Questions people ask about Billboard

What is Billboard?

Billboard is a music industry publication best known for its weekly charts, which have served as the standard scoreboard for American music for decades. Its two flagship charts are the Hot 100 for songs and the Billboard 200 for albums, and chart records are treated as career milestones by artists and labels.

How does the Billboard Hot 100 work?

The Hot 100 ranks the most popular songs in the United States each week by blending streaming activity, radio airplay and sales into a single score. A song's position moves week to week as those numbers shift. Debuts, peaks and weeks at number one are the stats artists and fans cite most.

What is the difference between the Hot 100 and the Billboard 200?

The Hot 100 ranks individual songs while the Billboard 200 ranks albums, counting sales along with streaming converted into album equivalent units. One release can dominate both at once. Pop Smoke's debut album opened at number 1 on the Billboard 200 in July 2020 while all 19 of its tracks charted on the Hot 100.

Who owns Billboard?

Billboard is operated by Penske Media Corporation, the media group that also runs titles like Rolling Stone and Variety. The publication dates back to 1894, when it began as a trade paper, before evolving into the chart authority it is known as today.
