its No. 2 high, making her the first artist known for primarily recording country music ever to claim chart\u2019s the top two spots simultaneously for multiple weeks. Among all core-country acts, she passes Wallen, who doubled up for a week last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/nUsrYVxrDwI?si=31pCFyzOXWWGHoTs\" title=\"YouTube video player\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p>Among other highlights in the Hot 100\u2019s top 10, Bruno Mars hits a new career radio high with \u201cI Just Might\u201d and Olivia Dean becomes the first British woman ever to chart her first two top five hits in the region together \u2014 a feat that among all artists was first earned by The Beatles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on for details of the entire top 10 on this week\u2019s Hot 100.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Hot 100 blends all-genre U.S. streaming (official audio and official video), radio airplay and sales data, the lattermost metric reflecting purchases of physical singles and digital tracks from full-service digital music retailers; digital singles sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites are excluded from chart calculations.
