Unequivocally, the Hot 100 run of Morgan Wallen‘s ‘Last Night‘ is nothing short of astounding.
The inaugural #1 hit on Pop charts for the music superstar, the Joey Moi-produced tune – found aboard Wallen’s blockbuster tertiary release ‘One Thing at a Time‘ – already made history when it became the first Country song by a solo male act to top the hitlist since 1981.
This week, thanks to a whopping 16th print in the tally’s summit position, it’s been penciled in Billboard books for becoming the overall longest-running solo #1 hit of all time.
Just 11 months after the ‘Rolling Stone’-crowned King of Pop Harry Styles set the record for longest-running #1 hit by a solo act courtesy of the gargantuan success of his ‘Harry’s House‘ hit ‘As It Was,‘ the British Pop sensation has been dethroned.
As seen in our weekly Hot 100 recap, TGJ Chart Check, Morgan remained at the top of the chart for a whopping 16th week – not only making ‘Last Night’ the longest #1 run for a non-collaboration but also gives him the honor of having the longest-running #1 hit of the 2020s.
Now in a three-way tie for the second-longest reign in the tally’s overall 65-year history, look below to see how ‘Last Night’ stacks up against the all-time competition.

Lol Last Night is literally NOTHING SPECIAL at all… not even for a country song. Usually long lasting #1s are atleast CATCHY but this isn’t, it’s BASIC, ORDINARY & FORGETABLE.
Just like every song on Beyoncé’s last 3 to 4 albums lmaoooooooooooo 🤣
^^^ TRAILER SWIFT fan mind you 😆 🤣 😂
His fans are literally trying to beat Lil Nas X record
Listen here you ugly fat vile creature who no one would ever love, just because you don’t understand what great music sounds like, a million other people do. Last Night is more special than anything you and your entire bloodline would ever do.
Heyyyyyyyyy Danny. You still here??? You LOOOOOOOVVVVVVEEEEE BLACK PEOPLE 🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡
Who’s Danzou? Honey, I love all people. But as we all know black people don’t even love black people, so why should I care about them people? YIKES!
This just sounds like a RANDOM song that managed to Crack the hot 100. Not even worthy of Top 20, let alone #1 especially not for 16 WEEKS.
Yet still, Beyoncé, the alleged “Queen” has never, could never and will never lmaoooooooooooo 🤣
^^^ TRAILER SWIFT fan
Thoughts, Opinions, and Statements automatically INVALID 💯
^^^ FLOPYONCÉ fan
Thoughts, Opinions, and Statements automatically INVALID 💯
Also Beyoncé in her entire 26 year career with only 12 #1 hits has the 2nd most weeks at #1 only behind mariah.
Exudes, excuses lol
26 years in the game and hasn’t had one of the longest-running #1 singles! SCREAMING!!!! 🤣
Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaas go Morgan! One of the best songs and albums of the year!
Beyonce has clocked almost 70 CAREER weeks at #1 and this song is BASIC asf. If this can go #1 then ANY RANDOM COUNTRY song should be able to reach #1 😆
Yet again, ANOTHER list, ANOTHER Beyoncé absence 🤣
Wonder Have Beyoncé ever sucking a pink d before? 💅🏾 if not, her loss!
Jay-Z is the one with the d*** sucking lips so who knows, my Diva! 🤣
Screaming! 😂🤣😂
Beyonce has clocked 69 weeks at #1 with over 115 hot 100 entries total in these 26 years but do continue to GO AWF 😆 🤣 😂
Ya daddy absent
My white daddy is still with my black mama but go awf lol
So your mama is a white mans w**** makes a lotta sense Shayla 😬
We love Morgan! The GP said it, no need to arguing about he is a racist or not!
Congrats! More power to my country daddy Morgan! 💅🏾 Diva don’t blame him for blocking the top spot. Even tho I want Luke Comb’s fast car hit #1…Morgan is hotter than Luke
Now that POWER ✊🏻👑✊🏻👑✊🏻👑✊🏻👑✊🏻👑🇺🇸 ✊🏻 🇺🇸
Congratulations to him.
