Hit songs are generally quick – Billboard Hot 100 top 10s run an average of three minutes and 15 seconds in 2023, according to Hit Songs Deconstructed – but the three longest Hot 100 hits by run time have all charted since 2019, with a new record-breaker debuting on the latest, Dec. 2-dated survey.
André 3000’s “I Swear, I Really Wanted to Make a ‘Rap’ Album But This Is Literally the Way the Wind Blew Me This Time” has, fittingly given its title, a lengthy run time: 12 minutes and 20 seconds. As it enters the Hot 100 at No. 90, it becomes the longest-running song ever to have hit the chart, surpassing Tool’s “Fear Inoculum,” at 10:21 in length. André 3000’s track – an instrumental, also atypical for a modern Hot 100 hit – additionally bests the No. 93 peak of Tool’s track in August 2019.
Now in third place among the longest-running Hot 100 hits to date, Taylor Swift’s “All Too Well (Taylor’s Version)” is 10 minutes and 13 seconds in length (in its longest version). The song launched at No. 1 in November 2021, becoming the longest leader by run time in the chart’s archives.
André 3000’s track is from the former OutKast member’s debut, all-instrumental LP New Blue Sun, which arrives at No. 1 on the New Age Albums chart with 24,000 equivalent album units earned in the United States in its first week (Nov. 17-23), according to Luminate. The song starts with 5.8 million official streams (and 22,000 in radio audience, including exposure on adult alternative stations KEXP Seattle and WXPN Philadelphia).

OutKast – André 3000 and Big Boi – charted 19 Hot 100 hits in 1994-2007, including three No. 1s: “Ms. Jackson” (one week at No. 1, 2001); “Hey Ya!” (nine weeks, 2003-04); and “The Way You Move” featuring Sleepy Brown (one week, 2004). The pair also scored five No. 1s on the Hot Rap Songs chart.
André 3000 adds his seventh solo Hot 100 entry, having reached a No. 24 high in 2008 as featured on John Legend’s “Green Light.”
Echoing the title of his new Hot 100 hit, the 48-year-old recently told NPR, “In my mind, I really would like to make a rap album. So, maybe that happens one day, but I got to find a way to say what I want to say in an interesting way that’s appealing to me at this age.”
Below, take a quick look at the five longest Hot 100 hits by run time over the chart’s history (with assistance from Paul Haney at Joel Whitburn’s Record Research).

What were some of the most notable trends on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart over the first three quarters of 2023?
Hit Songs Deconstructed, which provides compositional analytics for top 10 Hot 100 hits, has released its Q3 2023 State of the Hot 100 Top 10 report.
Here are three takeaways from Hit Songs Deconstructed’s latest in-depth research.
Country Remains Tied With Pop on Top
Over the first nine months of 2023, country and pop tied as the most common primary genres in the Hot 100’s top 10, each contributing to 21% of all top 10 hits. Country and pop shared the lead in Q1 2023, at 26% each, and at midyear, each with 23%.
“Country was the big gainer, surging from just 4% of songs in 2022 to 21% YTD 2023, its highest level in over a decade, largely thanks to Morgan Wallen,” Hit Songs Deconstructed’s report notes. Wallen’s haul has been led by “Last Night,” which first topped the Hot 100 in March and reigned for 16 weeks, the longest command for a non-collaboration in the chart’s history.

As for pop, despite its shared domination with country, its 21% share of all Hot 100 top 10s in the first three quarters of 2023 continues a decline for the genre, from 35% in all of 2022; a leading 39% in 2021; 40% in 2020; and a winning 47% in 2019.
“Pop dropped to its lowest level of prominence in over a decade,” according to Hit Songs Deconstructed. (At the same time, as Hit Songs Deconstructed noted earlier this year, while country has ascended in the Hot 100’s top 10, driven by Wallen’s hits, among others, the genre boasts notable similarities to pop songs.)
Below country and pop, two other primary genres scored double-digit shares of Hot 100 top 10s from January through September: hip-hop at 19%, and R&B/soul at 15%.
