Get ready to groove because Billboard Philippines is making waves in the music scene like never before
From its very inception, Billboard has been the holy grail of music charts and the ultimate champion of artists. With a rich history dating back to the 19th century, Billboard has been a reliable compass, guiding music lovers through the ever-changing landscape of melodies and rhythms.
A history like no other
Founded in 1894, Billboard initially started as a simple trade magazine for the outdoor advertising industry. But soon, it found its true calling in the world of music, evolving into the powerhouse we know today. The first music chart, Billboard’s Sheet Music Best Sellers, was introduced in 1913, and there was no looking back.
Now, fast forward to the digital age, Billboard is not just a chart-topping platform, but also a driving force behind the success of countless artists worldwide. With their finger on the pulse of music trends, it continues to provide a stage for both established musicians and aspiring talents, ensuring that no hidden gem goeis lefts unnoticed.
Localizing Billboard for the Filipinos
