Topping the tally, Selena Gomez & the Scene’s “Love You Like a Love Song” reached No. 22 on the Hot 100 in March 2012. With 38 weeks on the survey overall, it’s her longest-charting hit. It also rose to No. 6 on the Pop Airplay chart, marking the first of Gomez’s 11 top 10s on the ranking; she most recently reached the region in January 2020 with the No. 2-peaking “Lose You to Love Me,” which also became her first Hot 100 No. 1.

“It’s a transitional stage. I’m figuring out what I have to do,” Gomez mused for a 2011 Billboard cover story, timed to the release of “Love You Like a Love Song” parent album When the Sun Goes Down. The following January, Gomez wrapped her four-season run on Disney Channel’s Wizards of Waverly Place.

“It’s obviously an important phase in my career, and personally,” said Gomez, who made her chart debut in 2008. “The good news is I have been juggling acting and singing for two-and-a-half to three years. But I have to start over in some areas. It’s interesting to start taking risks, to grow up through my music.”

Billboard‘s 22 No. 22 Hits for ’22 recap is based on actual performance on the weekly Hot 100 chart. Songs are ranked based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 earning the greatest value. Due to changes in chart methodology over the years, eras are weighted to account for different chart turnover rates over various periods.
