Maybe it's to encourage me to subscribe.

Relatedly, Sigur Ros debuted at 27, which surprised me.

I know! The absence of that kind of explication/excoriation is really the final straw.

I guess this was a roundabout way of asking if anybody knows of a more peppy way to access the billboard chart than thru the billboard.com website.

Any thoughts?

six years pass...

Might as well revive this thread:

Billboard Magazine is bleeding top talent, with publisher Lisa Ryan Howard and editor-in-chief Danyel Smith handing in their walking papers, TheWrap has learned.

In addition, deputy editor Lou Hau and other high-level staffers have exited the music industry's leading trade, according to sources close to the publication.

According to those individuals, Billboard is in the process of cutting costs, including shedding its reviews. This has produced low morale, and prompted these exits.

there is no place i aspire to write for these days more than Billboard, so maybe if they keep lowering their bar it'll be low enough for me sooner or later

it's a trade paper, you're occasionally going to see things that look like they belong in a trade paper

I'm pretty sure I've seen this exact feature in print magazines too, it's a perennial page-filler type thing, just looks weird online in picscroll format

yeah...i subscribe to a radio industry pub and they have "what song are you excited about" check-ins with program directors like every week.

back on (off?) topic: idk if it's just a korean IP thing or something but i lately haven't been able to get a noisey article, on desktop or mobile, to load past the headline in less than 30 seconds. been this way for months
