This is a fairly difficult achievement, and will only be had by practice and skill. The most important piece is time; the seconds remaining when you finish multiplies your score by its square (2 secs = x4, 3 secs = x9, etc).
Your highest combo multiplied by 1000 is also added to your score, but base score and max combo shouldn't be an issue if you're avoiding getting death and keeping rhythm.
I do believe the exact seconds are used, but the end screen shows only rounded numbers. For example, my achievement popped with 682,650 base score + 400 combo * 22 seconds.
(Score + (Combo*1000)) * (Seconds*Seconds)
((682,650) + (400*1000)) * (22^2)
((682,650) + (400,000)) * (484)
1,082,650 * 484
= 524,002,600, while my actual was 524,519,600.
So pick a level that you like, and learn every inch of it. Doesn't hurt to hit
on beat when you're just waiting or traveling in a straight line. I often used 
on one beat, and then on the opposite, since the dash takes two beats to complete.

This took me longer than it should. I’m no good at platformers, so it took me hours of non stop restarts. After two 424,000,000 runs, I finally killed it with a 844,086,250.

Looking at this guide I thought the score “cap” would have been very close to the 500 million point threshold needed for the achievement. I ended up getting 2,671,526,000 points o.O 989,000 w/ 545 combo and 33 seconds left

Kaelse wrote an excellent guide.
Just wanted to add a couple of things:
- I did it on the first time attack level, because it's fairly simple. You just have to figure out the sections where you have to gather the yellow orbs, but once you get that it's an easy ride.
- I have a feeling that hitting x and then jumping (X ---> A) makes you move faster. Rather than pressing only x, do this when you can. Also remember to press B following the rhythm when your little guy is in the air and you can't do nothing but wait for him to land. This really helped getting a higher combo.
When I unlocked the achievement I had a lower score than Kaelse's, something like 27/28 seconds left on the timer and a fair 200something max combo.
I made only one mistake in the very last room (the one with the four yellow orbs and the green moving platforms). I also missed one clock (the one floating in the air where you must use 4 green platforms to reach the other side). Other than that I did rush, but not too much. Go fast, but try to avoid mistakes: as Kaelse pointed out, time is the key and making a mistake not only kills your combo (and that could be ok I guess), but it also takes one precious second away each time you hit the button off-rhythm.
