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 second week on the chart in June 2006. This made the single platinum within its first week as a downloadable single (it debuted at number 38 in its first week due to an awkward release date). It was also the fastest-selling digital single of all time, selling one million copies in just nine weeks.
Daniel Powter's "Bad Day" holds the record for the most digital downloads with sales over 1.8 million as of September 2006.
Other songs with over a million in digital downloads to date 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," Nickelback's "Photograph," Kanye West's "Gold Digger," Gnarls Barkley's "Crazy," Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie," Nelly Furtado's "Promiscuous," Cascada's "Everytime We Touch," Chamillionaire's "Ridin'," Rihanna's "SOS," All American Rejects' "Dirty Little Secret" and "Move Along," Red Hot Chili Peppers' "Dani California," and Usher's "Yeah!"
"Hollaback Girl" was the first single to sell over a million downloads.
