Hot 100

Hot 100 is not a radio station but rather a music chart published weekly by *Billboard* magazine in the United States. Officially known as the Billboard Hot 100, it ranks the top 100 songs across all genres based on a combination of sales (physical and digital), radio airplay, and streaming data. Established on August 4, 1958, it is considered one of the most prestigious music charts in the world. The chart is widely used as a benchmark for a song's popularity and commercial success in the U.S. Music industry trends and achievements are often measured by artists' placements on the Hot 100.
