Only nine songs have managed to chart consecutively on Billboard's three radio airplay charts: Pop Songs (pop songs), Rhythmic Songs (rhythmic songs) and Adult Pop Songs (adult pop songs), during the 22 years that the three charts have coexisted.

The Pop Songs chart, which began in 1992, measures total weekly streams, as tabulated by Nielsen Music, among its reporting panel of Top 40 stations. Rhythmic Songs (also released in 1992) reflects airplay on rhythmic stations ranging from pop to R&B/hip-hop; while Adult Pop Songs (started in Billboard magazine in 1996) ranks songs on top 40 adult stations.

Havana, by Camila Cabello with Young Thug, is the newly crowned one on these lists, becoming the first song by a woman on the Pop, Rhythmic & Adult Pop Songs hits since 1996, which broke all the predictions that pointed to the lack of success of the issue.

The previous one to reach this record was the very famous Uptown Funk, by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars, in 2015, commercial success throughout the world, entering number one on the singles chart also in the United Kingdom, France, Scotland, Belgium, Ireland, Croatia, Spain, Argentina, Chile, Israel , Canada and Mexico.

Uptown Funk It became Ronson's first number-one single in the country and Bruno Mars' sixth. It was also the song with the most weeks in first place on the Hot 100 of the 2010s.

In 2014, three songs achieved this record, being the year that granted the most number 1s to these lists. The first were Happy, by Pharrell Williams and All of me, the John Legend.

The mega success Happy It topped the US Billboard Hot 100 chart for ten consecutive weeks, making it the most successful song of 2014 according to the Billboard Hot 100 Year-End chart. It was nominated for an Oscar in the category of best original song, as part of the soundtrack of My favourite villain 2.

All of me is dedicated to Legend's wife, model Chrissy Teigen, and remained at the top of the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks in May 2014, becoming the R&B singer's first number one in the United States.

And in third place in 2014 Am I Wrong, by the Norwegians Nico & Vinz.

In 2013 the winners were Mirrors by Justin Timberlake and Blurred Lines, by Robin Thicke, T.I. and Pharrell Williams, who topped the Billboard Hot 100 charts for 12 consecutive weeks.

In 1999, Livin' La Vida Loca, by Puerto Rican Ricky Martin became the second song to reach number one on these three Billboard charts, and helped Ricky gain enormous success within the United States and the world. The song is considered by many critics to be the song that started the Latin pop explosion in 1999.

The first place is for One Sweet Day, by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men, in 1996, which ruled the Billboard Hot 100 for 16 weeks, a record only equaled by Slowly, by Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee with Justin Bieber last year.
