I'm not quite sure what you mean by "chart builder," but all of these companies have a section on their websites for job openings. Jist Google "Spotify careers" or "Billboard magazine jobs" and it should be one of the first links available.
Just a forewarning, though: most of the jobs available are either in the sales or marketing departments.

What i meant to is that i like the Billboard 100 chart and checking it every week and i want to work in there as a writer or a chart builder, everything that related to the chart. It may sounds crazy but its a big part of my life. |

I'm assuming most of the chart building is automated so most of the work would be in software programming?

Billobard job openings are posted on valencemedia.applytojob.com/ (along with openings at their sister publications like Hollywood Reporter, Spin, Stereogum, etc.). I don't see anything entry level there at the moment, but I suggest browsing through all the postings to get an idea of the experience you need to build to qualify for each position. I see a couple of senior staff writer jobs open right now. Like nickd said, the actual chart compiling is probably automated, so to that end I don't think you'll ever see a job posting specifically for a chart builder. They would use a web developer, if they even employ someone on a permanent basis for that (a lot of companies outsource or hire freelancers for their web development). |
