"Closer" by The Chainsmokers (pictured) featuring Halsey spent twelve weeks at number one, becoming the longest-running number one single of the year.

The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing singles of the United States. Its data, published by Billboard magazine and compiled by Nielsen SoundScan, is based collectively on each single's weekly physical and digital sales, as well as airplay and streaming.

During 2016, ten singles reached number one on the Hot 100; an eleventh single, "Hello" by Adele, began its run at number one in November 2015.[1] Of those ten number-one singles, five were collaborations. In total, fourteen acts topped the chart as either lead or featured artists, with nine—Zayn, Desiigner, Wizkid, Kyla, Sia, The Chainsmokers, Halsey, Rae Sremmurd and Gucci Mane—achieving their first Hot 100 number-one single. The Chainsmokers and Halsey's "Closer" was the longest-running number-one of the year, leading the chart for twelve weeks; despite this, Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself" topped the Billboard Year-End Hot 100.[2]

Chart history

Justin Bieber (pictured) scored two number-one singles with "Sorry" and "Love Yourself". The latter song became the number-one song on the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 of 2016.
With "Work", Rihanna (pictured) earned her 14th number-one single on the chart, allowing her to surpass Michael Jackson for third most in the Hot 100 era.
Justin Timberlake (pictured) debuted at number one with "Can't Stop the Feeling!", becoming the twenty-sixth song to do so, and the fifth Timberlake song to top the Billboard Hot 100.
Zayn became the first UK artist to debut at number one on the Hot 100 with a first charted single: "Pillowtalk".
