Digital Songs






Billboard logo (From 2013)


The Digital Songs chart (previously named Hot Digital Songs)[1] ranks the best-selling digital songs in the United States, as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan and published by Billboard. It debuted in the issue dated January 22, 2005, and merged all versions of a song sold from digital music distributors.[2] Its data was incorporated in the Hot 100 three weeks later. Since October 2004, digital sales have been incorporated into many of Billboard's music singles charts.[3] The decision was based on the dramatic increase of the digital market while commercial single sales in a physical format were becoming negligible.[4]


The chart's current number one as of the issue dated December 29, 2018 is "Without Me" by Halsey.[5]
