R&R (also known as the "new"
Radio & Records) was a weekly music trade publication that followed the radio industry and tracked the monitoring of current songs by format, station and audience
cumes. The magazine was a sister publication to
Billboard magazine and was mostly available through subscription to people who work in the radio industry and music chart enthusiasts, as well as various record stores and newsstands. On June 5, 2009, parent company
AC Nielsen ceased operations on
R&R just short of three years after acquiring the former independent trade periodical. When it ceased publication in 2009,
R&R was the successor-in-interest of publications that traced their operations back to 1973.
