\n\tWhat are the leaders on Billboard<\/em>\u2019s other multimetric song surveys?<\/p>\n
\n\tIn addition to the Hot 100, Billboard<\/em> publishes weekly \u201cHot\u201d-named charts that measure songs\u2019 U.S. streams, radio airplay and sales in genres covering Christian, country, dance, gospel, Latin, R&B\/hip-hop and rock\/alternative. Plus, the Holiday 100 does the same for festive songs during the holiday season each year.<\/p>\n
\n\tAmong those rankings, the Hot 100\u2019s history dates to Aug. 4, 1958. Hot Country Songs and Hot R&B\/Hip-Hop Songs became the respective genres\u2019 singular listings in October 1958, following beginnings in various forms in the 1940s. Hot Latin Songs (October 1986) and Hot Rap Songs (March 1989) also trace back before this century (with all charts below having shared the Hot 100\u2019s current methodology since October 2012).<\/p>\n
\n\tBelow, Billboard<\/em> runs down the longest-leading hit on every \u201cHot\u201d-branded songs chart (through rankings dated Oct. 10). In the cases of the top titles on Christian, country, dance\/electronic, R&B\/hip-hop and rock\/alternative lists, songs\u2019 crossover success at multiple radio formats helped them reach historic runs at No. 1.<\/p>\n

\n\tFirst week at No. 1: Dec. 10, 2011<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI had absolutely no idea the impact the song would eventually have worldwide,\u201d Carey told Billboard<\/em> in 2021 of the carol, which she cowrote with Walter Afansieff. It was released on her 1994 album, Merry Christmas<\/em>. \u201cHow could I? It was so early on in my career and most young artists, at that time, weren\u2019t really making Christmas music at the onset of their careers.<\/p>\n
\n\t\u201cI was tapping into a bittersweet mixture of longing and festiveness,\u201d Carey mused further. \u201cI had grown up wishing I could have a functional family Christmas like the ones I saw on TV or in the movies, but truth is \u2026 that never happened! So, I wrote the song for the little girl in me filled with holiday spirit. The record really has brought me full circle, and I\u2019m so full of gratitude that so many people enjoy it with me every year.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n<\/li>\n
