Brief about Billboard social 50
The Billboard Social 50 is a popularity chart which ranks the most active musical artists on the world’s leading social networking services.[1] Its data, published by Billboard magazine and compiled by Next Big Sound, is based collectively on each artist’s weekly additions of friends, fans and followers, along with artist website views and streaming media.[1] Bill Werde, the former editorial director of Billboard, called the Social 50 “yet another step” in the evolution of the magazine and an “important response to our changing times”.[2] The chart initially only retrieved its data from YouTube, Vevo, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and iLike to create its ranking, but in November 2012 was expanded to include SoundCloud and Instagram.[3][4] Data from Vine and Tumblr were added to the chart in June 2015.
On his debut, Sarkodie peaks at number 48 on the top 50 chart.
