In an era where technology is constantly impacting our way of life, it\u2019s no doubt that the way we listen to music and watch videos is at least a little different!
\nThat\u2019s why starting Jan. 3 Billboard is making some changes! It was recently announced that both video and audio data from YouTube will be factored into the Billboard 200 album chart, along with visual plays from officially licensed video content plays from Apple, Spotify, Tidal and Vevo.
\nIt has been 5 years since Billboard has made a change like this, adding audio streams. That transformed the original chart, which only focused on album sales, to a consumption based model.
\nIt was also announced that the addition of video will also impact Billboard’s genre album consumption charts, such as Country, R&B\/Hip-Hop, Latin and others.
\nSo what\u2019s the verdict, are y\u2019all feeling it?
