Billboard is an American music magazine, headquartered in New York City, New York and owned by Prometheus Global Media. It was first published on November 1, 1894, and is distinguished as being among the oldest trade magazines in the world. The magazine originally focused on bill posting and outdoor amusements before specializing in the music industry in the 1960s. Billboard maintains several internationally-recognized record charts, which track the most popular songs and albums across several categories on a weekly basis. Its primary charts, the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard 200, respectively rank the top songs and albums regardless of genre, and are based on digital downloads, radio airplay, and internet streaming. Its data is largely based on the Nielsen SoundScan tracking system, which it has used since 1991.

The Billboard charts tabulate the relative weekly popularity of songs or albums in the United States. The results are published in Billboard magazine.

Digital Songs and Digital Tracks

The Digital Songs chart (first named Hot Digital Songs) ranks songs by their amount of digital downloads and was first published by Billboard in January 2005 due to the fact that the digital music market was increasing rapidly while physical CD singles became less and less popular. The chart was incorporated in the Hot 100's formula three weeks later.

Billboard has already started tracking digital downloads data in July 2003 with the Hot Digital Tracks chart. The difference between the two charts is that Hot Digital Tracks can rank different versions of one songs, for example remixes, "explicit" or "clean" versions, and any other alternate versions, while Digital Songs combines all versions of a song for a summarized figure.

"Bring Me to Life"	35	9
