2004

The Top 150 Hits of… 2004

Single sales continued to decline in 2004. Fantasia’s post-Idol finale track, “I Believe,” was the top selling physical single and it didn’t even go gold. I tacked it on the end at #150 being that it was #1 for a week and it’s one of those I-need-more-information-to-know-where-it-should-really-go songs.

Billboard started tracking digital download sales in mid 2003, but that information wasn’t used for the Hot 100 until Feb. 2005. We’ll see the effects of that on the next list.
