Pat Boone Makes Record Return to Billboard’s Adult Contemporary Chart With All-Star Single ‘One’
The legend’s history on the chart now stretches from its first edition in 1961 to 2025.
On Billboard’s first Adult Contemporary chart, dated July 17, 1961, Pat Boone ranked alongside the likes of Brooke Benton, Connie Francis, Patti Page, Frank Sinatra and Nat King Cole.
On the latest list, dated April 12, 2025, Boone shares space with artists including Teddy Swims, Sabrina Carpenter and (no relation) Benson Boone.

The legendary entertainer, 90 years young, debuts on the radio airplay chart at No. 30 with “One: Voices for Tanzania,” billed to Pat Boone World Missions. The track aims to support essential projects in Tanzania, with proceeds aiding clean water initiatives and helping to provide essential services to those in the Eastern African country.
Joining Boone on the anthem are artists including Alabama, Deborah Allen, Billy Dean, Larry Gatlin, Vince Gill, Lee Greenwood, Wendy Moten and Pam Tillis, as well as Nashville’s Legacy Mission Village Singers, comprising refugees from Tanzania and Congo, and Tanzanian gospel act Sebastian Silas & God Is Love.
“When good people come together, we are one,” Boone shared on Facebook Reels in March. “And incredible things happen.”
By bookending the Adult Contemporary chart’s history to date, Boone, thus, breaks the record for the longest span of appearing on the survey: 63 years, eight months and three weeks. He passes the late Dean Martin (60 years and six months, from 1964 through the most recent holiday season), with fellow late legend Cole now in third place (60 years, five months and two weeks, from 1961 through 2022).
Meanwhile, Boone graces the chart for the first time in almost 50 years, since “Indiana Girl” wrapped its run on the May 17, 1975, ranking. He boasts four top 10s: “Moody River” (No. 4, July 1961), “Big Cold Wind” (No. 5, September 1961), “Johnny Will” (No. 10, January 1962) and “I’ll See You in My Dreams” (No. 9, March 1962).
The beloved singer/actor (and father of Debby Boone, likewise a chart veteran) logs his first new entry on any Billboard chart since The Gold Label Presents: Pat Boone R&B Classics: We Are Family dented Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums in February 2007. He notched 33 Billboard Hot 100 hits in 1958-69, with “Moody River” leading for a week in June 1961 and “Speedy Gonzalez” marking his other top 10 (No. 6, July 1962).
In February 1997, Boone hit the Billboard 200 with the head-turning (if not quite head-banging) I’m in a Metal Mood: No More Mr. Nice Guy. The set sports covers of rock classics including Guns N’ Roses’ “Paradise City,” Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway to Heaven” and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.”
All charts dated April 12 will update Tuesday, April 8, on Billboard.com.
