with countless musicians and touring professionals facing months without

income as concerts have ground to a halt across the globe.

As the industry’s most trusted source of news, Billboard is committed to

providing the information and insight to help it get through this pandemic and

emerge stronger. In this issue, we examine COVID-19’s effects on every part

of the music world, highlighting both the challenges and opportunities these

unsettling new global conditions present. Please continue to send us your

stories, your coping strategies, your inventive business ideas and your calls to

action — we want to share your wisdom with our community at a time when

we’ve never needed one another more.

In the meantime, we are continuing to make Billboard available to you

through multiple channels so that you can still access our music world
