About Us
The world's premier music publication, Billboard has served the entertainment business since 1894. Beginning as a weekly for the billposting and advertising business, Billboard and its popular music charts have evolved into the primary source of information on trends and innovation in music, serving music fans, artists, top executives, tour promoters, publishers, radio programmers, lawyers, retailers, digital entrepreneurs and many others.

Launched in 1995 as Billboard Online, Billboard.com now attracts ten million unique visitors each month in more than 100 countries and has become the de facto digital destination for popular music.
