The Billboard Hot 100 is a chart that ranks the best-performing singles of the United States. Its data, compiled by Nielsen SoundScan and published by Billboard magazine, is based collectively on each single's weekly physical and digital sales, as well as airplay and streaming.
During 2015, eight singles reached number one on the Hot 100; a ninth single, "Blank Space" by Taylor Swift, began its run at number one in November 2014.{{Cite magazine|url=http://www.billboard.com/articles/columns/chart-beat/6320061/taylor-swift-blank-space-hot-100|magazine=Billboard|title=Taylor Swift Makes Hot 100 History With 'Blank Space'|first=Gary|last=Trust|date=2014-11-19|access-date=2014-11-19}} Of those nine number-one singles, three were collaborations.
