“Music Charts are one of the most important validations that artists can receive from fans” said Billboard Vietnam CEO, Myke Brown. “We are excited that Vietnamese music culture can unite and shine with artists around the world under a standardized metric for our music industry. I would like to thank Billboard President Julian Holguin, the entire Billboard U.S. and regional team for their commitment in bringing the charts to Vietnam. We at Billboard Vietnam are truly committed to our local artists and we wish for them to reach their highest potential by empowering them and providing them an opportunity to participate and be discovered on the global stage”.
Billboard was first introduced as a national music chart in 1940 and their music popularity rankings have grown to be the most accurate and respected measure of success for artists and their music. The Billboard Hot 100, introduced in 1958, and Billboard 200, launched in 1956, have been the barometer of success for artists, songs, and albums in the U.S. for decades and resonate globally, especially for international acts who are able to dominate those rankings. A recent example being Korean act BTS, which grew in international prominence following a string of No. 1 titles on the Hot 100 and Billboard 200, as well as multiple Billboard Music Award wins.
Vietnamese music will have the opportunity to appear on the Billboard chart
“Since the introduction of the charts, Billboard has been the music industry’s main resource for measuring what is popular,” said Billboard President, Julian Holguin. “With its storied history, artistry, and cultural significance, we couldn’t be more thrilled to launch a new regional chart in Vietnam. Billboard is humbled to bring the rich Vietnamese music scene to a global audience, and we look forward to the artist discovery this chart will usher in.”
Music fans play a vital role for the Billboard Vietnam music charts as their support counts for streams, views, and sales of their favorite artists’ music through legitimate music providers which contribute towards these artists’ success.
The charts will be the first of their kind locally, exposing Vietnamese music and artists to an international audience while displaying the impact of international acts within Vietnam. These same charts will also be featured on Billboard.com, further empowering artist discovery amongst a global community.
