UNLESS the song was one of the few hits on the Hot 100 with a physical counterpart. Since "Yeah" had a 12" vinyl release, Billboard added the points from I-Tunes to the points from the 12" single. I'm almost certain the same was done for "Hey Ya", since it was half of a double-sided physical single with "The Way You Move". I remember at the time wondering why Billboard couldn't just go ahead and give all of the songs I-Tunes credit, with or without a physical counterpart, but that didn't happen until February 2005. I don't know if there is a link I could find now or not regarding this, because I know those magazines from 2004 went to the garbage a decade ago.
