Rolling Stone will begin publishing its own music charts beginning next Monday, in a challenge to the longtime leader in the field, Billboard magazine.

 

The new “Rolling Stone Charts” will encompass the top 100 singles and the top 200 albums in the U.S.. the singles chart will be updated daily instead of weekly. The lists are also expected to incorporate more information on streaming and offer more transparency about how the rankings are derived. Rolling Stone is hoping that those innovations will help it muscle onto turf that Billboard has ruled for decades

The new charts will rely on data from analytics firm BuzzAngle Music, which was founded in 2013 and launched in 2016. PMC made a strategic investment in the company last year. Among other features, BuzzAngle tracks daily sales, streaming and airplay of songs, artists and albums.

 

Three other weekly charts that will launch Monday are the Rolling Stone Artist 500, ranking the most-streamed artists; the Rolling Stone Trending 25, a list of the fastest-moving songs based on a number of metrics; and the Rolling Stone Breakthrough 25, which will look at artists who have entered the charted for the first time.

The devil works hard, but BuzzAngle works harder!

Person 1: [fave] went number one on RS100, the better chart.

Person 2: Come back when they went number one for a full week.  Single day hits don’t count.

This is probably why BB stepped up their game with a global chart.

The singles chart being updated daily actually sounds like a great idea and actually reflective of what songs are big

Next up: P4K to launch its own chart, but only allowing tracks they deem worthy to appear.

And yet, Billboard will remain the only one that truly matters.

But it’s great that people can get daily updates. I hope BuzzAngle continues to do weekly predictions via HDD.

 

in before Adele gets dragged for selling 2M in one day but “only” 500K the next day :lmao:

But they are incorporating radio play it seems? That’d be interesting, as you’d need to have a formula that balances that well

 

Intriguing :celestial5:

As if we needed more charts and numbers to measure success lol

Everything is quantified already. Mess.

The good news is Billboard is **** for years....so this might be good.

The charts are just too much right now. And with people listening mostly in their own music bubble with car bluetooth and all that, just end them all :rip:
