TV Soundtracks With the Most Weeks at No. 1 on the Top Soundtracks Chart

Hazbin Hotel is unique among the longest-running No. 1 soundtracks for two reasons.

Hazbin Hotel: Season One has been No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Soundtracks chart for 11 consecutive weeks – its entire run on that chart so far. It’s already one of the 10 longest-running soundtracks from a TV show in that chart’s nearly 33-year history.

Hazbin Hotel is unique among the longest-running No. 1 soundtracks for two reasons. It’s a soundtrack to a property that is aimed at older teens and adults, rather than one aimed at tweens, young teens or families. And the show streams on Amazon Prime Video. Of the 10 TV soundtracks with the longest runs at No. 1 on Top Soundtracks, eight were from projects that aired on The Disney Channel. (The leader on our list is from a show that aired on a legacy network, CBS. Can you guess what it is? I think you’ll agree that it’s a worthy leader for a list like this.)

Hazbin Hotel is an animated musical comedy series that was created by Vivienne “VivziePop” Medrano. The pilot episode was released on YouTube on Oct. 28, 2019. The first season premiered on Amazon Prime Video on Jan. 18, with its first episode also released on YouTube that same day for a limited release. The series stars Stephanie Beatriz, Alex Brightman, Keith David and Kimiko Glenn. You may remember that Beatriz topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks in 2022 as a featured member of the Encanto cast with “We Don’t Talk About Bruno.”

Here’s a look at all TV soundtracks that have topped Billboard’s Top Soundtracks chart for nine or more weeks. They are listed in ascending order.

Weeks at No. 1 on Top Soundtracks: Nine

Billboard 200 peak: No. 5

TV premiere date: Aug. 25, 2006

Network: The Disney Channel

Notes: The Cheetah Girls 2 was the sequel to the 2003 Disney Channel film The Cheetah Girls. Both projects starred The Cheetah Girls and Raven-Symoné. Directed by genre GOAT Kenny Ortega, the sequel is about the quartet taking a whirlwind tour of Spain to pursue their dreams of pop superstardom. Its premiere received the highest ratings of all Disney Channel Movies to that point, with more than 8.1 million viewers. The album spawned The Cheetah Girls’ Hot 100 hits “Strut” (No. 53) and “The Party’s Just Begun” (No. 85).
Lemonade Mouth

Weeks at No. 1 on Top Soundtracks: Nine

Billboard 200 peak: No. 4

TV premiere date: April 15, 2011

Network: The Disney Channel

Notes: Bridgit Mendler, Adam Hicks, Naomi Scott, Hayley Kiyoko and Blake Michael starred in this film, about five high school students who meet in detention and form a band. It was more dramatic and less purely escapist than most Disney Channel projects. The film, based on the 2007 novel of the same name, was directed by Patricia Riggen. The soundtrack spawned three Hot 100 hits: “Determinate” (No. 51), “Breakthrough” (No. 88) and “Somebody” (No. 89), the latter credited to Mendler.
Teen Beach Movie

Weeks at No. 1 on Top Soundtracks: 10

Billboard 200 peak: No. 3

TV premiere date: July 19, 2013

Network: The Disney Channel

Notes: The title couldn’t have been more generic, but, hey, it worked! Jeffrey Hornaday directed the film, which starred Ross Lynch and Maia Mitchell. The album spawned the Hot 100 hit “Cruisin’ for a Brusin’” (featuring Lynch, Grace Phipps and Jason Evigan) (No. 82). A sequel, Teen Beach 2, premiered on June 26, 2015.
Descendants

Weeks at No. 1 on Top Soundtracks: 11

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 (one week)

TV premiere date: July 31, 2015

Network: The Disney Channel

Notes: Ortega also directed and choreographed this musical fantasy film, which starred Dove Cameron, Sofia Carson, Booboo Stewart and Cameron Boyce as the teenage children of Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Jafar and Cruella de Vil, respectively. The film also starred Kathy Najimy and Kristin Chenoweth. The soundtrack entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 in August 2015. Cameron’s “If Only” reached No. 94 on the Hot 100. The soundtracks to two sequels also made the top 10 on the Billboard 200.

Weeks at No. 1 on Top Soundtracks: 11

Billboard 200 peak: No. 1 (one week)

TV premiere date: April 23, 2007

Network: The Disney Channel

Notes: Long before “Wrecking Ball” and “Flowers” took her to the top of the Hot 100, Miley Cyrus played Miley Stewart on the weekly teen sitcom, Hannah Montana. As the title of this double album suggests, this was half Hannah Montana TV soundtrack and half Miley Cyrus studio album. This was the second Hannah Montana soundtrack in a row to enter the Billboard 200 at No. 1. Nine songs from the album made the Hot 100, six credited to Hannah Montana and three to Miley. The highest-charting and most notable of them was “See You Again,” a mainstream pop single, billed to Miley, that cracked the top 10. Miley was on her way, though who then could have guessed how big she would become?
Hazbin Hotel: Season One

Weeks at No. 1 on Top Soundtracks: 11 (so far)

Billboard 200 peak: No. 13

TV premiere date: Jan. 18, 2024

Network: Amazon Prime Video

Notes: The music for Hazbin Hotel (Original Soundtrack) was composed by Andrew Underberg and Sam Haft. Several songs from the soundtrack have bubbled under the Hot 100, including “Poison,” “Stayed Gone,” “Loser, Baby” and “Hell’s Greatest Dad.” “Poison,” credited to Blake Roman, Sam Haft & Andrew Underberg, has climbed as high as No. 14 on Billboard’s Hot Rock and Alternative Songs.

As Billboard’s Xander Zellner detailed in January: “Roman is the vocalist on ‘Poison,’ and also a voice actor in the series, while Haft and Underberg are composers. Haft is also half of the electronic duo The Living Tombstone, which charted multiple songs on Billboard’s rankings in November from the Five Nights at Freddy’s series. Underberg has composed musical numbers for several children’s movies and
