Billboard has introduced a new game called Billboard Hot 100 Challenge: Predict the Hits, where players can win $25,000.
To participate, players must tune in to a new song each weekday from Monday to Friday and predict its chart position by July 16th using a fantasy sports-style format through a mobile app.
Players will earn points based on how accurate their predictions are. The winner takes home $25,000, the second-place winner gets VIP access for two to a 2024 or 2025 Billboard event, while the third-place winner receives two concert tickets to a local show.
“For more than six decades, the Billboard Hot 100 has been the music industry’s top chart for measuring hits,” said Silvio Pietroluongo, Billboard’s executive vice president of charts. “We are thrilled to create a new and unique interactive experience for passionate fans. The Hot 100 Challenge provides fans an entirely new way to engage with the Billboard charts and their love of new music.”
He added, “We’re redefining how fans engage with chart-topping hits and ushering in a new music discovery and enjoyment era.”
Participants must be 18 or older and live in the U.S. to join. The Billboard Hot 100 Challenge: Predict the Hits app can be downloaded on the Apple App Store and Google Play.
