Hot Rap Songs (formerly known as
Hot Rap Tracks and
Hot Rap Singles) is a chart released weekly by
Billboard in the
United States. It lists the 25 most popular
hip-hop/rap songs, calculated weekly by airplay on rhythmic and
urban radio stations and sales in hip hop-focused or exclusive markets. Streaming data and digital downloads were added to the methodology of determining chart rankings in 2012. From 1989 through 2001, it was based on how much the single sold in that given week. The most weeks at number one was "
Hot Boyz" by
Missy Elliott featuring
Nas,
Eve and
Q-Tip, and "
Fancy" by
Iggy Azalea and
Charli XCX, singles that were number one for 18 weeks from December 1999 to March 2000 and May 2014 to August 2014.
