Songs that topped the Hot 100 but not Hot Digital Songs
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:
2005
  
Mario, Let Me Love You - 9 weeks atop Hot 100
Mariah Carey, We Belong Together - 14 weeks atop Hot 100 
Chris Brown, Run It! - 5 weeks atop Hot 100
2006
   
Nelly f/ Paul Wall, Ali & Gipp, Grillz - 2 weeks atop Hot 100
Sean Paul, Temperature - 1 week atop Hot 100
Chamillionaire, Ridin' - 2 weeks atop Hot 100
Ludacris f/ Pharrell, Money Maker - 2 weeks atop Hot 100
2007
   
Nelly Furtado, Say It Right - 1 week atop Hot 100
Akon, Don't Matter - 2 weeks atop Hot 100
T-Pain f/ Yung Joc, Buy U A Drank (Shawty Snappin') - 1 week atop Hot 100
Fergie, Big Girls Don't Cry - 1 week atop Hot 100
2008
Lil Wayne, Lollipop - 5 weeks atop Hot 100
2009
 
Jay Sean f/ Li lWayne, Down - 2 weeks atop Hot 100
Jason DeRulo, Whatcha Say - 1 week atop Hot 100
2010
 
Rihanna, Rude Boy - 5 weeks atop Hot 100
P!nk, Raise Your Glass - 1 week atop Hot 100
2011
 
Wiz Khalifa, Black and Yellow - 1 week atop Hot 100
Pitbull f/ Ne-Yo, Afrojack, & Nayer, Give Me Everything - 1 week atop Hot 100
2012
Maroon 5, One More Night - 9 weeks atop Hot 100
2013
Baauer, Harlem Shake - 5 weeks atop Hot 100 
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.

Give Me Everything was only number on on Billboard for a week? That song was everywhere...  mostly on the radio.

It was blocked by RITD then immediately overtaken by PRA.

Yes, that's very strange, since Big Girls Don't Cry was the best-selling digital song of 2007, I'm surprised it never got #1 in the weekly digital chart.

Fergie had 3 songs in the top 10 that year. Really the Katy Perry of 2007!  That was such a good year for female pop music, also Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, Beyonce and Avril Lavigne in the top 10!!

2003-2007 inflated, far from REALITY Rhythmic and Urban airplay. Horrible years. So unfair.

It had a second version charting, keeping the original from really hitting the top of iTunes.

ok, that explains why a lot of hip hop/RnB songs were able to top the Hot 100 then. wasn't aware of that.

The fact that urban and rhythmic airplay from back then was inflated is just a myth. The real reason why it was like that was just because back then the chart was mainly airplay driven, since sales (both physical and digital) were both so low. And the songs that were usually higher on airplay at any given time were urban songs, because they were being played on urban, rhythmic and pop all at the same time. Whilst with pure pop songs, they were being played on pop radio, and adult contemporary, etc. would only pick them up months later, which meant they couldn't have such high airplay peaks.
If adult contemporary didn't wait 4 months to playlist pop songs, then some of them might've got to #1.
In my country, the charts were only based only on sales, and it was still urban dominated here too.

I don't think those airplay figures were "inflated," at least not the figures that Billboard uses to determine a song's position on the charts. Mediabase, however, had hugely inflated numbers, but Billboard doesn't use Mediabase.
