Billboard Hot 100 Year-End Chart 2007


Billboard's year-end charts are out this week. Topping the Hot 100 for 2007 is Beyoncé with "Irreplaceable." The single spent 10 weeks at #1 early in the Billboard chart year, which runs from the beginning of December 2006 to the end of November 2007. Beyoncé appeared in the year-end top 10 in 2003 at #4 with her first solo #1, "Crazy in Love" and last year at #10 with "Check on It." As a member of Destiny's Child she's appeared twice, at #6 in 2000 for "Say My Name" and #10 in 2001 for "Independent Women Part 1." She also appears this year at #62 with Shakira on "Beautiful Liar."
Here's this year's top 10:
1. Irreplaceable - Beyoncé (#1, 10 wks)
2. Umbrella - Rihanna Featuring Jay-Z (#1, 7 wks)
3. The Sweet Escape - Gwen Stefani Featuring Akon (#2, 1 wk)
4. Big Girls Don't Cry - Fergie (#1, 1 wk)
5. Buy U a Drank (Shawty Snappin') - T-Pain Featuring Young Joc (#1, 1 wk)
6. Before He Cheats - Carrie Underwood (#8)
7. Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's (#1, 2 wks)
8. I Wanna Love You - Akon Featuring Snoop Dogg (#1, 2 wks)
9. Say It Right - Nelly Furtado (#1, 1 wk)
10. Glamorous - Fergie Featuring Will.I.Am (#1, 2 wks)
Fergie and Akon each appear twice within the top 10, and Akon was close to getting a third (his "Don't Matter" is #11). Fergie also appears at #19 with "Fergalicious," while Akon also appears at #15 with "Smack That" and #33 on T-Pain's "Bartender," giving him five entries total. Two artists tie for the most entires on the chart, with seven each. T-Pain is at #5 and #33 mentioned above plus #49 on R. Kelly or Bow Wow's "I'm a Flirt," #60 on Plies' "Shawty," #84 on Baby Bash's "Cyclone," #88 on Bow Wow's "Outta My System," and #93 on Chris Brown's "Kiss Kiss." It's notable that he's a guest on six of his seven entries. Justin Timberlake also has seven hits on the chart, at #21 on Timbaland's "Give It to Me," #22 "What Goes Around...Comes Around," #26 "My Love," #39 "Summer Love," #63 "Sexyback," #87 on 50 Cent's "Ayo Technology," and #96 "Lovestoned." Carrie Underwood scores the rare and impressive feat of landing higher in the year-end survey (#6) than she ever actually did during the year (#8), owing to her single's amazing chart longevity.
