Question: The "Billboard" 200 is a record chart ranking the 200 most popular music albums and EPs in the United States. It is published weekly by "Billboard" magazine. It is frequently used to convey the popularity of an artist or groups of artists. Often, a recording act will be remembered by its "number ones", those of their albums that outperformed all others during at least one week.

The chart is based mostly on sales (both at retail and digital) of albums in the United States. The weekly sales period was originally Monday to Sunday when Nielsen started tracking sales in 1991, but since July 2015, tracking week begins on Friday (to coincide with the Global Release Date of the music industry) and ends on Thursday. A new chart is published the following Tuesday with an issue post-dated to the Saturday of the following week. The chart's streaming schedule is also tracked from Friday to Thursday.

New product is released to the American market on Fridays. Digital downloads of albums are also included in "Billboard" 200 tabulation. Albums that are not licensed for retail sale in the United States (yet purchased in the U.S. as imports) are not eligible to chart. A long-standing policy which made titles that are sold exclusively by specific retail outlets (such as Walmart and Starbucks) ineligible for charting, was reversed on November 7, 2007, and took effect in the issue dated November 17. 1. what is the chart based on?

Question: (EW.com) -- Rebel Wilson will emcee the 2013 MTV Movie Awards, the network announced Thursday in a "first look" trailer that aired during the "Jersey Shore" finale.

Set to air on April 14, this is the "Pitch Perfect" star's first time hosting, and the first time a woman has hosted since Sarah Silverman's stint in 2007.

On top of the delightful news that Amy Poehler and Tina Fey are hosting the Golden Globes this year, we're hoping the female comedian-as-host trend continues.

Take a look at the trailer, featuring Wilson herself, here.

After her over-the-top roles in "Bridesmaids" and "Pitch Perfect," we can't wait to see her signature comedy style on the annual awards show.

In the show's 20 year history, the hosts have been inconsistent. Remember Jessica Alba in 2006? Lindsay Lohan even hosted one year but her one-off hosting gig in 2004 was during a more innocent time for the troubled starlet.

'Parks and Rec': Jenny Slate to guest as...

Since 2007, single comedian hosts have reclaimed the show, including Andy Samberg, Aziz Ansari, Jason Sudeikis, and Russell Brand. When it comes to keeping an awards show amusing, comedians generally have the advantage over actors.

Mindy Kaling for 2014? Just a thought.

Question: (CNN) -- When David Green, 22, graduated from Western Washington University in December, he applied for dozens of jobs, from fast food to secretarial positions -- sending out more than 50 resumes and scoring only two interviews in the process.

The organization Reach to Teach has seen a 100 percent increase in applications to teach English in Asia.

"It was horrible. I couldn't find anything," said Green, a history and social studies major.

With few employment options in his hometown of Bellingham, Washington, Green applied to teach English in a South Korean middle school through Reach to Teach, an organization that assists college graduates with finding teaching positions in Asia. Green, who counts trips to Canada as his only experience abroad, will be leaving for Seoul on March 20 for one year.

"I am scared. I've only had one major breakdown so far, ... but I'm really excited about being on my own ... somewhere completely new where I know absolutely no one," he said.

Like Green, many recent college graduates are searching for alternatives to jumping into the job market in the face of the recession. An increasing number of young Americans are searching out paid positions teaching English in countries like South Korea, Japan, China and Spain as a means to expand their horizons and weather the economic doldrums.

Mitch Gordon, director of school relations for Reach to Teach, said his organization has seen more than a 100 percent increase in applications in the last six months, with 3,784 applicants compared to 1,488 during the same six-month period last year. The application system doesn't track U.S. applicants separately, but Gordon estimates more than 70 percent are from the United States. 1. What is the main organization featured in this article?
