Every Tuesday, the Billboard Hot 100 updates. Millions of music fans check to see if their favorite artist climbed, if that TikTok song finally cracked the top 10, or if the reigning #1 held its throne for another week. It's appointment content. And until now, it's been entirely passive.
Introducing Billboard Bingo
Billboard Bingo transforms chart watching from a solo scroll into a competitive, social experience. Players receive a randomized 5x5 bingo card each week filled with chart predictions like "Song jumps 10+ spots," "K-Pop entry," "TikTok viral debuts," or "Artist has 3+ songs charting."
As the chart updates, squares get marked. First to complete a line wins.
Why Music Charts?
The Billboard Hot 100 has tracked America's musical pulse since 1958. It's one of the few entertainment metrics that updates weekly with real, verifiable outcomes, making it perfect for prediction gaming.
Unlike sports, music charts don't have an off-season. 52 weeks a year, every year, there's a new chart. That's 52 opportunities for engagement, 52 reasons to open your app, 52 chances to win.
Five Categories of Predictions
We've organized chart events into five categories that create balanced, exciting gameplay:
Chart Movement: Songs rising 10+ spots, dropping out of the top 10, re-entering, or holding #1
Artist Events: Multiple songs charting simultaneously, new artist debuts, comeback entries
Genre Crossovers: Country, K-Pop, Latin, or rock breaking into the mainstream top 40
Viral Moments: TikTok songs debuting, streaming spikes, TV sync boosts
Milestones: Gold/Platinum certifications, weeks at #1 records, longest charting achievements
Game Modes for Every Audience
Weekly Bingo is just the beginning. The platform supports multiple formats:
Season Long: Cumulative scoring across the year. Most bingos by December wins.
Genre Wars: Pick a genre and compete. Country fans vs Pop stans vs Hip-Hop heads.
Artist Survivor: Pick one artist per week to chart. Can't repeat. Elimination style.
