Since “Poor Little Fool” by Ricky Nelson was introduced to Billboard fans as the first number-one song on August 4, 1958, the Billboard Hot 100 has seen 1,185 different number-one entries as of the week ending November 23, 2024. Today, it remains the leading singles chart across all music genres. This chart is updated weekly and ranks songs based on their performance in terms of sales (both physical and digital), online streaming, and radio play in the United States.

To keep up with current popular songs, you can turn to the Billboard Hot 100. For the complete list of the latest Billboard Hot 100 chart, visit the Billboard Website (billboard.com/charts/hot-100). If you wish to listen to these top 100 songs, you can access the “Billboard Hot 100” playlist on Spotify.

Free Spotify users can stream these songs, but if you want to download the playlist for offline listening through the Spotify app, you will need a premium account. Not a Spotify premium user? Don’t worry, we’ll introduce a third-party software tool that bypasses DRM and enables you to convert the Billboard Hot 100 songs from Spotify to MP3 on your local computer, even with a free account.
