As we take a trip down memory lane to revisit the past, it’s fascinating to explore the longest-leading Billboard Hot 100 No. 1s. From iconic artists like Debby Boone and Billy Joel, this list is filled with memories that shaped the music industry.
Debby Boone holds the distinction of having the longest leading Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 single, with her song “You Light Up My Life” reigning supreme for a whopping 10 weeks in October-December 1977. This song from the soundtrack of the film “You Light Up My Life” became an instant hit and stayed at number one for an impressive period.
However, it’s worth noting that Boone’s record was later broken by Mariah Carey’s “One Sweet Moment”, which held the top spot for 11 weeks in September-October 1995.
