Eventful, Billboard team up to top new charts - CNET
Summary
Eventful, a service that discovers and promotes local events, announced on Thursday that it has joined forces with Billboard to deliver two new charts to add to the music brands growing list. Eventfuls Hottest chart will be updated every 30 minutes, based on the tally of fans that demand artists to perform in their area. "These latest charts take full advantage of the information available through Eventful Demand, which gives fans a way to influence where their favorite performers tour and also acts as a guide to assist performers in scheduling their tours," Eventful CEO Jordan Glazier said in a statement. Billboards decision to use Eventfuls Demand system is an interesting one. For years, the company has displayed the top grossing concerts, but this marks the first time that it will tell the artists where theyre most wanted.
