As season 7B of #PopIndustry approaches, we would like to welcome you all to the first official Billboard website! Now, the next season of #PopIndustry is still a month away, but we thought we'd give you a sneak peak on our newest features. Who knows? Sooner or later, you may also be creating your very own website.
NOTE: The website is still in-development and while the basic format is complete, the amount of content is still minimal and being worked on. Please be patient while we populate this over the coming months.
Here's a quick run-down of all the services offered on this website!
The Home Page: Listed on the homepage will be some Featured Releases, the most recent Updates, a complete list of all the Products and Services we offer, as well as an opportunity to learn more about the Label Executives.
The Updates Blog: Found out the Menu bar, the fully functional Updates Blog will detail general website Announcements alongside articles from the Billboard Charts, the PI Awards, Metacritic and the recent addition of Cover Interviews.
The Bookings Page: Speaking of Cover Interviews, we'll no longer be taking bookings over Twitter. Instead, there's a calendar where you can book interviews with Karen Smith or New York, or even book the weekly Billboard Magazine shoot! Fancy, huh?
NOTE 1: Do NOT book yourselves anything yet. Times will be changing when the season begins. Any bookings made before the season begins will not be honored.
NOTE 2: The Billboard Magazine shoot must be created by YOU. If you are the one to book this item, then it's up to you to create it and forward it onto us. We will post it for you. Feel free to ask other artists for some extra headlines, but also take care to state the correct information on the cover (i.e. don't say you have a #1 single when you don't; this is an official magazine). See this Billboard Charts article for an example.
The Artist Gallery: Also found on our Menu bar, the Artist Gallery will showcase all the artists that have found their place in #PopIndustry - with options to like their official picture and post about them on Social Media. However the main draw is the Artist Pages themselves - found by clicking on an image in the Artist Gallery. These will give a brief summary on the artist as well as a full list of their discography to date!
The Record Store: You like music, do you? Then you'll want to take a look at the Record Store, featuring all releases from the history of #PopIndustry. Some new releases will find themselves featured on the Billboard homepage, alongside some Editor's Picks from Billboard. Whatever your sound, you'll find it here.
We would like to thank all of our Label Executives for the hard work put into the event, as well as all you guys who help make this event exciting, fresh and something to strive for. #PopIndustry returns October 22nd. It's out with the old, and in with the new!
