Rolling Stone charts

The Rolling Stone charts tabulated the relative weekly popularity of songs and albums in the United States.

Chart data was powered by analytics firm Alpha Data (formerly BuzzAngle Music) and results were published on the website of pop culture magazine Rolling Stone, both of which are properties of the United States–based Penske Media Corporation (PMC).

Alpha Data is owned by the parent company of Rolling Stone, Penske Media Corporation, which had fully acquired the magazine at the start of 2019.

[6] The Rolling Stone charts followed a Friday-Thursday tracking week, based on the Eastern Time Zone in the United States and consistent with the industry standard of releasing new music on Fridays since Global Release Day on July 10, 2015.

Bundled sales (for example, with concert tickets or merchandise) are considered valid so long as the product listing specifically states that the album is included with the purchase; sales are logged upon redemption of a digital download code or fulfillment of a physical order.

A song's position was determined by streams and purchases, and excludes "passive listening" including radio play.

[7][8] The first number-one song on the Rolling Stone Top 100 was "Old Town Road" by Lil Nas X on June 27, 2019.

The Rolling Stone Trending 25 compiled the 25 songs with the greatest growth in the United States.

The Rolling Stone Breakthrough 25 compiled the 25 artists with the greatest growth in the United States.
