Importance[edit]

Important? You gotta be kidding me. I've heard national countdowns in the United States based on charts from this magazine for decades. This must be a joke! The magazine is almost mentioned in the same breath as Billboard. STRONG KEEP Royalbroil 21:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article fails to address the two or so decades when R&R was central to how the music business operated, and the ways it brought a measure of transparency and integrity to an often-shady business before record labels' collapsing radio promotion budgets -- and the magazine's own management -- drove R&R into the ground.

Merger with Billboard[edit]

Since both Billboard Radio Monitor and Radio & Records will be combined into one weekly, its best that these articles be merged into one. Robert Moore 18:56 14 July 2006 (UTC)

I decided to do a new article about the "New" R&R rather than merging the two magazines since the new version will be different from both trades. Robert Moore 19:48, 04 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good call! Then the separate history of each can be preserved. --Royalbroil 04:03, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

shut down for good[edit]

according to Radio-info.com, Radio & Records will shut down with it's last issue be released on Friday as Nielsen Business Media closed down the R&R brand. the site is also offline for good. --Boutitbenza 69 9 (talk) 21:46, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So are these charts going to be billboard charts? I've been using R&R's Christian Hit Radio chart for Christian music articles. Royal broil 23:46, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I really don't know, i just read the site for radio news--Boutitbenza 69 9 (talk) 23:55, 3 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]
