Billboard becomes relevant again

By Ryan G

The Billboard Hot 100, arguably the main music industry benchmark for the overall success of a music single, is finally factoring music streaming and subscriptions into its calculations – per this article on Hypebot.  A bit late, perhaps, but its a sign of the times that this entity seems to finally be on board.  A full list of added services (from the article) includes:

  • Spotify
  • Rhapsody (author’s note: people still use this? why didn’t Billboard add this five years ago when it first became popular?)
  • Rdio
  • Slacker
  • Cricket’s Murve Music
  • MOG

Good list, just missing Pandora and iHeartRadio.
