Here Are All of Max Martin’s Record-Setting Hot 100 No. 1s as a Producer
In 2024, Max Martin passed George Martin, of Beatles lore, for the most.
Max Martin holds the record for the most No. 1s among producers in the history of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, with 29 career leaders as of the Oct. 10, 2026 Hot 100. His 24th No. 1 came in January 2024 with Ariana Grande's "Yes, And?," surpassing George Martin – who had produced 19 of The Beatles' 20 No. 1s – for the most among producers in chart history.
Max Martin has also earned 31 Hot 100 No. 1s as a songwriter, placing him second only to Paul McCartney with 32. He first dominated the Hot 100 as both producer and writer when Britney Spears' "…Baby One More Time" reached No. 1 on Jan. 30, 1999. Martin also co-wrote and co-produced The Weeknd's "Blinding Lights" for the Hot 100's Greatest of All Time Songs retrospective.
Billboard's Dave Penn notes that Martin's ability to stay relevant stems from his timelessness – he has consistently embraced pop melody, which remains the key to mainstream hits.