Hip-hop’s presence, like pop’s, continued to fall among Hot 100 top 10s, with its 19% take, and its third-place rank among primary genres, over Q1-Q3 2023, down noticeably from a first-place 38% finish in 2022; 34% in 2021; a leading 41% in 2020; and 34% in 2019.
R&B/soul’s share so far in 2023, conversely, nearly doubled from 8% for all of 2022.
Smaller Songwriting Teams (Sort Of)
“While songwriting teams of five-plus writers are still most common, they’ve seen a significant drop so far in 2023,” Hit Songs Deconstructed’s report indicates. Such groups accounted for a leading 38% of all Hot 100 top 10s over the year’s first three quarters, though down from 60% for all of 2019.
Songwriter groups of three (22% of all Hot 100 top 10s) and four (19%) ranked second and third, respectively, over Q1-Q3 2023.

Notably, while only 8% of Hot 100 top 10s in that span were penned by a single writer, one hit No. 1, for two weeks in August-September: Oliver Anthony Music’s self-written and -performed “Rich Men North of Richmond.” (In each of those frames, Luke Combs ranked at No. 2 with “Fast Car,” his update of Tracy Chapman’s likewise self-authored 1988 classic.)
Jersey in the Club
Among sub-genres/influences, Jersey club claimed an 8% share of Hot 100 top 10s in the first three-quarters of 2023 – following no presence between 2019 and 2022.
“Leading the way was Lil Uzi Vert’s ‘Just Wanna Rock,’ followed by Ice Spice and PinkPantheress’ ‘Boys a Liar, Pt.2,’” recaps Hit Songs Deconstructed. “Bad Bunny followed with ‘Where She Goes,’ and Ice Spice, Nicki Minaj and Aqua kept the trend going with ‘Barbie World.’”
Among other standout sub-genres/influences in the Hot 100’s top 10 in the latest research period were psychedelic/retro, via SZA’s No. 1 “Kill Bill”; Afrobeats, thanks to Rema and Selena Gomez’s “Calm Down,” which hit No. 3; and classical, as heard in JVKE’s No. 10-peaking “Golden Hour.”
Take That’s This Life (via EMI) will claim the U.K. chart crown.
With This Life, the members of pop royalty chalk up the biggest first-week sales for a British act in 2023, topping 103,000 chart units at the midweek stage, the Official Charts Company reports.
That’s more than the week one tallies for Lewis Capaldi’s Broken by Desire to be Heavenly Sent (95,000 combined units), Ed Sheeran’s – (subtract, with 76,000) and Rolling Stones’ Hackney Diamonds (72,200).

This Life should mark the ninth No. 1 for Take That, now performing and recording as the trio of Gary Barlow, Howard Donald and Mark Owen.
Previous, the lads reached the summit with Everything Changes (from 1993), Nobody Else (1995), Greatest Hits (1996), Beautiful World (2006), The Circus (2008), Progress (2010), III (2014) and Odyssey (2018).
In the week Kylie Minogue’s Australian record label home Mushroom caps its 50th anniversary celebrations, the princess of pop is set to mark her own milestone with a return to the U.K. top three.
Thanks to the release of a 35-year anniversary edition, Minogue’s debut album Kylie (via BMG) enters the midweek chart at No. 3. Following its release in 1987, Kylie held top spot on the Official U.K. Albums Chart for six non-consecutive weeks.
Close behind on the Official Chart Company is Michael Bublé’s Christmas (Reprise), which is poised for its annual return to the U.K. top 10. The Canadian crooner’s holidays classic fires-up 13-4 on the midweek list. Released in 2011, Christmas has clocked 96 weeks in the top 40, including five at No. 1.
Also eyeing the top 5 is The 1975 with their new live album At Their Very Best – Live from Madison Square Garden (Dirty Hit), new at No. 5 on the midweek tally. The MSG recording was cut during the British band’s tour in support of Being Funny in a Foreign Language, their fifth consecutive No. 1 in the U.K. Matty Healy and Co. have since announced an “indefinite hiatus” when they complete dates for the current Still… At Their Very Best world tour in late March 2024.
