What Billboard is, and how to follow its charts and news
Billboard has ranked what people actually listen to since long before streaming existed. Here's what the publication covers, and how to get its articles — or just one artist's — in Telegram.
What Billboard actually is
Billboard is an American music-industry publication that has been reporting on the business since 1894. It is best known for its weekly charts: the Hot 100 for songs, which combines streaming, sales and radio airplay, and the Billboard 200 for albums, alongside dozens of genre and regional charts.
Around the charts sits the newsroom — release announcements, tour news, label and industry moves, awards coverage and interviews. For anyone following an artist seriously, a Billboard piece is often where a chart debut or a tour date is confirmed first.
Following Billboard in Veentry
Billboard is one of the lifestyle sources Veentry watches, alongside Vogue, WWD and others. Search for it, tap Follow, and new articles reach you in Telegram as they are published — no site visit, no newsletter, no algorithmic feed deciding what you see.
Following a whole publication is the broad option, and it suits anyone who reads the music business generally rather than one corner of it.
Or follow just the artist
If you only care about a few names, follow the artists instead of the outlet. Veentry then filters the same coverage down to the people you picked, so a chart run or an album announcement reaches you and the rest of the week's music news doesn't.
