The State of the Hot 100 Top 10: 2018 x 2019
October 31 • 2 – 3 PM ET
It was just last year that Hip Hop was dominating the Hot 100 Top 10…
Over the past six months, Pop has taken over as the top primary genre, average tempo is at a five-year high, and over half of number one hits are under three minutes in length.
Today’s hits are changing faster than ever — on every level — from the songwriting and production techniques used to craft them to the influences and instruments shaping their sound.
Compositional analytics can be a powerful tool when it comes to making songwriting, production, and business decisions. It can help you spot evolving and waning trends, select a single, determine the best time to release a song, and so much more.
Join Hit Songs Deconstructed co-founders Yael and David Penn to take a deep dive into current Billboard Hot 100 Top 10 compositional trends and get in tune with what’s driving today’s most successful songs at the compositional level.

Jaxsta’s Innovative Approach to Music Credits: How It Could Help Your Career

Having established data partner agreements with myriad record labels, industry associations, publishers and royalty agencies across the globe — including The Recording Academy, Sony Music Entertainment, Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, Merlin and most recently APRA AMCOS — Jaxsta has more than 30 million pages of official credits covering artists, songwriters, producers and engineers, a number that is growing daily. In this webinar, Jacqui will discuss the journey of Jaxsta, how its groundbreaking technology will assist artists in gaining more work, and the various ways in which Jaxsta Pro will benefit your business, from simplifying the sync process and helping you monetize your metadata to offering exclusive market insights and access to industry contacts.
