Hot 100 Singles Recurrents
Hot 100 Singles Recurrents is a music chart published weekly by Billboard magazine. This chart ranks singles that have reached Billboard recurrent criteria. Billboard describes a Hot 100 recurrent as a song which has spent twenty weeks on the Hot 100 and has fallen below position fifty. The scope of this chart is to highlight songs that continue to receive significant airplay on U.S. radio stations well past their peak in mainstream popularity, while keeping the turnover of the main Hot 100 chart as fresh and current as possible.
Exceptions are sometimes made, usually on a case-by-case basis. Occasionally an older song is re-released (for example, featured on a current movie soundtrack and given a renewed promotional push from a record label) or a song can take an extended amount of time to climb to position fifty. Billboard chart managers ultimately make the decision about which songs can remain on the Hot 100 in such cases.
