Hot 100 Airplay
"Don't Speak" by No Doubt, "Lovefool" by The Cardigans and "Basket Case" by Green Day all topped the Hot 100 Airplay chart and gained large amounts of airplay, but were not allowed to chart on the Hot 100, because no commercial single was issued, even though they would have probably been #1 hits

"Iris" by the Goo Goo Dolls topped the airplay charts for 18 weeks in 1998.
"We Belong Together" by Mariah Carey scored 223 million impressions ahead of Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl"
2002, Mariah Carey's lead single from her 12th album Charmbracelet, "Through The Rain", topped the Hot 100 Single Sales Chart,
Madonna set a record in 1992 when the lead single and title track from her sixth album Erotica debuted at #3 prior to the release of the single, Sex

Biggest gain to number one
editAnother notable record is the biggest gain to number one in Hot 100 history. This record has only changed hands twice since the Hot 100 implementation. Up until December 5, 1998, The Beatles held that record with "Can't Buy Me Love". The record was set on April 4, 1964, the exact same week when The Beatles had the entire top five of the Hot 100 occupied. In 2002, the record was broken by American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, who posted a massive 52-1 gain with her song "A Moment Like This" (this move being an example of a song charting first based solely on airplay, then making large chart advancement once a full week of sales points are factored in).
The biggest gains to number one in Hot 100 history:
- 52-1 - Kelly Clarkson — "A Moment Like This" October 5, 2002
- 27-1 - The Beatles — "Can't Buy Me Love" April 4, 1964
- 23-1 - Brandy and Monica — "The Boy Is Mine" June 6, 1998
- 21-1 - Usher — "U Remind Me" July 7, 2001
- 16-1 - Mariah Carey featuring Jay-Z — "Heartbraker" October 9, 1999
Michael Jackson's "You Are Not Alone" holds the record for being the first
The songs that have debuted at number one are, in order:
- Michael Jackson — "You Are Not Alone" (September 2, 1995)
- Mariah Carey — "Fantasy" (Sept 30, 1995)
- Whitney Houston — "Exhale (Shoop Shoop)" (Nov 25, 1995)
- Mariah Carey & Boyz II Men — "One Sweet Day" (Dec 2, 1995)
- P. Diddy & Faith Evans — "I'll Be Missing You" (June 14, 1997)
- Mariah Carey — "Honey" (Sept 13, 1997)
- Elton John — "Candle In The Wind 1997"/"Something About The Way You Look Tonight" (Oct 11, 1997)

- Aerosmith — "I Don't Want To Miss A Thing" (Sept 5, 1998)
- Lauryn Hill — "Doo Wop (That Thing)" (Nov 14, 1998)

- Fantasia — "I Believe" (July 10, 2004)

Elvis Presley (eighteen, if counting "Don't Be Cruel"
Whitney Houston holds the record for consecutive number ones: she had seven in 1987, surpassing the previous record held The Bee Gees
Elvis single, "Love Me Tender
The Beatles followed eight years later, and they set their own record which is yet to be broken: they three-peated on top of the charts. "I Want To Hold Your Hand" became their first number one which topped the charts for seven weeks when Beatlemania exploded in the US. It was then replaced by "She Loves You" for two weeks (both these recordings had already succeeded in topping the UK charts). "Can't Buy Me Love" then knocked "She Loves You" off the top and remained for five weeks, becoming their first single to top both the UK and US charts simultaneously.
1994, when Motown vocal quintet Boyz II Men replaced their record-setting "I'll Make Love To You" with "On Bended Knee".
1997, P. Diddy (then still known as "Puff Daddy") replaced himself at the top of the charts when, after his tribute to the late Notorious B.I.G. ("I'll Be Missing You," credited to Puff Daddy & Faith Evans featuring 112), was knocked out of number one by the very artist to which Diddy was paying tribute. The Notorious B.I.G.'s "Mo Money Mo Problems," credited to The Notorious B.I.G. featuring Puff Daddy and Mase, gives Diddy a number one self-replacement credit (see Bronson's The Billboard Book Of Number One Hits)
rapper Ja Rule spent two weeks at number one in 2002 with "Always On Time" (credited to Ja Rule featuring Ashanti), and then he spent six more weeks in the top position when "Ain't It Funny," a song credited to Jennifer Lopez featuring Ja Rule
Rapper Nelly followed just a few months later when his duet with Kelly Rowland, "Dilemma", knocked off his solo single "Hot In Herre"
2004. Hip-hop group OutKast's single "Hey Ya!" topped the US charts for nine weeks and the follow-up, "The Way You Move" followed straight after, but only managed one week at the top. R&B singer Usher...twelve-week stay at the top with his dance track "Yeah!", "Burn"
American Idol winner Fantasia, and returned to the top spot the following week. Usher then replaced himself again, with the title track from his album Confessions
first artist to gain four number one singles from one album was Whitney Houston during 1987-1988, with her album Whitney. Later in 1988, Michael Jackson broke the record with five number ones from his album Bad. This record holds to the present. However, also in 1988, George Michael accomplished four number ones from his album Faith, but by the time the fifth single "Monkey" hit number one in August 1988
