Hot Digital Songs
Encyclopedia : H : HO : HOT : Hot Digital Songs
The Hot Digital Songs chart ranks the best-selling digital singles in the United States, according to Billboard magazine.
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.
Most downloads sold
Shakira featuring Wyclef Jean hold the record for the most downloads sold in one week, when "Hips Don't Lie" sold over 267,000 digital downloads during its first week out in June 2006. This makes the single, Hips Don't Lie, platinum within its first week out as a downloadable single, a record that had not been achieved until now.
Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" holds the record for the most digital downloads with sales over 1.6 million.
Other songs with over a million in digital downloads include James Blunt's "You're Beautiful," Kelly Clarkson's "Since U Been Gone," Sean Paul's "Temperature," Natasha Bedingfield's "Unwritten," Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl," The Pussycat Dolls's "Don't Cha," and Kanye West's "Gold Digger".
