How many U.S. number-one singles are credited to the Eagles?

The story behind the answer

How many U.S. number-one singles are credited to the Eagles? The Eagles have five U.S. number-one singles.

Their five Billboard Hot 100 leaders are “Best of My Love,” “One of These Nights,” “New Kid in Town,” “Hotel California,” and “Heartache Tonight.” These hits span the group’s peak 1970s run, from *On the Border* through *The Long Run*.

The number refers to singles topping the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, not the number of albums that reached No. 1. The Eagles also had six U.S. number-one albums, which is why the figures are sometimes confused.

Another distinction matters: “Hotel California” is often remembered primarily as an album track, but it did become the group’s fourth Hot 100 No. 1. “Best of My Love,” released in 1974, was their first.
