The **first-ever No. 1 atop On-Demand Songs** belongs to fun. and its anthemic hit "**We Are Young," featuring Janelle Monae**, with a total of 1.1 million streams, according to Nielsen BDS. The track also tops the re-formatted Billboard Hot 100 for a second consecutive week.

The plays tracked for the On-Demand Songs chart include streams and tethered downloads by both paying and free/trial tier users. Through the first 70 days of 2012, Nielsen BDS has captured more than 4.5\. billion audio streams.

The **new Hot 100 chart formula,** in addition to tracking terrestrial radio and track sales, will now also include the streaming data that makes up the On-Demand Songs chart, as well as non-demand radio streams from Rhapsody and Slacker. It will also measure plays on video request service Akoo and audio on-demand streams from MySpace and Guvera. Yahoo! radio streams and Yahoo! on-demand video plays, which were already part of the Hot 100 formula, will continue to contribute.
