| @Dan_Supreme: As mentioned in the note at the top of the page, the 25 songs are Billboard's top songs from 2010. Specifically, from the period Dec 1, 2009 to Dec 1, 2010 on the Hot 100 chart, which in turn is determined by a combination of sales and airplay. So, yes, in many cases the songs were released in late 2009 and stayed on the charts for a good long part of this year. Because radio stations keep playing songs longer, they stay on the charts longer and older tracks tend to dominate the year-end lists. |
