Billboard
The music industry's charts, business news and artist coverage
About
Billboard has tracked the music industry's charts since 1894, and that institutional role, the actual Billboard Hot 100 and Billboard 200, is what gives its newsletter weight that most music coverage doesn't have: this is where the numbers that define commercial success in music actually come from.
Beyond the charts, it covers the business side of music: label deals, touring economics, streaming royalty disputes, artist business moves. It's aimed at industry readers and serious music-business followers more than casual fans looking for album reviews.
