Billboard recently announced an exciting development: the introduction of its latest app, Billboard Hot 100 Challenge: Predict the Hits, which allows users to predict popular music rankings.

The first-of-its-kind smartphone game enables fans to predict the hits by applying fantasy sports games to the music industry. Participants must guess the final peak position that each song will reach before the contest ends on July 16. New music will be played daily from Monday through Friday.

Participants will receive points based on the accuracy of their predictions regarding a song’s peak. The season’s winner will receive a $25,000 cash grand prize, while runners-up will receive two passes to a 2024 or 2025 Billboard event or conference. Third-place winners will receive two concert tickets to a show in their local area.

Players can participate in various activities beyond gameplay, including daily trivia sessions on the platform. These sessions enable them to showcase their familiarity with the artists and songs that have made their mark on the Hot 100 chart since its inception in 1958.

Billboard’s executive vice president of the charts, Silvio Pietroluongo, expressed, “For more than six decades, the Billboard Hot 100 has been the music industry’s top chart for measuring hits. We are thrilled to create a new and unique interactive experience for passionate fans. The Hot 100 Challenge provides fans with an entirely new way to engage with the Billboard charts and their love of new music. We’re redefining how fans engage with chart-topping hits and ushering in a new music discovery and enjoyment era.”

Players intrigued by the idea of participating in this exciting game should meet the eligibility criteria, which include being at least 18 years old and living within the United States. The Billboard Hot 100 Challenge: Predict the Hits app can be conveniently downloaded from the Apple App Store and Google Play Store.
