Billboard

The most influential DJs commanded percentages of concert grosses, trips, free records, along with a plethora of other perks, including co-songwriting credits.

Various articles were published dealing with the practice in periodicals like Billboard Magazine." So Billboard Magazine has been on payola since the '50s.

Wow.

But yeah, basically they were just taking in all these bribe, bribe, bribes, and they were kind of creating who was gonna be the next big star.

Production code MABF15, written by Dan Greaney and Alan Grazier, and directed by Steven Dean Moore.

Billboard gag.

Billboard-

Or opening caption gag first

... opening caption gag, Flander is an angel.

So good.

[laughs] Okay, Billboard's number one song of the year was That's What Friends Are For by Dionne Warwick, Elton John, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder.

Billboard's year-end top five were That's What Friends Are For, Say You, Say Me by Lionel Richie, I Miss You by Climax, On My Own, Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald, and Broken Wings by Mr. Mister.

Whitney- Have you been to Climax before? Uh, I don't know what you're talking about.

[laughs] The city.

The Beastie Boys released Licensed to Ill-

Oh

... which would become the first rap album ever to reach number one on the Billboard album chart.

They hit global charts.

This is when they started charting on Billboard and really making recognition, like, on iTunes and things like that.

So we're seeing them chart internationally with these albums, and it really cemented BTS as a major global force by landing on these charts like Billboard, and breaking records previously unseen for K-pop acts in general outside of, like, traditional hubs.

So, like, it's one thing to be a K-pop act making this kind of impression internationally and being on these charts, but it's a whole nother thing having them be from Big Hit Entertainment, which was essentially-

Right

Crazy.

It's the most streamed K-pop album of all time across all platforms.

It has the most single day streams in Spotify history, and it was number one on Billboard Hot 200 for three consecutive weeks, and then multiple songs from this album continued to chart for weeks and weeks after.

Albums that were released on September the 17th include: in 1964, when Manfred Mann released their debut American studio album, The Manfred Mann Album, on Ascot Records.

The rhythm-and-blues-oriented package peaked at number 35 on the Billboard albums chart.

It had their chart-topping hit, "Do Wah Diddy Diddy".

Diddy dum, diddy do.

In 1966, The Ventures released their album Wild Things on Dolton Records.

Album peaked at number 35 on the Billboard albums chart.

It had the hits Wild Thing and Wild Child.

In 1971, Colosseum released their double live album, Colosseum Live.

So now, this would be a good quiz.

Top 200 on the Billboard chart.

What did it peak at?

Ooh, the Noventa Millas.

Oh, really? I thought it was just in the Spanish one.

I think this was the first single from John Secada.

And it makes number one on the Billboard Hot Latin Song Chart, I think.

Sorry, my English is not perfect.

He needed Lanois to help him find the sound.

Despite its despairing theme, it was released as the album's lead single and became a major success, spending eight weeks on Billboard's mainstream rock chart and peaking at number eight.

Next up, ring them bells.

A warning, a plea, a call for intervention.

No, it's true.

I saw it on the Billboard magazine.

Oh, okay.

That's legit then.

All right, Matt.

All right, my number two, it actually reached number one on the Billboard rock charts and won Best Rock Performance in 2012.

Pretty much ditto.

It's Walk.
