Adele and Lil Nas X were in the spotlight for the Billboard x VersusGame matchups for the charts dated Dec. 4. The games were available to play in the first week following the Nov. 19 release of Adele’s new Billboard 200 No. 1 album 30.
As announced last month, Billboard and VersusGame have joined forces to bring music fans a one-of-a-kind, user-generated experience with games that test knowledge of pop culture for a chance to win prizes and monetize trend predictions. Billboard is hosting biweekly head-to-head challenges on entertainment and pop culture gaming app VersusGame, where fans can vote on their favorite artists and songs and wager on who will top the charts and more. (VersusGame data shows that fans have predicted correct chart outcomes nearly three out of four times so far.)
Last week’s challenges featured the following questions:
Will all 12 songs from the standard edition of Adele‘s 30 chart in the top 40 of next week’s Billboard Hot 100: Yes or No?
Answer: No. While all 12 songs place on the latest Hot 100, six rank in the top 40, led by “Easy on Me,” which rebounds for its fifth week at No. 1.
