The FYI Holiday Schedule

This, dear readers, is our last newsletter before the holiday. We return with highlight editions on Dec. 28 and 31 and resume our usual Monday/Thursday schedule on Jan. 4. Between now and then, all the usuals and let's sincerely hope that 2021 is a less memorable one than 2020 has proved to be.

The FYI Holiday Schedule

By FYI Staff

Yes, dear friends, it's that time of the year when (ordinarily) we break out the punch bowl, pin the mistletoe, and gather in praise of the birth of baby Jesus or give a communal blessing in the form of family gatherings. Religious or not, December 25 is a day for celebration and exchanges of love and respect to those near and dear; at least it was before the darned virus tore us apart and turned us indoors. With the antidote now starting to swim into circulation, we can collectively sigh with relief in knowing that there's a chance 2021 will be better than the year before. This said, the FYI team wishes the best to you all over the holiday season.  This is our last newsletter before the break. We return on December 28.

Billboard France Announces the Launch of Billboard Paris

The French edition of the world's leading music media outlet is creating a local vertical to cover music news in the Greater Paris region.

Billboard France, the French edition of the world’s leading music media outlet, today announced the official launch of Billboard Paris.

This new vertical, which has already reached 10 million views on social media, will focus exclusively on music news from across the Paris region, covering local events — from small-scale concerts and club nights to music exhibitions — as well as major celebrations such as Fête de la Musique, Nuit Blanche, Techno Parade, and Pride Month.

Billboard Paris will be operated by Billboard France under the leadership of Nicolas Baudoin and Ulysse Hennessy. Yanis Si Youcef has been appointed editor-in-chief, with support from Julien Zeidan.

“In the space of a year, Billboard France has established itself as both a leading outlet for French and international music news and a reference point for industry professionals," Nicolas Baudoin and Ulysse Hennessy, president and managing Director of Billboard France and Billboard Paris, said in a joint statement. "This new Paris-focused event vertical allows us to build a highly localized audience while simultaneously expanding both our editorial and commercial offering. We are pleased to entrust it to Yanis Si Youcef, whose expertise closely aligns with our editorial ambitions.”

“Paris deserved its own benchmark music platform. Billboard Paris will tell the story of the city through its music, its scenes, and its nightlife, with the standards that have defined the Billboard brand for more than a century," added Yanis Si Youcef, editor-in-chief of Billboard Paris.
