Boyz II Men (pictured) earned a Hot 100 number-one single with " I'll Make Love to You", which stayed at the top position for fourteen straight weeks.

This is a list of the American Billboard magazine Hot 100 number-ones of 1994. There were 10 singles that topped the chart this year. The first of these, " Hero" by Mariah Carey, spent three weeks at the top, concluding a four-week run that had begun in December 1993. The longest running number-one single of 1994 is " I'll Make Love to You" by Boyz II Men, which logged 14 weeks at number-one, tying the song with " I Will Always Love You" by Whitney Houston for the most weeks at number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 until " One Sweet Day" by Mariah Carey and Boyz II Men stayed atop the chart from December 1995 to the first quarter of 1996.

With the rise of " On Bended Knee" to the top of the Hot 100, Boyz II Men became the first act to chart consecutive number-one singles in the United States since The Beatles charted three consecutive number-one singles in 1964.

Furthermore, Lisa Loeb became the first artist to reach #1 with " Stay (I Missed You)" before signing to any record label.

That year, 7 acts earned their first number one song: Celine Dion, Ace of Base, R. Kelly, All-4-One, Lisa Loeb & Nine Stories, and Ini Kamoze. Sting, already having hit number one with The Police, earned his first number one song as a solo act. Boyz II Men was the only act to hit number one more than once, by hitting twice.
