Billboard to Sponsor SongDrop Contest Judged By ABBA’s Björn Ulvaeus


The monthly competition is run by Session Studio, a platform that tracks creators credits as they collaborate.

Billboard is partnering with Session Studio on its January SongDrop contest, which will be judged by ABBA ‘s Björn Ulvaeus — with help from staffers from the magazine. Ulvaeus will make the final decision on the winner, who’ll receive $1,000, a yearlong ProTools Ultimate Subscription, and a one-year membership to Billboard Pro, the definitive news source of information on the music industry, with more than 250 charts, a daily briefing and special reports. Session Studio was founded to make it easier for streaming services to accurately identify the creators and rightsholders of compositions by offering them a way to register for credit as they work.