The late, legendary Tina Turner could land posthumous U.K. top 10 with Queen of Rock’n’Roll (Rhino). The career retrospective is set to enter the chart at No. 6, for what would be Turner’s 10th career top 10 album in the U.K. The eight-time Grammy Award winner died May 24 at the age of 83.
Finally, Scottish indie act the Trashcan Sinatras are about to lift the lid on their U.K. first top 40 appearance, thanks to a remastered and reissued version of their 1990 debut, Cake (via Last Night From Glasgow). It’s new at No. 10 on the Official Chart Update, and should easily eclipse its previous peak of No. 74. To date, the Trashcan Sinatras has a career best of No. 50 for 1993’s I’ve Seen Everything.
All will be revealed when the Official U.K. Albums Chart is published late Friday, Dec. 1.
Dolly Parton’s 30-song set Rockstar, released Nov. 17, blasts in atop Billboard’s Top Country Albums and Top Rock & Alternative Albums charts (dated Dec. 2). The legend adds her ninth No. 1 on the former and her first on the latter.
The rock-influenced LP earned 128,000 equivalent album units, with 118,000 in album sales, in the week ending Nov. 23, according to Luminate.
The album opens at No. 3 on the all-genre Billboard 200, marking Parton’s third top 10 and highest career rank. She previously visited the tier with Blue Smoke (No. 6 in 2014) and Trio, a collaborative set with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris (No. 16 in 1987).
Rockstar additionally debuts at the summit on the all-genre Top Album Sales chart, becoming Parton’s first No. 1. Its first-week sales were bolstered by its availability at outlets including Barnes & Noble, Cracker Barrel, Dollar General and Target.
The set more than doubles Parton’s previous biggest sales week for an album, notched when Slow Dancing With the Moon sold 50,500 copies in its second chart week (March 20, 1993).
The star-studded Rockstar is being promoted as Parton’s first rock album, its recording initiated following her induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022. She initially declined the honor but after entering being enshrined went all-in with the release of Rockstar.
The collection mixes original songs and covers and boasts a long list of prominent credited guests, including Pat Benatar, Miley Cyrus, Melissa Etheridge, Mick Fleetwood, Peter Frampton, Joan Jett and The Blackhearts, Elton John, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Paul McCartney, Stevie Nicks, Chris Stapleton, Ringo Starr, Sting and Steven Tyler.
Parton first reached Top Country Albums with the aptly named Hello, I’m Dolly in November 1967. She scored the first of her 49 top 10s with Just Between You and Me, with Porter Wagoner (No. 8, March 1968), and her first No. 1 with her 34th entry, 1977’s New Harvest…First Gathering, which led for a week that May.
Rockstar is Parton’s first Top Country Albums No. 1 since A Holly Dolly Christmas in 2020. “I am so proud and humbled to have my album reach No. 1 on the Billboard country and holiday charts,” she beamed to Billboard that week. “Boy, what a great early Christmas present for me!”
Meanwhile, Parton leads Top Rock & Alternative Albums in her first appearance on the chart. (Rockstar also rules Top Rock Albums, likewise marking her first visit to the survey.)
The new album’s “World On Fire” debuted and peaked at No. 26 on Hot Rock & Alternative Songs in May.
Plus, Parton’s cover of Prince and the Revolution’s “Purple Rain” enters the Rock Digital Song Sales chart at No. 14 (1,000 sold). It’s the sixth song from Rockstar to make the ranking, with three having hit the top 10 prior to the album’s release. “World On Fire” led for a week in May and her versions of The Beatles’ “Let It Be” (featuring McCartney and Starr) and Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball” (featuring Cyrus) hit Nos. 2 and 6 in September and November, respectively.
P!nk played 10 shows, split between two separate tours, in October. In all, those dates grossed $51.2 million and sold 271,000 tickets, according to figures reported to Billboard Boxscore. That’s enough to rule Billboard’s monthly Top Tours chart, marking her third month at No. 1 since the charts launched in February 2019.
