Almost everyone has heard of Billboard Music Charts. Billboard is best known for covering music, films and even the ringtones we use in our cell phones. It was back in 1884 that the now famous Billboard magazine was originally launched. By 1914 Billboard magazine built-in the first music chart. This music chart counted down all of the most popular songs that were heard in Vaudeville theaters during those days.
Then in 1930 when the jukebox was invented to play records, Billboard began by charting the country's most popular music. Next, in 1936 Billboard magazine came up with a new feature they called "Chart Line". Songs that the radio networks played the most on were listed in Billboard's new Chart Line. By the year 1940, Billboard also began including the Best Selling Record Charts in their magazine. This would be the beginning of Billboard's journey into charting music.
Billboard also began several Country Music charts, some of which includes:
Hot country songs - the popularity on this country music chart is calculated on the basis of how many weekly airplay and sales were made.
Top country recurrents - it plays the popular hit songs that have continuously remained for 20 weeks on the Hot Country songs chart and subsequently slipped down to No. 50.
