There's a new look for Billboard!
I personally love it. The charts seemes messy at first..but you just have to get used to it!
The best in music just got a whole lot better.
Along with our fully revamped glossy magazine, our newly-launched iPad app, and a refresh of our business-focused Billboard.biz, we are excited to unveil the brand-new Billboard.com, which takes a bold step forward in its evolution today.
With dynamic new features and functionalities behind every click, the rethought Billboard.com leads the essential conversation about the best in music in more powerful and engaging ways than ever before.