P!nk began the month in San Diego, playing an Oct. 3 show at Snapdragon Stadium. After three more stadium shows on the Summer Carnival tour, she transitioned to the arena-focused Trustfall Tour, playing dates in California, Denver, and Kansas City. She’s the first artist to lead the Top Tours list via multiple tours. It’s rare enough for an artist to play two tours within a year of one another, but it does happen, per recent treks by Bad Bunny and Post Malone, among others. Both tours’ setlist, personnel and staging are relatively similar, though the Trustfall Tour puts an extra accent on its namesake album.
The October Summer Carnival shows earned $30.9 million and sold 190,000 tickets, while the six Trustfall shows brought in $20.2 million and 81,100 tickets. That means that on average, P!nk’s stadium dates averaged more than twice as much revenue as her arena concerts, at $7.7 million and $3.4 million, respectively.
The transition from stadiums to arenas, particularly in North America, makes sense as the weather shifts and outdoor concerts become less viable. Still, with active stadium tours in Oceania and South America, P!nk’s monthly gold medal in (primarily) arenas is significant.
In fact, P!nk is the first artist to crown the Top Tours chart while touring arenas in 2023 – though she did so with the help of four stadium performances. Trans-Siberian Orchestra staged the last arena win in December of last year. Before that, Bad Bunny was tops in February and March of 2022, before ruling the chart in stadiums later that year.
P!nk was No. 2 in August, when she and Beyoncé became the first women to ever rank Nos. 1-2 together. She previously topped the chart in March and July of 2019, while barreling toward the end of the Beautiful Trauma World Tour. That trek grossed $397.3 million and sold 3.1 million tickets, standing tall as the third highest-grossing tour by a woman in the Boxscore archives, behind Beyoncé’s Renaissance World Tour ($579.8 million in 2023) and Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour ($407.7 million in 2008-09).
P!nk is one of just three woman-identifying acts to lead the Top Tours chart. She follows Beyoncé, who ran the ranking in four of the previous five months. Plus, the Spice Girls were No. 1 in June 2019. Both in terms of unique artists, and in total months, women have been No. 1 for less than 20% of the time since the monthly chart premiered.
Including the Summer Carnival Tour from earlier this year, and current through the Nov. 14 Trustfall show in Miami, P!nk has grossed $309.4 million and sold just over 2 million tickets in 2023.
Eight of P!nk’s October dates appear on the Top Boxscores chart, at No. 7 with $9 million from Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on Oct. 7, and at No. 10 with $8.1 million from the SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, Calif. on Oct. 5. Unsurprisingly, the stadium shows come up first, even above double-header arena engagements in San Francisco and Kansas City.
Top Boxscores is led by RBD. The Latin pop group grossed $19.5 million over four nights at Los Angeles’ BMO Stadium (Oct. 18-20, 22). Without any other reported shows in October, it’s enough to make the venue No. 1 on Top Stadiums.
Those dates power RBD’s No. 2 finish on Top Tours with $39.4 million overall, scoring a second consecutive month in the runner-up position. Through Nov. 19, the Soy Rebelde Tour has grossed $182.6 million and sold 1.1 million. It’ll likely cross $200 million before the end of the year, becoming the second tour by a Latin act to ever do so. Bad Bunny’s World’s Hottest Tour grossed $314.1 million last year.
Last month, RBD joined Beyoncé, Coldplay, Drake and Morgan Wallen in the top five, making the most genre-diverse top five ever. October’s ranking isn’t quite as spread-out – SZA and The Weeknd double up for R&B, and Luis Miguel adds more Latin star-power – but it does block rock, the most traditionally steady genre on the touring circuit, from the upper echelon altogether.
Paul McCartney, the Eagles, John Mayer and Depeche Mode follow at Nos. 6-9, giving rock its due in the top 10. Still, October marks only the third month since the charts’ 2019 beginning without a rock act in the top five. Previously, KISS was held off at No. 6 in April 2019, and Elton John in the same spot in October ’19.
