This was posted in the top 50 pop chart thread: Don't fret yet! This has happened twice before with this site, and both times it was back within a week or so. Although this is certainly the longest break between updating the creator has ever done, so the chance of them abandoning it entirely and losing the site is higher this time than the last two times, but I've still got my fingers crossed! It'll be a tragedy if it's for sure gone this time. I actually did contact Graham on this, and this is what he said: "Jack, unfortunately I’ve had to pull the site down because of same copyright bots. I’m not sure if/when I’ll be able to get it back up. Sorry!" So I guess he will bring the site back up eventually. |

Oh no! We need that archive! I don't where to reach him, but someone needs to reach out to him and let him know how much we all appreciate and are grateful for all the time and hard work he put into creating that site! It's always been incredibly resourceful!
Does anyone have links to sites with similar chart archives?

Hey everyone, I am so sorry about the hiatus that the archive site went on - as you might know if you messaged me, I was contacted by an annoying 'copyright' bot or some such that threatened fines because of one of the pictures I used on the artist pages, so to be on the safe side I pulled everything down temporarily. I'm removing all the images from the site and should HOPEFULLY have it back online - at the same web address(es) as before, but without the artist pictures.
I appreciate everyone's kind words on here and was just as frustrated as you about having to take it down! As for all the great ideas about creating an alternate archive/spreadsheet, other formats, etc. those are all great ideas. For my part, I don't know if I'll be able to update the new song runs since 2022 but maybe I'll be able to get to those eventually. For now, enjoy the pages in their current state once it's back up.

Good news everyone - the site is back up! Thanks for your patience. YAY!!! I did have a question though, are you including updates since 2020? I checked some artists like Taylor Swift and Ariana Grande and their last entries on the site are from the early days of COVID lockdown in Spring 2020. |

Unfotunately not - I haven't been able to update songs since then due to a lack of time. Maybe eventually but no guarantees.

Would you be willing to let people help? I'm sure there are plenty of people here who could help and who have the data readily available to update and input!

Thanks for the offers to help all - I've got it back to where I can update songs again. I'm back to songs that fell off in Sept 2020, so it'll take awhile, but be patient! I'll get caught up eventually :)
