Billboard x Twitter to Launch Real Time Charts ? (Article)

#AMPtv got the word that powerhouse social networking site Twitter is teaming up with Billboard to take the charts to the next level.



Billboard and Twitter launched the “Billboard Twitter Real-Time Charts” today (May 27). The interactive charts allows fans to rank songs being shared on Twitter, according the publication. Among the charts is the “Billboard Trending 140,” which the publication describes as "an up to the minute ranking of songs shared in the U.S., measured by acceleration over the past hour.”

 At press time, Kanye West’s “God Level” is the #5 song on the “Billboard Trending 140” chart.

 The #1 slot is Austin Mahone's “The Shadow.”

 Ghostface Killah’s “Six Degrees” is #11.

 A weekly summary of the chart will be published online and in Billboard magazine as the “Billboard Twitter Top Tracks” chart. 

Songs are tracked by Billboard by the use of links and hashtags, among other things.
