10 FIRST-TIMERS ALONG WITH JISOO, AND SAM BAKER MADE IT TO THE BILLBOARD CHART THIS WEEK
The dream of every artist is to make it to the Billboard. Billboard has 200+ charts and there is a constant rush of artists and their albums on and off the charts. Billboard Hot 100 is for the most popular songs of the week and Billboard is for the most popular album of the week and it is often the A-list artists that appear on these charts.
But when we talk about the upcoming artists and their talent, the billboard provides them a place on the genre-specific list to start off with, and every week numerous artists’ songs make it to the billboard rankings. But this time the chart saw a few first-timers.