The Top Tours chart is spiked with four co-headline billings. Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull & Ricky Martin kicked off The Trilogy Tour on Oct. 14, earning $20.9 million from the first eight shows. Iglesias had previously toured with Pitbull and Martin, though these are the first concerts for the trio as a group. Elsewhere, Billy Joel and Stevie Nicks grossed $10.5 million from one date at Baltimore’s M&T Bank Stadium, at No. 3 on Top Boxscores.
The other two co-headline pairs are blink-and-you’ll-miss-it team-ups. Ben Gibbard pulls double duty as the lead of Death Cab for Cutie and The Postal Service, each celebrating a 20th anniversary of landmark 2003 albums. Their collaborative – or split-personality – tour brought in $11.5 million in October, finishing with a total of $22.1 million since its September kick-off.
Finally, Ms. Lauryn Hill & The Fugees are No. 30 with $7.8 million and 61,500 tickets from five shows, showcasing Hill’s run of ‘90s R&B and hip-hop, alongside Wyclef Jean and Pras. While we noted that P!nk and Beyoncé achieved a first-time top-two finish for women only a couple months ago, Hill is part of an even-more-sparse Boxscore history: She is just the second female rap artist to ever appear on the chart, following Cardi B via her co-headline appearance with Bruno Mars on the inaugural February 2019 list.
The Holiday 100 dashes back to Billboard’s charts menu, ranking the top seasonal songs of all eras via the same formula used for the Billboard Hot 100, blending streaming, airplay and sales data.
Mariah Carey‘s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” – which surges from No. 17 to No. 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 – rules the Holiday 100 for a 58th week of the chart’s 63 total weeks since the list launched in 2011; it has topped the seasonal survey for 43 consecutive weeks, dating to the start of the 2015-16 holiday season.
The only other Holiday 100 No. 1s to date: Justin Bieber’s “Mistletoe” for a week in the 2011-12 holiday season; Pentatonix’s “Little Drummer Boy” (one, 2013-14) and “Mary, Did You Know?” (two, 2014-15); and Ariana Grande’s “Santa Tell Me” (one, 2014-15).
Carey’s 1994 carol reigns with 22 million streams (up 57%), 15.6 million radio airplay audience impressions (up 105%) and 3,000 sold (up 70%) in the United States Nov. 17-23, according to Luminate.
Carey performed “Christmas” on an awards show for the first time as part of the 2023 Billboard Music Awards (Nov. 19). She was also honored with the Billboard Chart Achievement Award for the song, presented to her by her 12-year-old twins, Monroe and Moroccan.
The song also boasts top honors on Billboard’s Greatest of All Time Holiday 100 Songs chart.
“When I wrote [it], I had absolutely no idea the impact the song would eventually have worldwide,” Carey marveled of “Christmas” in 2021. “I’m so full of gratitude that so many people enjoy it with me every year.”

Rounding out the Holiday 100’s top five are more classics, released between the 1950s and ‘80s: Brenda Lee’s “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree” (No. 2); Bobby Helms’ “Jingle Bell Rock” (No. 3); Wham!’s “Last Christmas” (No. 4); and Burl Ives’ “A Holly Jolly Christmas” (No. 5).
Meanwhile, two songs newly released this holiday season debut on the Holiday 100, both Amazon Music Original exclusives: Chloe’s version of “Winter Wonderland” (No. 57, led by 3.5 million streams, up 130%) and Stephen Sanchez’s “Silver Bells” (No. 85; 2.2 million, up 92%).
The entire latest Holiday 100, and all other seasonal charts – Top Holiday Albums, Holiday Streaming Songs, Holiday Airplay, Holiday Digital Song Sales, Holiday 100 Songwriters and Holiday 100 Producers – along with all additional rankings, will update on Billboard.com Tuesday (Nov. 28).
Tate McRae’s “Greedy” rules both the Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts (dated Dec. 2), leading the former for a second week and the latter for the first time.
