Billboard adds Americana and Folk music to charts

Billboard magazine has decided to create a new Americana and Folk Albums chart in a move that recognizes the rise of artists — such as Jason Isbell and the Lumineers —who have enjoyed commercial success.

Billboard announced the chart change on Thursday, effective June 4, in an email to record executives. The chart was previously called the Folk Albums chart, leaving some Americana artists without a go-to chart.

The move comes a few months after heated debate when the country-folk band Green River Ordinance was left off the Country Albums chart, but slotted on the Folk and Rock charts. And the new chart serves as another piece of recognition for the rise of Americana, the broad umbrella of a genre that covers American roots music from multiple sub-genres — country, rock, blues, folk and jazz, among others.

“This change recognizes the growth of Americana and the prominent rise of the term overall, both within the industry and in widespread music coverage,” said Gary Trust, co-director of charts for Billboard in email forwarded to The Tennessean.

Whoever thought of #TBT, I tip my hat to you, never undone no matter what the social media network.

#TBT By the time I was 16 yrs old, I had already enrolled in four high schools across the country due to being evicted and lil’ trouble with the law.. McKinley HS (Honolulu, HI), Glencliff HS (Nashville, TN), McGavock HS (Nashville, TN), Freedom HS (Bethlehem, PA). I was also 6’4 225lbs, rockin’ a dead caterpillar on my lip (aka the porn ‘stache) and all the kids in every high school thought I was an undercover cop cause I looked like a mutated, yet handsome SOB of a man child. Plus in Nashville I was already hangin’ out in honey tonk dive bars on Music Row and hustlin’ cars from crackheads. Yup, one of the many reasons why I’m a grateful man for the life I have today and also grateful I straight up kicked puberty’s ass early in life. #GodBlessSamoanAndBlackGenetics #AndGodBlessOurTeenageYears #AndWTFWasIThinkingWithThisMustache

Watch Bruce Springsteen Perform “Out In The Streets” In 1980

How I wish I was a tad older in the early 1980s, just to catch the very best of Bruce Springsteen. He was touring with the geniuses of the E Street Band to support The River, and now there’s a great video to relive, if you were there, or check out what we all missed.

Bruce delivered this performance at Arizona State University where he stopped as his tour as the presidential election concluded and Ronald Reagan became the President.

It’s spring-loaded and deliriously exciting stuff.

If you’re new to Grimes, you should watch this short doc

Back in November, Grimes released her technicolor new record, Art Angels. During The FADER’s cover story reporting back in the summer, we sat down with Canadian producer/singer Claire Boucher in her Los Angeles home to find out how she’s evolved the Grimes project, the misconceptions she has to deal with as a DIY artist, and what’s she learnt touring the world.

“At first, I guess, there was just Grimes,” she says in the documentary. “I don’t technically have control of her narrative anymore—she very much exists in pop culture now. Grimes as one person cannot represent more than a couple of ideas. That’s why I started developing some of the other characters, like really abstract from who I am and how I am.”

Justin Bieber Is Done Taking Pictures With Fans

Justin Bieber posted a message to his Instagram this week writing that he is “done taking pictures” and won’t participate if fans see him out in public. It brings up an interesting question – what do celebrities owe their fans? The ones that have given money to them, allowed them to become celebrities in the first place? What do the fans owe their heroes? Time away from the spotlight? Peace and quiet during a dinner in a restaurant? It’s too late for society to develop new rules, but good on Bieber for laying down the rules on how he wants to conduct his life and sanity. Many have been at his level of success, few have survived with mind intact.
