The Emerging Artists is a released weekly by Billboard magazine listing the most popular developing . The chart uses the same formula as the all-encompassing Billboard Artist 100, which measures artist activity across multiple , including the Billboard Hot 100 and the Billboard 200. However, the Emerging Artists chart excludes acts that have notched a top 25 entry on either the Billboard Hot 100 or Billboard 200, as well as artists that have achieved two or more top ten entries on Billboards "Hot" song genre charts or "Top" album genre rankings.

Prior to the chart creation, Billboard had published several charts tracking emerging artists such as the Heatseekers, the Next Big Sound, and the Uncharted. Billboard launched the Emerging Artists chart in June 2014, in partnership with . It initially compiled the most-shared songs by up-and-coming artists, ranked by the volume of shares on Twitter in the United States over a seven-day period. The chart was revamped using the same formula as the Billboard Artist 100 chart in September 2017.

Earlier charts for emerging artists
Heatseekers charts (1991–2025)
Billboard began highlighting the performances of new and developing music artists since 1991 with the creation of the Heatseekers Albums and the Heatseekers Songs charts. A number of artists who charted on the Heatseekers chart have achieved mainstream success, such as who topped the Heatseekers Albums with his self-titled debut album in 1993 and topped the US main album chart of the Billboard 200 for the first time with his seven studio album Unleashed in 2002. topped the Heatseekers Albums with her debut EP Don't Smile at Me (2017) and topped the Billboard 200 with her debut studio album When We All Fall Asleep, Where Do We Go? (2019).

Next Big Sound (2010–2021)
In 2010, Billboard collaborated with Next Big Sound, a New York–based company which provides for online music, to create the Next Big Sound 25 chart. It listed the fastest-accelerating artists of the week, across all major social music sites, statistically predicted to achieve future success. The chart aimed to predict artists who were most likely to make their debut on the Billboard 200 chart within the next year, all based on a patented algorithm that looked at artists' growth on social media and streaming over the previous 90 days. As Pandora acquired Next Big Sound on May 19, 2015, the chart was also published on Pandora website as the "Pandora Predictions" chart. The first number-one artist on the chart was Victorious on December 18, 2010, and the final number-one artist was on October 2, 2021. The chart became permanently defunct as Pandora shut down Next Big Sound platform on November 1, 2021.

Uncharted (2011–2014)
Uncharted was a chart compiled by Billboard listing the top new and developing artists who have yet to appear on a major , regardless of country of origin. Ranking is based on a formula incorporating streamed plays, page views and fans according to , as well as sources tracked by online aggregator Next Big Sound, including , , , Last.fm, and , among others. In order to appear on Uncharted, acts must be registered artists and have not appeared on specifically outlined Billboard charts.

The first number-one artist on the chart was on January 29, 2011, and the final number-one artist was on June 7, 2014. The top-performing Uncharted artists of the year were Traphik (2011) and DJ Bl3nd (2012 and 2013). DJ Bl3nd holds the record for the most weeks at number one on the Uncharted (62 weeks) and remained on the chart for a total of 103 weeks.

Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists (2014–2017)
The Emerging Artists was one of four charts launched by Billboard. The chart listed the most-shared songs on Twitter in the United States by up-and-coming artists—determined by Twitter follower thresholds and Hot 100 charting history—ranked by the volume of shares over a seven-day period (Monday to Sunday). Its first number one was 's "Cut Her Off" on the issue dated June 7, 2014, and its final number-one before the chart revamp was Cheat Codes' "No Promises" on the issue dated August 26, 2017.

Revised methodology (2017–present)
Starting with Billboard charts dated September 2, 2017, a revamped Emerging Artists chart was modeled after the same formula as the Billboard Artist 100 chart which debuted in 2014 and captures the breakout artists not on that chart. It measures artist activity across Billboard's "most influential charts", including the Billboard Hot 100, the Billboard 200 and the Social 50. And, unlike the original Billboard Twitter Emerging Artists chart, which ranked with song titles of the weekly most shared songs on Twitter by new artists, the new Emerging Artists chart ranks only by artist, without listing a song or album.

The new chart "incorporates key metrics of music consumption, blending album and track sales, radio airplay, streaming and social media fan interaction to provide a weekly multi-dimensional ranking of artist popularity". And the revised chart will "exclude artists that have notched a top 25 entry on either the Hot 100 or Billboard 200, as well as artists that have achieved two or more top 10s on Billboard's "Hot" song genre charts that blend streaming, airplay and sales data (such as the Hot Country Songs, the Hot Rock Songs, the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs, and the Hot Latin Songs) or consumption-based "Top" album genre rankings (including counterpart charts the Top Country Albums, the Top Rock Albums, the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, and the Top Latin Albums)". Portugal. The Man became the first number-one artist on the revamped Emerging Artists chart on the issue dated September 2, 2017.
