In celebration of The Billboard Hot 100's 55th birthday, they have constructed an All Time Top 100 Songs list. This list only features songs that charted on the Hot 100, and they are ranked by an inverse point system. This means that a song gets 100 points for every week spent at number 1 and vice versa, gets 1 point for every week spent at number 100. Since different eras of the chart had different chart rules, some songs were weighted differently to account for turnover rates over various periods.
