Billboard publishes annual lists of songs based on chart performance over the course of a year based on
Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems and
SoundScan information. For 2010, the list for the top 100
Billboard Hot 100Year-End songs was published on December 8, calculated with data from December 5, 2009 to November 27, 2010. At the number-one position was
Kesha's "
Tik Tok", which stayed atop the Hot 100 for nine weeks. This achievement made Kesha the first female artist in the history of the chart to top the Year-End Hot 100 with a debut single.[1]
The list is also notable for being one of five Billboard Year-End lists that featured 14 songs that appeared in the previous year (in this case
2009's) repeat onto to this list. The highest being
Jay Z's "
Empire State of Mind", which made it on to 2009's list at number 62 and repeat higher at number 21 in 2010's. Only four other year-end lists repeat the same feat, that being
1997,
2016,
2018 and
2022.
