(in the 1900s, it covered the ‘entertainment industry’, such as ‘circuses’, ‘fairs’, and ‘burlesque shows’)
(it also created a ‘mail service’ for ‘traveling entertainers’)
(“billboard” began focusing more on the ‘music industry’ as the ‘jukebox’, ‘phonograph’, and ‘radio’ became commonplace)
(many topics it covered were spun-off into different magazines, including amusement business in 1961 to cover ‘outdoor entertainment’ so that it could focus on ‘music’)

(the billboard charts tabulate the ‘relative weekly popularity’ of ‘songs’ and ‘albums’ in the ‘united states’ and elsewhere)
(the results are published in billboard magazine)
(billboard biz (the online extension of the billboard charts) provides additional ‘weekly charts’)
(there are also ‘year end charts’)
(the charts may be dedicated to specific ‘genre’ such as ‘R&B’, ‘country’, or ‘rock’, or they may cover all ‘genres’)
(the charts can be ranked according to ‘sales’, ‘streams’, or ‘airplay’, and for main ‘song charts’ such as the ‘hot 100’ song chart, all 3 pools of data are used to compile the ‘charts’)
(for the billboard 200 album chart, ‘streams’ and ‘track sales’ are included in addition to ‘album sales’)
