As many Hot 100 chart policies have been modified over the years, one rule always remained constant: songs were not eligible to enter the Hot 100 unless they were available to purchase as a single.
With the growing popularity of albums, it was decided to move EPs (which typically contain four to six tracks) from the Hot 100 to the Billboard 200, where they are included to this day.
Since the Hot 100 is based on singles sales, as singles have themselves become a less common form of song release, the Hot 100's data has represented a narrowing segment of sales.

  Hot Digital Tracks - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hot Digital Tracks chart ranks the best selling digital tracks in the United States according to Billboard magazine.
It is not to be confused with the Hot Digital Songs chart, which combines different versions of songs for a summarized figure (for example remixes, "explicit" or "clean" versions, and/or any other alternate versions can chart separately here, whereas all versions of the same track occupy only one position on Hot Digital Songs).
The Hot Digital Tracks was created in 2003, but its data would not be used as a component for compiling the Billboard Hot 100 until February 2005.

 Hot Digital Songs - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Hot Digital Songs chart ranks the best-selling digital singles in the United States, according to Billboard magazine.
It was decided to do so mainly because the digital market was more reliable than the unpopular commercial single-sales market.

 Billboard Hot 100 - Facts, Information, and Encyclopedia Reference article
A new chart, the Pop 100, has been created to answer criticism that the Hot 100 in recent years has been biased in favor of rhythmic songs, as throughout most of its existence, it was seen predominantly as a pop chart.
Billboard's Hot 100 chart policies have been modified many times over the years to accommodate changes in the record industry, but one rule always remained constant: songs were not eligible to enter the Hot 100 unless they were available to purchase as a single.
Since the Hot 100 is based on singles sales and radio airplay, as singles have themselves become a less common form of song release, the Hot 100's data has represented a narrowing segment of sales and number of releases.

 Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 (PlayStation 2) Reviews. PlayStation 2 Games Reviews by CNET.
Hot Pursuit II gives you three different perspectives to play from--two from the third-person and one from the first--and all of these relay an incredible sense of speed.
Hot Pursuit II's graphics engine even allows for localized fog, and this effect is used on several tracks to model morning fog, sand storms, volcanoes, and forest fires.
Hot Pursuit II runs at a smooth frame rate with almost no signs of slowdown--it's not quite the 60fps you'll find in Burnout 2, but it's still fast.

It is easy to see from the stats that digital sales are poised to take over physical forms of distribution, but CD manufacturers should not give up their day jobs yet.
Digital formats are still in the shadow of their physical counterparts.

 Hot Wheels World Race (GameCube) Reviews. GameCube Games Reviews by CNET.
Each track is modeled after a "theme" environment--for instance, one track has an Egyptian motif and another track resides high up in the clouds.
Most tracks reuse a lot of the same basic design elements over and over again, and there isn't much variety to be found beyond the basic environment concepts.
World Race's track designs are definitely inspired by some of the more popular futuristic racers on the market today.

Digital downloads are counted only if all the songs available on a physical retail single are downloaded together using the "buy album" option.
Digital downloads of a single song (or individual downloads of all the songs in a physical single) are not counted.
The main difference is that the Hot Digital Songs chart combines downloads of different versions of the same song, while the Hot Digital Tracks chart counts downloads of different versions of the same song independently.

 Digital players make hits out of songs that don't sell in stores   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
The trend recently was reflected in a change Billboard magazine made to the way it selects its Hot 100, now factoring legal downloads of singles into its formula for picking the top tunes.
Back in the days of the spindle and the 45, it was easy to keep track of which songs were the most popular in the country by tracking their sales.
The impact of figuring the digitals into the top singles is that a song such as Green Day's "Boulevard of Broken Dreams" is suddenly on the fast track up the singles charts.

The Hot 100 was a unique combination of sales and airplay data and it quickly became the most authoritative measure of song popularity.
After existing as a singles chart for 40 years and four months, the Hot 100 effectively became a song chart with the dropping of the requirement that a commercial single be available.
The newest chart to be influenced by changing technology is Hot Digital Tracks, which measures the sales of paid legal downloads.

Today, Billboard maintains the digital tracks chart-- which measures every variation of a song (the clean version, the explicit one, and so on)-- and a digital songs chart, which groups all of the versions under a single title.
If someone finds a particular track that they like, and is inclined to buy it, fine, maybe they just buy that one track.
But the way the services are all structured, when they're looking at that track, they'll also be looking at the album that track came from.

 Home Recording dot com BBS - Compressing, normalizing and all that Jazz   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
It really is a questionable process because it can raise the noise floor, adds another digital generation to the track (possibly degrading the sound slightly), and really does nothing that a fader on a mixer doesn't already do.
Compression, on the other hand, has the potential to change the dynamic range of a track, and also to "color" the track by allow changes to the attack and decay of the sound.
The level of a song to our ears is dependant on the frequency content of the song (along with the overall track level), which means that it's not simply a matter of making all the song's peaks to hit 0 to make the songs sound similar in volume.

These two tracks' meteoric rise on this chart ("Hung up" shot to #2 in its second week) is the exception, not the norm.
The nine tracks have zero airplay on 1,028 BDS-monitored radio stations, but they logged a total of 341,000 downloads, led by 82,000 for "Breaking Free." Three more tracks place in the top 10 on Hot Digital Songs.

But apparently a lot of Coldplay fans were early onto the digital bandwagon; "The Scientist," a Coldplay song that missed the Hot 100 entirely, was ranked at #24 on that first Digital Tracks chart.
Sales of digital singles grew quickly, though it's impossible to gauge how much of that growth was due to the lawsuits and how much was inevitable as the technology and word-of-mouth spread.
At first, probably not much; if digital singles this year are doing about as well as physical singles were last year, it may be awhile before a song like "I Fought the Law" has enough online impact to become a hit on the Hot 100.

Despite another triple digit percent surge in music downloads, CD sales are still tops in the music industry.
The news is encouraging for the digital music downloads industry, however technology and distribution executives at the major labels criticize the surge of downloads during Christmas week being due to gift vouchers.
However, a similar drop in the first week of 2006 would put the tally at 16 million per week, which could put 2006 as the first year to surpass the 1 billion mark in legal music downloads in one year.

With Mariah relinquishing the #1 spot on Hot 100 Airplay to Kanye this week it would seem virtually impossible for her to challenge him for the #1 spot on the Hot 100 in the coming weeks.
This is because the song wasn't available at digital outlets during the tracking week and because of that it couldn't generate enough points to debut on the Hot 100.
While Mariah was unable to replace herself atop the Hot 100 she did achieve this on the Hot 100 Airplay chart, the second time in her career.

 Digital music's path to profitability - Nov. 25, 2003
Napster proved in the late 1990s that consumer demand for it exists, and the music industry is finally loosening the reins enough that its licensing terms are no longer a slap in the face of consumers.
The terms under which companies can distribute digital music, however, are costly enough to prevent profits in the short term.
In the long term, digital downloads will become profitable, and their need to serve as loss leaders will diminish.