Two seasonal chestnuts return to the Global 200’s top 10: Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You,” up 17-3, and Wham!’s “Last Christmas” (26-9). Carey’s carol also rebounds to the Global Excl. U.S. top 10 (29-8), where three songs are new to the region: Tyla’s “Water” (11-6), LE SSERAFIM’s “Perfect Night” (13-9) and Jack Harlow’s “Lovin On Me” (20-10).
The Billboard Global 200 and Billboard Global Excl. U.S. charts, which began in September 2020, rank songs based on streaming and sales activity culled from more than 200 territories around the world, as compiled by Luminate. The Global 200 is inclusive of worldwide data and the Global Excl. U.S. chart comprises data from territories excluding the United States.
Chart ranks are based on a weighted formula incorporating official-only streams on both subscription and ad-supported tiers of audio and video music services, as well as download sales, the latter of which reflect purchases from full-service digital music retailers from around the world, with sales from direct-to-consumer (D2C) sites excluded from the charts’ calculations.

McRae Scores Second Week Atop Global 200
Tate McRae’s “Greedy” spends a second week at No. 1 on the Global 200, with 59.4 million streams (up 7%) and 4,000 sold (up 26%) worldwide Nov. 17-23. A week earlier, the song became the first leader on the list for the singer-songwriter from Calgary, Alberta, now based in Los Angeles. During the tracking week, McRae performed for the first time on both NBC’s Saturday Night Live (Nov. 18) and the 2023 Billboard Music Awards (Nov. 19).
Jack Harlow’s “Lovin on Me” lifts 4-2 in its second week on the Global 200.

Mariah Carey’s “All I Want for Christmas Is You” jingles 17-3 on the Global 100, with 48.8 million streams (up 49%) and 4,000 sold (up 59%) worldwide Nov. 17-23. Carey performed “Christmas” on an awards show for the first time as part of the 2023 Billboard Music Awards (Nov. 19). She was also honored with the Billboard Chart Achievement Award for the song.
The song, originally released in 1994, has spent 13 weeks atop the Global 200 (four weeks in both the 2020 and 2021 holiday seasons and five frames over last year’s holidays).
Rounding out the Global 200’s top five, Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” rises 5-4, following a week at No. 1 earlier in November, and Jung Kook’s “Standing Next to You” falls 2-5, two weeks after it debuted at the summit.

Additionally, Wham!’s “Last Christmas” returns to the Global 200’s top 10 (26-9) with 40.4 million streams and 2,000 sold (up 61%) worldwide. The song, from 1984, has spent six weeks at its No. 2 high (one, two and three weeks over the 2020, 2021 and 2022 holidays, respectively). (The pair’s George Michael became a Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee posthumously Nov. 3.)
McRae Gets ‘Greedy’ to No. 1 on Global Excl. U.S.
Tate McRae’s “Greedy” ascends 2-1 for its first week atop the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. chart, with 45.3 million streams (up 4%) and 2,000 sold (up 7%) outside the U.S. Nov. 17-23.
McRae, who hit a prior No. 15 Global Excl. U.S. best with her first entry, “You Broke Me First.,” in 2021, becomes the fourth Canadian – and first Canadian woman – to top the chart, following Justin Bieber (two No. 1s), Daniel Caesar and The Weeknd (one each).
Jung Kook’s “Seven,” featuring Latto, rebounds 3-2 on Global Excl. U.S., following nine weeks at No. 1 beginning in July, and his “Standing Next to You” drops to No. 3 after spending its first two weeks on the tally at the top spot; Iñigo Quintero’s “Si No Estás” holds at No. 4, following two weeks at No. 1 earlier in November; and Taylor Swift’s “Cruel Summer” climbs 7-5, after reaching No. 4.

Stray Kids’ “LALALALA” soars 33-9 to break into the top 10 this week. The boy band performed the song during the 2023 Billboard Music Awards presented by Marriott Bonvoy that took place Nov. 19, where the group’s album 5-STAR won the award for Top K-Pop Album. Streams surged 153 percent from the week before to rack up 6,610,148 weekly streams, jumping 43-6 for the metric. Video also increased by 25 percent and climbed 9-5.
