I love these random swoop downs.

Best of luck with your new endeavors, Bill!

Ooopa

Guess all those Katy vs. Gaga articles didn't do anything at the end eh BIll?

[mariahcarey]

Change the rules

[lawmak]

Well..I liked Bill..he was into the industry completely..but this lady Min..she has been a longtime editor of US Weekly..I guess she'll surprise us up!

[superben]

Well, Bill was cool.

[Lose My Breath]

Bill was amazing, Janice has BIG shoes to fill and I'm not sure she can do it.

Bill was different, he is the type of guy to change music...

But point taken. I'll go back to the lighter fluffier Stan wars and try not to use this thread as my go to for insomnia.

Off to bed. Good night, bichiz.

Music whether editorial or literal is different, it's important to connect with your audience and Bill did that, he genuinely cares about music as much as we do.

[Princedele21]

About time.

[Smooth]

Hope this is for the best!
Also,Bill's atrl presence was kinda useless. He answered stupid questions whether he likes this or that artist, but he avoided questions about radio deals being the same as payola. In fact i recall someone saying he was threadbanned because he asked those kind of questions.

[Marq]

Aw, Bill. I thought he was great.

I'm not being closed minded. This is a 40 yr old man on a message board full of mostly teenage, self-hating, racist, *****.

He may end up on To Catch a Predator. I'm just trying to help him. But HE can do whatever the hell he pleases. I think it looks corny as hell though. If I was in charge of running a million dollar magazine and business you wouldn't DARE catch my ass HERE trying to "connect" with gotdamn stans, the most irrational people on Earth. But do you Bill, do you.

Why are you here if you dislike the people so much?

[muddysquirrel]

I will miss you sister Bill.

This new boss better be The Lord fan and help us snatch more country accolades with pop songs.

personal bias will (unfortunately) always have an underhand influence in politics, music/showbiz (awards), sports (BCS positions anyone?) etc. people mostly tend to notice when their faves are getting screwed over because of it. How many Taylor Swift and or Rihanna fans were complaining about the new chart rules for R&B + Country genres benefitting their fave?!

I'm not here for bias either, not even if it benefits my faves. Cause that **** will come back and bite them in the ass, I think y'all's have seen that's exactly the case with gaga.

As a Rihanna fan I'm going to step in and say that it DID bother me. I don't feel like Rih's success should get in the way of people like Miguel, J. Cole, etc. getting their deserved #1 hits on the genre charts. I would like my fave and others to be treated fairly. As long as Rih is killing the hot 100 on her own merits I'm happy.

This. The genre chart change, along with streaming having so much power (especially from unrelated videos) will remain the big stain of Bill's time as editor.


Also hoping for no more of those fanboy articles about certain pop girl(s) with a shopping list of excuses. That was annoying.

[Nialler]

Y'all laughed when Angela Cheng posted the rumour that he would soon stop being the head of BB. I wonder how she got that tea, her reign just won't let up

[EdgeOfAddiction]

All good things must come to an end. Bill did all he could to change the music scene, imo. But now focus needs to be put back onto Billboard for that publication to last another 100 years. Janice will do a great job. The Hollywood Reporter has gotten so great over the past couple years.

They love using this world a bit too much. Only NY.

All you gals know is GRINDR & Popstars.
And ya'll trying to drag Bill for being 40 but most of the moderators on this damn site are around that damn age.

Now fill out a fucking job application.

To adapt to the changing music industry, Billboard has expanded its coverage into the periphery of technology, advertising and branding — the source of more and more of the money in music since sales have plunged. It has also developed an extensive business in industry conferences, and licenses its name to various businesses, including a concert hall in Tokyo.

Now waiT!

I'm starting to think Angela is someone legit in disguise to scalp pop stars because he/she does not want their reputation ruined.
