Billboard is the quintessential music magazine for America.  It is the barometer of musical tastes and has produced the Top 100 singles since 1958.  Wow, these guys have pedigree, but does their website have class?

Pretty ladies

Billboard may have been launched back in the nineteenth century (yes really!) but it has certainly embraced the modern phenomenon of music social networking sites.

Here you can hear the selections of artists, DJs and music reviewers delivered to you daily, listen to the playlists of friends and find out about the recommendations of others who like the same sounds as you.

Billboard allows you to connect with a buzzing music community and take you on a journey of discovery.
