List of Billboard Hot 100 number ones of 2001

The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing singles of the United States. Published by Billboard magazine, the data are compiled by Nielsen SoundScan based collectively on each single's weekly physical sales, and airplay. In 2001, there were 14 singles that topped the chart,^[1] in 52 issue dates. Although 15 singles claimed the top position throughout the year, group Destiny's Child's "Independent Women Part I" is credited in 2000, and is thus excluded.^{[citation needed]}

Canadian rock band Nickelback earned their first and only number one single with "How You Remind Me". It went on to be the best-charting song of 2002.

Janet Jackson's "All for You" was the longest-running single of 2001, topping the Hot 100 for seven consecutive weeks.
