There is no holiday today wtf...

Yesterday was Martin Luther King Jr. Day in the United States. It's a national holiday and a lot have people have off from work/school that day. The same goes for Billboard employees I assume.

[kierz7]

It will be revealed tomorrow.

Relax and move on!

It’s not the first time this has happened on a ‘Monday’ holiday in the U.S and won’t be the last.

[iHype.]

Even if Monday was a Holiday, it's now 5 pm on Tuesday and there's no top 10 for either chart....

It's past business hours. Nobody wants to wait for a 10 pm reveal, or wait until Wednesday for everything.

And this week the top 2 on both charts are competitive. It's not like we already know by a clearshot how the chart looks.

Chart data tweeted that the charts will be delayed until tomorrow. When is the last time something like this happened?

[HolidayGuy]

^Not unusual for a holiday weekend, as mentioned above, for charts to refresh a day later than usual. Now, the top 10 articles, another story.

Chart Data confirmed Life Is Good debuted top 40

[tuna]

Nobody saw that coming!

[twelvevinylrecords]

Imagine if Billboard just skipped this week entirely and never released the numbers. This forum would explode

When you gotta get those Twitter engagements no matter what…

[reputainbow]

this is just odd... it could be billboard getting another look at the numbers to verify them, and they're using the holiday as an excuse. but there's already been a delay, so idk exactly.

[ddlz]

Me hate-following the Grammys and Billboard charts every week doesn't change the fact that one is a criminal enterprise and other one is a t-shirt chart!

[thegreatdivine]

Speaking of the Grammys, they're getting exposed for corruption.

[lazer]

Could it be if the Yummy's performance is the reason why Billboard delayed the charts?

[annoymous1]

It probably shouldn't be said in a billboard thread but Grammys are now lowkey(maybe highkey) a joke.

I'm aware of Holiday delays but the Hot 100 article is usually posted the following day. The Billboard 200 article has now been delayed for 3 days, I can only imagine the new YouTube formula is what's behind this.

Chartdata confirms Life is Good is somewhere in the Top 40 this week, but it could just be them assuming it’d be there as it’s a #1 contender. Hardly news but the fact that they’re tweeting something without OFFICIAL confirmation is interesting.

my friend's aunt's uncle who works for billboard confirms that adore you harry styles is somewhere in the top 100 this week, but it's probably just him assuming it's there because it's a top 20 contender

[renaboss]

Where's the news that the Grammys are corrupt? My Google search came up with really old articles. Which means they've been accused of such for a long time, I guess, but I'd like the update.

[tanooki]

Rare is top 40 and Sum 2 Prove is top 20

Life is Good is top 5 but...no shit

A long saga...

Deborah Dugan, who took over as Recording Academy president/CEO on Aug. 1, has been placed on administrative leave just over a week before the 2020 Grammy Awards due to "serious concerns" brought to the board of trustees' attention.

“In light of concerns raised to the Recording Academy Board of Trustees, including a formal allegation of misconduct by a senior female member of the Recording Academy team, the Board has placed Recording Academy President and CEO Deborah Dugan on administrative leave, effective immediately," a statement provided to Billboard Wednesday night (Jan. 16) reads. "The Board has also retained two independent third-party investigators to conduct independent investigations of the allegations."

Grammys CEO Deborah Dugan Fires Back, Promising to 'Expose' What Led to Her Suspension

In the wake of her suspension as Recording Academy president and CEO, which blindsided industry players in and outside of the academy late Thursday night, Deborah Dugan said through her attorney that she'll soon "expose" what really happened.

The New York Times reported that, less than three weeks ago, Dugan sent a memo to the Academy's head of human resources, detailing her concerns about voting irregularities, conflicts of interest and financial mismanagement at the Academy, leading her to conclude "something was seriously amiss."

Ousted Grammy Chief Files Sexual Harassment & Discrimination Complaint Against Recording Academy
www.billboard.com/articles/business/legal-and-management/8548581/grammy-chief-deborah-dugan-recording-academy-complaint

Recording Academy president/CEO Deborah Dugan filed a discrimination complaint with the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) on Tuesday (Jan. 21), after she was placed on administrative leave on Jan. 16 amid allegations of workplace bullying.

In that memo, Dugan claimed that she has been subjected to sexual harassment by Joel Katz, the Academy’s general counsel and a former member and chair (1995-97) of the Academy’s board of trustees. She says she was also asked by the current chair of the board John Poppo to rehire former Academy CEO Neil Portnow at $750,000 annual salary. She said she also learned that although she has been asked to take over Portnow’s position, she was being paid substantially less than her two male predecessors.
