World Digital Song Sales

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The World Digital Song Sales chart (formerly World Digital Songs) is a weekly record chart compiled by Nielsen SoundScan and published by Billboard magazine. Established in 2010—its first issue was dated January 23[1]—as one of 21 genre-specific song charts launched by Billboard that year, it originally ranked the 25 best-selling digital singles in the World Music genre,[2] but was reduced to 15 entries in November 2021,[3] then 10 entries effective the issue dated October 28, 2023.[4]

Hawaiian singer-songwriter and musician Israel Kamakawiwoʻole's recording of "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" was the first song to rank at number one on the chart. It has dominated the ranking for most of its existence, spending 362 cumulative weeks at the top,[5] including a 116-week run at number one from the chart's inception[1] until April 2012.[6] The song has appeared on 775 issues of the chart,[7][8] excluding one issue for the week dated June 25, 2022.[9] Another notable chart-topper is Psy's "Gangnam Style", which stands in second place for most weeks at number one with a total of 50 weeks between 2012 and 2014,[10] and for total weeks on the chart, with 381.[11] Over the years, many other K-pop artists have appeared on the chart, with some reaching the top position. BTS, who earned their first number-one on the chart with "Fire" in 2016, have achieved a record 37 number-one singles.[12] Blackpink has accumulated nine number-one singles, the most of any female artist on the chart.[13]

The current number-one song on the chart, as of the issue dated November 23, 2024, is "Otonoke" by Creepy Nuts.[14]

List of number-one songs

[edit]
Since he first entered the World Digital Song Sales chart in 2013, Psy has achieved five number-one singles and spent 63 non-consecutive weeks atop the ranking.
2NE1 was the first K-Pop group to reach the number one spot with "I Am the Best" in 2014.[15]
Lin-Manuel Miranda collaborated with Opetaia Foa'i on "We Know the Way" which spent 29 non-consecutive weeks at number one.
