TheBillboard Japan Hot 100 is arecord chart in Japan for songs. It has been compiled byBillboard Japan andHanshin Contents Link since February 2008.[1] The chart is updated every Wednesday at Billboard-japan.com (JST) and every Thursday at Billboard.com (UTC).
The first number-one song on the chart was "Stay Gold" byHikaru Utada on the issue dated January 16, 2008.[2] The first number-one song on the chart by a non-Japanese artist was "Bleeding Love" byLeona Lewis in the issue dated April 30, 2008.[3] The current number-one on the chart as of the issue dated November 19, 2025, is "Iris Out" byKenshi Yonezu.[4]
From the chart's inception in 2008, to December 2010, the chart combinedCD single sales data fromSoundScan Japan, tracking sales at physical stores across Japan, and radio airplay figures from Japan's then 32 AM and FM radio stations sourced from the Japanese company Plantech.[5] In December 2010, the chart expanded to include sales from online stores, as well as sales fromiTunes Japan.[5] From December 2013,Billboard incorporated more digital music stores (such asRecochoku andMora) into the chart.[6]Billboard also added two additional factors: tweets relating to songs fromTwitter data collected byNTT DATA, as well as data sourced fromGracenote on the number of times a CDs has been registered as being inserted into a computer.[6] In May 2015, the chart began to include both on-demand streams and YouTube views.[7] Finally, in November 2018, the chart began to include karaoke plays in its formula.[8] In December 2022, the Twitter and Gracenote metrics were removed from the chart.[9]
From December 7, 2016, onwards,Billboard Japan teamed up withGfK Japan to distribute digital sales of each track on the Hot 100 chart (between the positions of number one to number 50) to the public. The companies will distribute the sales from over 3,900 digital stores nationwide, alongside streaming services with Apple Music, Awa and Line Music, which will commence in 2017 and will be recognized as points (similar toalbum-equivalent sales).[10] In June 2025,Billboard Japan introduced the recurrent rule for Japan Hot 100, alongside theHot Albums, applying for songs that chart more than 52 weeks. It effected on the chart week of June 4, 2025.[11]
