Emerging Artists
Launched and helped develop the methodology of Billboard’s first chart devoted to up-and-coming artists.
Songwriters & Producers
Launched and manage Billboard’s first-ever charts devoted to songwriters and producers. We have 26 total, including genre-specific rankings for country, rock, alternative, hard rock, rap, R&B, Latin, dance/electronic, Christian, and gospel.
First-Timers
Launched Billboard’s First-Timers series, where we highlight artists who debut on the charts for the first time. We have two corresponding columns: “Hot 100 First-Timers,” which focuses on newcomers to the Hot 100, and “10 First-Timers,” which features new artists across all 200+ of Billboard’s charts.
