Billboard chart adds in download stats

The Billboard Hot 100 now includes legitimate download sales, with Mario staying at number one and Green Day's Boulevard of Broken Dreams climbing to number four.

Staying with chart type news for a minute, and the main US singles chart, the Billboard Hot 100, has added legitimate download sales into the mix, meaning they now calculate the biggest singles of the moment based on record sales, radio airplay and downloads.

Still, Mario stayed at the top of the chart with 'Let Me Love

You’ for the seventh week, even with digital sales added into the mix. Then again download stats helped Green Day’s

'Boulevard of Broken Dreams’ speed up the chart from 11 to 4, so that new system sounds good to me.
