Billboard boasts an impressive collection of over 200 weekly charts that cover a wide range of genres and formats. While established artists often aim to secure a place on the Billboard Hot 100 songs chart and Billboard 200 albums ranking, up-and-coming talents usually start off on more genre-specific lists.
