Hi Bill, what are your thoughts on P!nk's place in the pop scene? The popular opinion on ATRL is that she has no impact or influence and is largely forgotten, that she's an artist no one thinks about when they switch off the radio...and yet she continues to outsell and outperform most of her peers with ease.

The only good question of these past few pages.

I'm thinking there might need to be more set rules on how many questions are allowed omfg. .

Also, I must ask, do you think Justin Timberlake releasing a part II to The 20/20 Experience only 7 months after the first is a bad move commercially, considering part I still had some general hype and had a few songs that could've become hits (such as "Tunnel Vision", "Don't Hold The Wall", "Pusher Love Girl", ect)?

seriously, im only humbled by the credibility and authority Billboard has developed - and the industry and artists have granted - over 118+ years. i wake up every day and try to do that legacy justice.

Serve a biT!

No problem. It's a privilege to have a higher up in the music business be there to answer questions out of his own time, so we can deal going without those answers for a while.

Hey Bill! Do you like Rihanna? If so, what's your favorite song and album by her?

Bill, considering Justin Timberlake's videography, do you think Timberlake is deserving of
The MTV Video Vanguard Award on August 25? There's been quite some talk about it.

Eh. Amazing songs. But videos? Kinda hard to make the case, no?

cant predict yet. too much time and planned activity between now and album. but the album appears to be pre-ordering a little more slowly than i might have expected, based on the instant grat stats that are being compiled as part of first week single sales totals.

Hey Bill, nice to meet ya, I am a big fan for you, I wish I could have your job, greetings from Venezuela

Do you think the digital era has peaked, since overall digital single sales have been decreasing compared to last year? Or it's just 2012 was full of huge digital monsters (Call Me Maybe, We Are Young and Somebody That I Used To Know)?

I was actually curious as to a statistical stand point who the most current successful girl in pop was. I'm not sure why my question was removed.

Edit: It wasn't removed. Sorry for the confusion.
