Songs with the most weeks on the chart
Reaching 100 weeks in a Top 100 is no small feat; it requires a song to transcend "trend" status and become a genuine staple. Today, we’re looking at the ten titans that have spent the most time on the Blond chart, ranked from the ultimate champion down.
1. Taylor Swift – "cardigan" (136 Weeks)
At the very top of the mountain sits the lead single from folklore. With a staggering 136 weeks, "cardigan" is the definitive Blond chart anthem. Its success proves that high-concept storytelling and atmospheric production have a staying power that outlasts any club banger.
2. Taylor Swift – "Cruel Summer" (128 Weeks)
The song that simply refused to be a "deep cut." Originally released in 2019, its resurgence and eventual chart dominance are legendary. It’s the ultimate bridge-shouting anthem, and its 128-week run shows no signs of slowing down.
3. Taylor Swift – "Anti-Hero" (128 Weeks)
Tied with "Cruel Summer," Taylor’s lead single from Midnights struck a chord with its vulnerable, self-deprecating lyrics. It’s rare for a song to be both a massive radio hit and a long-term chart resident, but "Anti-Hero" managed it effortlessly.
4. Lana Del Rey – "A&W" (111 Weeks)
Clocking in at over seven minutes, "A&W" is the longest song on this list, making its 111-week tenure even more impressive. Lana’s ability to shift from folk-horror to trap-heavy electronics keeps listeners coming back to dissect every lyric.
5. Harry Styles – "As It Was" (110 Weeks)
The synth-pop juggernaut of 2022 is still a juggernaut today. With 110 weeks on the chart, Harry Styles’ vulnerable dance track has become the background music to a million memories.
6. Dua Lipa – "Don't Start Now" (103 Weeks)
The song that kickstarted the disco-revival era remains its strongest representative. 103 weeks later, that bassline is still as infectious as it was on day one.
7. Billie Eilish – "Happier Than Ever" (103 Weeks)
Tied with Dua Lipa, Billie’s genre-shifting masterpiece captures a specific emotional release that never gets old. Whether it’s the quiet acoustic beginning or the screaming rock finale, it has earned every one of its 103 weeks.
8. Lana Del Rey – "Blue Jeans" (102 Weeks)
A testament to the "Lana Lore," this track from 2012 is still out-charting modern releases. Its 102-week run on the Blond chart highlights a deep appreciation for the cinematic, "Sad Girl Autumn" aesthetic that Lana pioneered.
9. Kendrick Lamar – "Backseat Freestyle" (100 Weeks)
The only rap solo on the list to hit the triple-digit milestone. Kendrick’s technical flow and the sheer energy of the production make this a permanent fixture for anyone needing a high-intensity listen. Welcome to the 100-week club, Kendrick.
10. Nirvana – "Smells Like Teen Spirit" (98 Weeks)
Rounding out the top ten is the ultimate alternative anthem. At 98 weeks, it is the oldest song in the ranking, proving that music survives generations when it's good!

As a folklore/evermore fan, I am so glad this is placed at the top. The songwriting in those albums are top tier
When I was in my reggaeton phase, there was no one stopping me.

Um pouco aleatório pois pega vários bops mas algumas desconhecidas italianas que eu amo, mas curioso ver o empate das duas primeiras já que ambas surgiram no meu chart em 2021 mas em épocas diferentes, bem irmãs.

234 weeks is crazy 😭
Aqui as músicas meio que tem zero estabilidade, então nenhuma tem 100 semanas, mas certeza que Daylight passa essa marca até, sei lá, setembro
Creio que daqui a uns 2 anos o top 5 vão ser só músicas de natal kkkkkk
over a year is a lot for me
Tem que respeitar o impacto da princesa do pop
Whole Lotta Money was already doing its thing on the charts but everything changed when BIA dropped the remix with Nicki Minaj in 2021.
The track shot all the way to No. 1, and ended up becoming the longest-charting song in BEYS HOT 100 history.
Only 14 songs have spent a full year on my HOT 100
Nos meus charts as músicas não tem muita longevidade então metade do meu top 20 são músicas de Natal que acabam por chartear muito mais tempo (o meu chart se chama hot 100 mas na verdade é hot 50 kkk)
Positions still holding strong despite the SMASH era that Eternal Sunshine had on JoshiCharts. Wonder if anything from petal might dethrone her?

love your library
I am impressed by all the folks who have 20+ songs in the chart for longer than 1 year (52 weeks)! It's hard for me to get that.
