The Billboard Hot 100 is the music industry standard record graph in america for singles, printed regular by Billboard newspaper. Chart rankings derive from sales (physical and digital), radio play, and online loading.
The regular sales period was formerly Monday to Weekend, when Nielsen began checking sales in 1991, but was modified to Fri to Thursday night in July 2015. Radio airplay, which, unlike sales characters and loading data, is easily available over a real-time basis, and is also tracked over a Monday to Weekend cycle (recently Wednesday to Thursday). A fresh chart is put together and officially released to the general public by Billboard on Tuesdays.
The first number 1 tune of the Hot 100 was “Poor Little Fool” by Ricky Nelson, on August 4, 1958. By the problem for the week stopping on, may 5, 2018, the Hot 100 has already established 1,072 different number 1 hits. The existing number one tune is “Nice for What” by Drake.
