Rolling Stone just launched its very own Rolling Stone Charts.
In an effort to rival Billboard, Rolling Stone Charts includes 100 top singles and 200 top albums in the US. Instead of solely weekly updates, Rolling Stone refreshes some charts on a daily basis, offering the industry an up-to-date and unprecedented charting experience.
In addition to the traditional charts, the Rolling Stone Artist 500 ranks the most-streamed artists at the moment. The Rolling Stone Trending 25 tracks the biggest trending songs. The Rolling Stone Breakthrough 25 features first-time charting artists.
Rolling Stone offers a brief description of each chart below:
