AUSTIN (KXAN) -- From The Beatles to Beyoncé, the Billboard Charts have everything to offer when it comes to music.

Various speakers participated in a panel during South by Southwest (SXSW) Friday morning to discuss the featured session "Behind The Billboard Charts."

Launching more than 80 years ago, the Billboards remain "the definitive measurement of success in music, tracking the world's most popular songs, albums, and artists," a description of the event said on the SXSW website.

In the discussion, panelists discussed how Billboard Charts were "modernized and globalized as a way to reflect the many means of music consumption in an ever-evolving borderless digital and social age."
