Stats: Digital Sales #1s that failed to top Hot 100
 |
|
In this thread, I’ll list every song that topped the Hot Digital Songs chart, but failed to top the Hot 100 due to not having enough airplay.
In case you don’t know, the Hot Digital Songs ranks the best-selling songs, while the Hot 100 is a mix of sales and airplay (and recently, streams).
