What Is Billboard Hot 100?

The Billboard Hot 100 is the United States music industry standard singles popularity chart issued weekly by Billboard Magazine.

Chart rankings are based on airplay and sales; the tracking-week for sales begins on Monday and ends on Sunday; while the airplay tracking-week runs from Wednesday to Tuesday.
A new chart is compiled and officially released to the public by Billboard on Thursday. Each chart is dated with the "week-ending" date of the following Saturday.

How This Will Go

They are listed in order from the beginning of the year to the end. With videos of them singing their songs when possible.
