Billboard Reviews

Want to know if your favorite artist has gone platinum yet, or what the hot albums are on the Internet? Then join the ranks of people who for years have been turning to Billboard for the inside scoop on the music industry. The weekly offers thorough news coverage, scads of charts (personally, we're partial to the Billboard Top 200 U.S. albums and Heatseekers countdowns), artist profiles, upcoming album release dates, and so much more we'd need to draw a couple of breaths to list it all. Billboard isn't afraid to push buttons, either, as they often turn to execs and insiders to pen biting op-ed pieces on the issues du jour--from MP3 file sharing to the effects of record company shakeups. To round out their already considerable offering, Billboard also provides the lowdown on the video and home entertainment industries. So if you want to know who's currently No. 1, and who's ready to climb the charts, turn to Billboard . --Arno Kazarian
