context_page_description: The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing songs in the United States, published by Billboard magazine. In the 2000s, each chart's "week ending" date was the Saturday of the following two weeks. The data were compiled by Nielsen SoundScan based collectively on each single's weekly physical and digital sales, airplay, and streaming. Only songs released as physical singles were counted prior to 1998, when Billboard magazine allowed airplay-only singles to chart. While Nielsen had begun tracking digital sales since 2003 for the component chart Digital Songs, it was not until the chart dated February 12, 2005 that digital performance was officially recognized as a performance indicator on the Hot 100, in the wake of decreasing traditional physical sales. On August 4, 2007, Billboard added online streaming to its methodology.
  Throughout the decade, a total of 129 singles claimed the top spot of the Hot 100.
