The Hot Digital Songs chart ranks the best-selling digital singles in the United States, as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan and published by Billboard. It debuted in the issue dated January 22, 2005, and merged all versions of a song sold from digital music distributors.[1] Its data was incorporated in the Hot 100 two weeks later.

Since October 2004, digital sales have been incorporated into many of Billboard's music single charts.[2] It was decided to do so mainly because of the dramatic rise in popularity of the digital market while commercial single sales were becoming negligible.[3] The chart's current number one as of the issue dated June 1, 2013, is "Can't Hold Us" by Macklemore and Ryan Lewis featuring Ray Dalton.[4]
