Billboard Hot 100 chart methodology

The Billboard Hot 100 ranks the top songs in the U.S. based on a combination of factors: streaming data from platforms like Spotify and Apple Music, radio airplay across major stations, and digital sales. These components are weighted to reflect each song's popularity and consumption over a recent tracking period, usually a week. The chart updates weekly, providing insights into current music trends. Billboard collaborates with data providers to ensure accurate and comprehensive measurement of a song's overall performance across different formats and audiences.
