History

The Digital Track Chart was established in 2006 and first published on April 9. Later that year in October it was announced that the sales from physical singles and digital downloads would be integrated with the official Top 100 singles chart which commenced on October 8. In order for the digital singles to chart on the Top 100 there had to be a physical single release first but in 2007 it was announced that a single would chart on the Top 100 regardless of whether a physical single or a digital single was released first or not.
