About 60% of the editorial pages are produced in Brazil, with the remainder being translated from the international edition.[2]
Billboard Brasil follows the basic format of the American Billboard, featuring both Brasil Hot 100 and Billboard 200 charts, articles on regional and international music, as well as regional and international charts. The charts are done based on the Crowley Broadcast Analysis report, which monitors 265 radio stations around the country, and which already provided this service for the music industry prior to Billboard's launch.[3][4][5][6] Brazil was the third country to launch a print affiliate of the American magazine, following Russia and Turkey.
Billboard charts are accepted as Brazil's official charts. They are published monthly on the website and in the magazine. The charts include:
Billboard Brasil was launched by Bill Werde, Editor-in-chief of the American Billboard magazine, in Brazil in September 2009. Werde expressed his appreciation of Brazilian music, and stated that Billboard would monitor the local market.
The first number-one song on the main chart was "Halo" by Beyoncé. Its first cover was Roberto Carlos, Brazil's best-selling music artist. In May 2010, "Tapa na Cara" (English: "Slap in the Face") by Brazilian duo Zezé Di Camargo e Luciano became the first ever national song to reach number-one song on the main chart, following six consecutive months of Mariah Carey's cover version of "I Want to Know What Love Is" holding this position.
