The weekly Hot 100 Songwriters and Hot 100 Producers charts are based on the total points accumulated by a songwriter and producer, respectively, for each attributed song appearing on the Hot 100; Furthermore, the lists of genre producers and composers follow the same methodology based on the corresponding genre lists with the name “Hot”. The same as BillboardIn annual summaries, multiple writers or producers divide points for each song equally (and the division of points will lead to occasional ties in the ratings).
