Billboard Japan

Billboard Japan is a sister organization of the U.S.-based music magazine Billboard.[1] It is operated by the Japanese Osaka-based company Hanshin Contents Link (a subsidiary of Hanshin Electric Railway), holding an exclusive licence from Billboard's parent company to the Billboard brand name in Japan,[2][3][4][5] and manages, among others, the website www.billboard-japan.com and several "Billboard Live"-branded music clubs located in the country.[6]

In February 2008, Hanshin Contents Link, under licence from Billboard, launched the Billboard Japan Hot 100 music chart.[7][8] As of 2016, the list of charts compiled by Billboard Japan also included an albums chart named Billboard Japan Hot Albums,[9] sales-only-based charts Top Singles Sales, Top Albums Sales, Top Jazz Albums Sales, and Top Classical Albums Sales, a radio-airplay chart named Radio Songs, an animation music chart named Hot Animation, and a chart for foreign songs named Hot Overseas.[10]

Since 2010, Billboard Japan holds an annual awards ceremony called the Billboard Japan Music Awards, which honors domestic and international artists who achieved the best results on Billboard Japan's music charts during the previous year.

Music Labo (Japanese: ミュージック・ラボ) was a music magazine in Japan, published from 1970 to 1994.[23] Billboard Publications bought 45% of that business to create Billboard Japan/Music Labo in 1971.[24][25] Music Labo published a number of record charts including the "Hot 150", the "Hot 100",[26] and the "Hot 50".[27] The Music Labo charts were used for the "Japan" section of "Hits of the World" in Billboard.[28] There were Billboard and Music Labo Awards at the Tokyo Music Festival.[29]
