For real diversity and inclusion, these 5 global brands should expand to Africa

Billboard – Music

When it comes to music, Billboard has created a brand as the number one go-to for everything music including interviews, news and photos. All sorts of music from all over the world are represented on the Billboard chart. From Latin to Australian music, popular music to alternative music, it’s very shocking that there is no section for African music. Musicians from Africa have been entertaining the world and producing top records, and if Africa is in the world, there is no reason why there can’t be an African chart in Billboard music.
