Billboard is an American weekly magazine and a list specializing in information about the music industry.

 

It is also one of the oldest specialized magazines in the world and maintains several internationally recognized music charts, in which the most popular songs and albums are found, classified in various categories. The most famous list, “Billboard Hot 100”, ranks the top 100 songs regardless of the musical genre they belong to, based on physical, digital, streaming and radio airplay sales. The "Billboard 200" is a list of the 200 best-selling music albums in the United States and the Billboard Global 200 is the weekly Music Hit List and is the pioneering magazine of the music industry in the world.

 

Founded in 1894, it originally reported on circus events, carnival celebrations, fairs, festivals and amusement parks, but the musical theme was expanded to such an extent that, in the fifties, the other themes were separated and published in an independent magazine.
