Billboard has a new TikTok music chart
TikTok videos are driving a lot of music consumption, so much so that Billboard has decided that TikTok needs its own music chart. This shows exactly what kind of a monster the platform it has become when it comes to the industry.
The official “TikTok Billboard Top 50 Chart” is launching in the US. The press release says this is “first official chart in the U.S. to monitor music discovery and engagement on the platform.
