Songs that were at the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for at least 10 weeks.
The Top Ten
1 Foolish - Ashanti

This song was #1 for 10 weeks in 2002.

2 Lose Yourself - Eminem

This song was #1 for 12 weeks from 2002 into 2003, and was actually one of the best rap songs.

3 See You Again - Wiz Khalifa

This was played at the end of my eighth grade graduation party, so this song really hits me. I had known all those kids since second grade, and it was time to say goodbye to them.
I am now a senior in high school, and I'm gonna feel the same about my current friends.

This song was #1 for 12 weeks in 2015. Although it could have been better, I still really liked it.

4 I'll Be Missing You - Puff Daddy

This song was #1 for 11 weeks in 1997, and I think it was very good, but maybe that's just because it sampled another song that is

5 Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson

I still like this song. It brings back a lot of good memories.

This song was #1 for 14 weeks beginning in very early 2015.

6 Happy - Pharrell Williams

Although this song is considered by many to be the most overplayed song ever (What About Us was on more), I actually found it really enjoyable. This song was #1 for 10 weeks in 2014.

7 Despacito - Luis Fonsi

This song was #1 for 16 weeks around mid-2017, and although a lot of people hated it mainly due to over-saturation, I found it kind of enjoyable.

8 Closer - The Chainsmokers

This song was #1 for 12 weeks in 2016, and although it is just another generic electropop song, Halsey's verse makes up for Drew's lackluster vocal performance in my opinion.

9 We Found Love - Rihanna

This song was #1 for 10 weeks from 2011 into 2012.

10 I Gotta Feeling - The Black Eyed Peas

This song was #1 for 14 weeks in 2009.

The Contenders
11 I Will Always Love You - Whitney Houston

Needs a top ten place songs like Despacito or Closer will not be looked on as classics like this one.

This song was #1 for 14 weeks from 1992 into 1993.

This song was #1 for 14 weeks in 2005.

Well, it happened. This crap hit 10 weeks at #1.

Not really to be honest...

21 Yeah! - Usher

Still a fun party smash

22 End of the Road - Boyz II Men

Considering that this is not a pop song like nearly every other song on this list, it being at number 1 for that long is remarkable.

This song topped the Billboard Hot 100 for a record-breaking 19 weeks.

25 Stupid Hoe - Nicki Minaj

This song didn't even make it to the top 10 on the Hot 100 when it charted in 2012.

It was so good
