Alternative Songs - 21-50

[jdmasta289]

Does anyone have charting song numbers 21 through 50 for every week in 2009 for the Mediabase Alt. Chart?

I have kept records for the previous three or four reasons, but I lost my copies for this year after my computer crashed.

Not to be pushy, but nobody has kept records of these songs? I wish AllAccess or Mediabase or someone kept archives of actual charts...unless I pay for Billboard to see a slightly different version, I have no idea where, say, "Wishing Well" peaked. Damn.

sorry man, i dont bother to keep any chart histories like that.

I don't have 'em, but you can always get them from Mediabase with the tried and true login. Username ucla, password class.

I guess I could've PM'd him that if I'd thought about it, and I know it's already public in at least one other topic (and that's just in the Alternative/Rock forum alone, which I got it from, of course). But I'm concerned if that information gets too widespread, someone will fuck it up for all of us, and either the account owner or Mediabase will change the password (and maybe the account name too) so that none of us curious and honest, unwashed, common folk can access it anymore.

That's been my concern from the start, but at this point it's been mentioned so many times on this forum I don't really care anymore.

I can edit the post if you want.

Plus, since that account was made for a class the name/password will presumably be deactivated at the end of the semester (i.e., in the next week or so) anyway.

You spoke too soon...

Oh well that blows. It was fun while it lasted.

[Shadows in the Dark]

Damn it, well hopefully it'll be back next semester.

::sighs:: Oh well. Back to using All Access for me.

OK, thanks everyone. A source (I won't name who) has e-mailed me copies. Coppiiiiess!!!!

So, I'm set. I really, really wonder why AllAccess or Mediabase doesn't keep weekly records and make them public. They would really benefit from such an idea. Then again, they are notoriously disorganized.

Aside from Mediabase arbitrarily purging songs and failing to notice when songs should or should not go recurrent occasionally, what "notorious disorganization" of both companies are you referring to? And I'm assuming Mediabase couldn't afford to do business if they made their enormous archives available to the general public. Pertinent radio station employees (who all this information is collected for in the first place) would just be able to see everything they need for nothing. Although, is there plenty of archived information that's outdated (and therefore irrelevant) that could be made public for amateur hobbyists like ourselves without any seemingly evident harm to their business? I would think so, yes.

How so? I probably should have distinguished the actual business from their actual chart-compiling. I have no idea how the business operates. I mean, songs getting removed weeks early or late, as you alluded to, and entire press releases based on false information getting released? Those are major checker-marks on their credibility.
