Since hip hop’s origins in the 1970s across the Bronx boroughs, block parties and park jams, the culture has evolved to become one of the biggest music genres in the world.
What was once DJs spinning two breakbeats and an MC hyping them up, as transformed into a cultural force, shaping everything in the pop culture world – from music and TV shows to business and art.
According to the Billboard 200 Chart, there have been over 200 hip hop projects that have hit number one over the past four decades. Here’s every single one of them, since 1986.
For what it’s worth, there are the rappers with the most number ones on this list:

- Kanye (9)
- Future (7)
- Nas (6)
- J. Cole (6)
- DMX (5)
- 2Pac (5)
- Lil Wayne (5)
