A perennial holiday tune, a massive track from a former TikToker, a country-pop pairing, a movie soundtrack favorite and a harsh rebuke to immature men are among the 10 songs from 15 artists that topped the Billboard Hot 100 in 2025 so far. (Compare that to 18 different No. 1s in 2024 and 19 in 2023.)

Half of these hits charted for multiple weeks. Kendrick Lamar and SZA’s collab “Luther” – from the rapper’s 2024 full-length GNX – spent the longest time at the top with 13 weeks. Lamar’s “Not Like Us” also vaulted back into that spot following his Super Bowl halftime show. Alex Warren’s viral “Ordinary,” off of his 2025 debut LP You’ll Be Alright, Kid, earned 10 weeks as a Hot 100 leader, while KPop Demon Hunter’s “Golden” – performed by EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, and REI AMI as the fictional HUNTR/X – led for eight. Taylor Swift’s 12th lead single “The Fate of Ophelia” continues its life at No. 1 with six weeks and counting. Finally, Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars’ duet “Die With a Smile” – which premiered in August of 2024 – reached No. 1 in 2025 and stayed there for five non-consecutive weeks.

Nine of the artists added to their tallies of songs that went No. 1. “Ophelia” is Swift’s 13th; “Die With a Smile” is Mars’ ninth and Gaga’s sixth; “Luther” is Lamar’s sixth and SZA’s third; “4X4” is Travis Scott’s fifth; “What I Want” is Morgan Wallen’s fourth; and “Manchild” is Sabrina Carpenter’s second. Warren, Tate McRae – Wallen’s partner on “What I Want” – and the Demon Hunters team each earned their first. (Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” which became her 19th Hot 100 topper in 2019, has spent a total of 18 weeks at No. 1 over the years so far.)
