Because what America needs right now is lower fuel prices, universal health care, and another music reality show, Billboard magazine is hoping to solve at least one of our nation's problems. The Nielsen Business Media trade is launching Billboard Next, reports The Hollywood Reporter, also, conveniently a Nielsen Business Media title. [THR] The show will have hopefuls upload their acts to the Next website, and whoever collects the most votes will get to appear on proper television. "Details of the prize are being kept under wraps," reads the report, which basically translates as, "Don't hope for anything more than a sidebar blurb in Billboard at some point in the future."
