More changes come to Billboard's Modern Rock chart.
Events that shaped Alternative Rock and Modern Rock Radio during that year
A Sign Of The Times: Billboard Makes Big Change To Modern Rock Chart
Starting with the August 2nd 2003 issue, Billboard began publishing only the top 20 tracks of their Modern Rock chart in their print magazine. To receive the full chart, Billboard began requiring a paid subscription to their online website. This was likely due to the diminishing role of radio stations for the distribution of and listening to new music. Digital technology and the internet brought about this change.
From this date forward, Radio Underground will continue only to cover modern / alternative rock tracks that made the top 20 on Billboard's chart, and use their entry into the top 20 as their "Date Of Entry" on to the chart. For the year · end countdowns for KROQ in Los Angeles and 91X in San Diego, Radio Underground will continue its posting of these charts for as late as information is available.
