Hits of the World

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Hits of the World is a collection of weekly record charts published by Billboard magazine. It ranks the top 25 songs in more than 40 countries around the globe based on streaming and digital sales. These charts in 40+ countries joined existing chart listings for Billboard-branded licensees in Argentina, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Vietnam, along with Billboard's longstanding third-party partner charts like Official Charts Company in the United Kingdom.[1]

Announced on February 14, 2022, and launched the following day, the tracking period for each chart runs from Friday to Thursday of every week with new charts released every Tuesday.[2]

Hits of the World takes its name from the pages of the old Billboard magazines, where were listed charts around the world.
