This episode looks primarily at two concepts: popular music lists -known as the charts (yes, “chart” is a verb) - and billboards. Listen and find out which song has recently climbed the charts to set a record. Billboards are large signs typically found along highways near large cities. They’re ugly and they spoil the landscape. This is known as an eyesore. Billboard, the company, tracks and ranks popular music based on sales and downloads. This episode reveals which song holds the number one record by a long shot.
