This list compiles the best-selling singles in the United States, based on reported sales figures. Some of the singles have been certified by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). In music, a single is a song considered commercially viable enough by the artist and record company to be released separately from an album, usually featured on an album as well. For more information, see single.

Physical singles

All of these physical singles have sold over four million copies according to either reliable third-party claims or RIAA multi-platinum certifications.

Digital singles

See also: a comprehensive list of the highest-certified singles at RIAA's website. Manually adjust it to platinum awards filter, single format, and digital type. The below singles have sold at least 6 million digital copies as reported by Luminate (or previously Nielsen SoundScan). Sales figures are not fully represented by RIAA certifications, which have included on-demand streaming-equivalent units since May 2013. Thus the actual sales figures will be different from the amounts specified by the RIAA.
