News: Billboard ranks top 100 songs in hot rap songs chart's history

"Billboard" is celebrating the 25th anniversary of its Hot Rap Songs chart by listing the top 100 hip-hop songs of the chart's history.The 25th Anniversary Hot Rap Songs ranking is based on actual performance on the weekly Hot Rap Songs chart, since the chart’s inception in the March 11, 1989, issue. Rankings are based on an inverse point system, with weeks at No. 1 having the greatest value and weeks at lower positions proportionately less. Due to various changes in chart rules, chart length and methodology throughout the years, songs had varying reigns at No. 1 and on the chart. To ensure equitable representation of the biggest hits from all 25 years, certain time frames were weighted to account for the difference in turnover rates from those periods.

From 1 to 100, here we go:

1. 'Thrift Shop' - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Wanz, 2013

2. 'Tootsee Roll' - 69 Boyz, 1994
3. 'Hot Boyz' - Missy "Misdemeanor" Elliott feat. Nas, Eve & Q-Tip, 1999
4. 'Can't Hold Us' - Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton, 2013
