Billboard has revamped its music site to better compete against rivals, including including AOL, Clear Channel, MySpace and Yahoo, reports
USA Today. There will be separate pages at
www.billboard.com for every act that has made the charts. Visitors can read their history, hear songs, watch videos and buy recordings and concert tickets. Users can hear a song once for free, and pay
10 cents for unlimited additional listenings; they can also create a playlist from various Hot 100 charts. The trade mag will also have apps on iPhone and Facebook. With the print side's circulation
falling, the Web business could account for the majority of the magazine's revenue.
