Hot Digital Songs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hot Digital Songs chart ranks the best-selling digital singles in the United States, according to Billboard.

Beginning in February 2005, digital sales have been incorporated into many of Billboard's music single charts. It was decided to do so mainly because the digital market was more reliable than the unpopular commercial single-sales market.[1]
