The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing songs in the United States. Its data is compiled by Luminate Data and published by American music magazine Billboard . The chart is based on each song's weekly physical and digital sales collectively, the amount of airplay impressions it receives on American radio stations, and its audio and video streams on online digital music platforms.
"Last Night" by American country singer Morgan Wallen is the year's longest-running number-one song on the Hot 100 in 2023, having spent sixteen weeks at the top spot; [1] it subsequently topped the Billboard Year-End Hot 100. [2] "Flowers" by American singer Miley Cyrus is the longest running number-one by a female artist, ruling the Hot 100 for eight weeks. [3] "Paint the Town Red" by Doja Cat became the first rap song to top the Hot 100 in over a year. [note 1] American singer Brenda Lee became the oldest artist of all time to reach number one on the Hot 100 (age 78), when "Rockin' Around the Christmas Tree" (1958) topped the chart in December 2023; concurrently, the song also became the third holiday single to top the Hot 100 [note 2] and it broke the record for longest climb to the top spot of the Hot 100 since release (65 years), surpassing Mariah Carey's 1994 single "All I Want for Christmas Is You" (25 years). [5]
Twenty artists charted at number one in 2023, with ten―Wallen, Jimin, SZA, Jungkook, Latto, Jason Aldean, Oliver Anthony, Zach Bryan, Kacey Musgraves and J. Cole―reaching the top spot for the first time. SZA and Drake charted two number-one songs this year, whereas Taylor Swift became the first artist in history to chart three number-one songs from three different albums on the Hot 100 in one calendar year. [note 3] Swift's "Is It Over Now?" (2023) dethroned her own "Cruel Summer" (2023) at number one on the chart dated November 11, 2023, [6] and the vice versa occurred the next week, making Swift the first woman to replace herself at the top spot two and three times. She was the first ever artist to replace themselves three times on the Hot 100 in history. [note 4] Four country songs—Wallen's "Last Night", Aldean's "Try That in a Small Town", Anthony's "Rich Men North of Richmond", and "I Remember Everything" by Bryan and Musgraves—held the number-one spot on the Hot 100 in consecutive weeks for the first time ever.

The Digital Songs or Digital Song Sales chart ranks the best-selling digital songs in the United States, as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan and published by Billboard magazine. Although it originally started tracking song sales the week of October 30, 2004, it officially debuted in the issue dated January 22, 2005, and merged all versions of a song sold from digital music distributors. Its data was incorporated in the Hot 100 three weeks later. Since October 2004, digital sales have been incorporated into many of Billboard's music singles charts. The decision was based on the dramatic increase of the digital market while commercial single sales in a physical format were becoming negligible.
The Radio Songs chart is released weekly by Billboard magazine and measures the airplay of songs being played on radio stations throughout the United States across all musical genres. It is one of the three components, along with sales and streaming activity, that determine the chart positions of songs on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Streaming Songs chart is released weekly by Billboard magazine and lists each week's top streamed radio songs, on-demand songs and videos on leading online music services in the United States.

The Billboard Global 200 is a weekly record chart published by Billboard magazine. The chart ranks the top songs globally and is based on digital sales and online streaming from over 200 territories worldwide. First announced in mid-2019, it officially launched in September 2020.
"Flowers" is a song by American singer Miley Cyrus from her eighth studio album Endless Summer Vacation (2023). Columbia Records released it as the album's lead single on January 12, 2023, in some countries and on January 13 worldwide. Cyrus wrote "Flowers" with Gregory "Aldae" Hein and Michael Pollack, while Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson handled the production. A pop song with disco, rock, and funk influences, its lyrics express an ex-lover's acceptance of being independent after no longer feeling the need to rely on someone else to be complete.
