true

death at mariah not #1 on digital, in any of those 14 weeks she was #1

RUDE BOY!

Followed the progress of this song.

Digital Peaks:
Run It #2 (When I’m Gone)
We Belong Together #2 (Hollaback, Don’t Phunk)
Big Girls Don’t Cry #2 (Delilahx3)
Grillz #2 (Check On Itx2)
Temperature #2 (You’re Beautifulx2, Bad Dayx2)
Say It Right #2 (Arms Race)
Yellow #2 (Grenade, Perfect, Doctor)
Give Me Everything #2 (Rolling in the Deepx4)
Down #2 (IGFx2)
Whatcha Say #2 (Party in the USAx2)
Rude Boy #2 (Breakx2, Soul Sisterx2)
Raise Your Glass #2 (Firework)
Buy U A Drank #2 (Makes You Wonderx2)
Lollipop #2 (Bleeding Lovex2, 4 Minutes, Time of My Life, Viva La Vida)
Don’t Matter #2 (Hotx2, Glamorous)
Riding #3
Money Maker #3
Let Me Love You #7 [beginning of digital era]

So I guess since 2007 you have to at least have been in the T2 of digital sometime to hit #1.
The single song that kept a #1 down the longest is RITD with 4 weeks, but Lollipop was the runner-up for 5 weeks to 4 different songs.

2006+, lowest digital charters a week they were #1: #6 We Found Love, Down, Tik Tok, I Gotta Feeling, Whatever You Like, Big Girls Don't Cry
#7 G6, Check On It, Irreplaceable
#9 Only Girl

Mariah was too busy selling almost 6 million albums

2012



Maroon 5, One More Night - 2 weeks atop Hot 100 (so far)

Wow.

Irreplaceable, Check On It?

Irreplaceable topped HDS

Too bad for One More Night, faced with Taylor and Psy

but it's cool coz it topped the Hot 100 anyway

(unlike payphone which topped digital, radio and streaming but never topped Hot 100 )

I mean, that's the worst it could happen

Revival bump

thanks!

The Hot Digital Songs chart was introduced into the Hot 100's ranking formula in February 2005. Normally, songs that top the HDS chart usually go on to top the Hot 100 during their run, but there are a few that are an exception to this theory. Here are just a few off of the top of my head:



If there are others, please post and I'll add to the OP

*Note: only songs from February 2005 through present will be used since this is when HDS went into effect for the Hot 100.

At some point WE BELONG TOGETHER was at no20 on i-tunes and hot digital sales but still at no1 because of airplay. LOL. If the US charts were like in most other countries, WBT would have never hit no1! It would have peaked at no2 for a couple of weeks. Radio forced it down Americans' throat.

It peaked #2 in the UK as well where it's just sales (but it sold more in the long run than some of the songs which hit #1 that year).

I don't think We Belong Together should've been the decade-end #1 though. I think something like Yeah! or even I Gotta Feeling would've been more deserving.

Didn't Harlem Shake top HDS for a couple weeks?

No. Thrift Shop blocked it on HDS.
