Hits is an American music industry
trade publication. Founded by Lenny Beer and Dennis
Lavinthal, who had previously worked in independent
promotion. Hits was launched as a print magazine in
August 1986. It quickly became one of the more
widely circulated "tip sheets" with considerable
record industry support.
An online version of the magazine, Hits Daily
Double, premiered in May 2000. Both on and
offline, the magazine's content includes proprietary
weekly sales and airplay data, a section on breaking
artists ("Vibe-Raters"), interviews with music
industry leaders, a weekly cartoon, music and music
industry news, and charts provided by
