2008


The Top 150 hits of… 2008

A few artists were still holding out on or experimenting with the digital medium in 2008. Kid Rock declined to put his material on iTunes at the time. So his big hit that year, “All Summer Long” was on the chart on the basis of airplay alone. The market stepped in to fill the void left by the absence of a digital single and two cover versions of the song made the chart, one after the other, on the strength of their sales, for a total of 20 weeks. I combined the points from the original and the covers to determine the placement of “All Summer Long” here (#56). The song was among the top 30 most played of the year and would likely have done the same on the combined chart had a digital single been available.

There were also 3 weeks in which “American Boy” by Estelle was removed from iTunes and a cover version made the chart. The nine points from that version’s 3 weeks didn’t make a difference in the song’s placement here (#42).
