The 'Hot Digital Songs' chart ranks the best-selling digital singles in the
United States, according to ''
Billboard''.
Beginning in
February 2005, digital sales have been incorporated into many of ''Billboard's music single charts. It was decided to do so mainly because the digital market was more reliable than the unpopular commercial single-sales market. The current #1 on the chart is "
Beautiful Girls (Sean Kingston song)" by
Sean Kingston.
