The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing singles of the United States. Its data, published by Billboard magazine and compiled by Nielsen SoundScan, is based collectively on each single's weekly physical and digital sales, as well as airplay and streaming. At the end of a year, Billboard will publish an annual list of the 100 most successful songs throughout that year on the Hot 100 chart based on the information.[1] For 2019, the list was published on December 5, calculated with data from November 24, 2018 to November 16, 2019.

"Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X featuring Billy Ray Cyrus, the best-performing single of 2019, broke the record for the most weeks spent at number one by any song in Billboard Hot 100 history, at eighteen weeks [a nineteenth was clocked before the Billy Ray Cyrus remix was released, and thus was credited only to Lil Nas X].[1]
