ROLLING STONE PARTNERS WITH MONDO NYC
Rolling Stone editors will be curating multiple panels as part of its “Business of Music” series with a deep dive into critical issues including streaming trends, musician’s struggle to own their own work and how Rolling Stone Charts function (newly launched).
“Virtually every metric in entertainment is reported on a fixed weekly basis, which is out of date with actual consumer trends. With the launch of Rolling Stone Charts this year, we counter this trend and now offer an impartial, in-depth and in-the-moment view of the biggest songs, albums and artists in music,” — Rolling Stone President Gus Wenner
