Trade: Billboard 200 #1 Album Week of June 13
Resolution criteria on PolyGram: Billboard updates the Billboard 200 albums chart each Tuesday (with adjusted release schedules on some holiday weeks), reflecting data from the previous week (Friday-Thursday). Each Billboard chart is then dated “Week of (date of the upcoming Saturday)”. This market will resolve according to the number 1 album on the Billboard 200 chart dated “Week of June 13, 2026”. This market will resolve as soon as the relevant chart is published. If the Billboard 200 chart for the specified week is not published within 14 calendar days of the expected release date, this market will resolve to “Other”.
PolyGram is an on-chain prediction market where you trade YES or NO outcome shares with real USDC on Polygon. For this market, buy YES if you believe the event will happen, or NO if you think it won't. Your maximum loss is your stake — winning shares pay $1.00 each at resolution. Unlike sportsbooks, there is no house edge: prices are set by supply and demand from other traders and reflect the crowd's real-time probability.

Market context
The Billboard 200 chart dated "Week of June 13, 2026" will reflect album sales and streaming data collected from Friday 5 June through Thursday 11 June. Billboard publishes this chart each Tuesday, typically around 10 a.m. ET, with the dated week always corresponding to the following Saturday. The number one album on that specific chart will determine settlement. Current order book pricing implies a 1% probability for this particular outcome, suggesting the market views it as a tail scenario among the field of potential chart-toppers.
Prediction markets on Billboard 200 outcomes historically show wide dispersion across candidates, with the top three contenders typically commanding 15–40% implied probability each. The 1% pricing here reflects either a low-profile artist, a release with limited commercial momentum, or an album not yet formally announced for that week. Major label release schedules and surprise drops both influence chart outcomes; traders should monitor music industry announcements through sources like Variety and Billboard's own release calendar as June 2026 approaches. Notably, the settlement window closes 10 June at 03:59 UTC, meaning the chart must publish by 24 June for resolution; any publication delay beyond that triggers an "Other" resolution.

How active is this market?
$5K in lifetime turnover and $18K of resting liquidity puts this market in the below the median by volume for song contracts on PolyGram. Order-book depth is modest — expect a couple of cents of slippage on $1k+ trades.
Last 24 hours alone saw $5K in turnover, well above the lifetime daily-average for this market — a clear sign of news catalysing trader activity right now.
The market has been open for under a month — fresh enough that information asymmetry remains a real factor.
Higher-volume markets tend to have tighter spreads and faster price discovery — meaning the displayed YES/NO percentages are more likely to reflect the true crowd-implied probability rather than a single trader's directional view.
Key terms

- Slippage
- The difference between the displayed mid-price and your fill price. Affects market orders most; limit orders avoid slippage but may take time to fill.

Risk and regulatory note
Prediction-market positions can lose 100% of staked capital. Outcomes are uncertain by definition — historical accuracy of crowd-implied probabilities is high in aggregate but not for any single market. PolyGram does not provide investment advice. Trade only with capital you can afford to lose.
Regulatory status varies by jurisdiction. Germany, the United States, and most EU countries treat Polymarket-style event contracts under one of three frameworks: financial derivative, gambling product, or unregulated novel asset. Consult local counsel before trading.
