Billboard & Twitter Partner Up To Create A Chart For Most Talked About Songs

Billboard and Twitter announced a new chart that will track the hottest songs based on how much it’s being talked about or trending online. “The Billboard Hot Trending powered by Twitter” chart will monitor conversations and trends related to music such as award shows, festivals, threads, video & album releases.

Unlike the past billboard charts, the new chart doesn’t focus on what people are listening to but rather it focuses on what they are talking about. The new groundbreaking chart will update every 24 hours to stay up to date with the hottest music trends from all over the world.

Billboard has been the industry’s indicator for what’s hot for over 50 years but in this new digital world where social currency matters, it’ll be interesting to see the effects of this partnership.
