This is an important note from the guy who gives us our 51 through 100 updates.

Dear PMBers:
I guess with me being upset over Adam Lambert not winning American Idol, there has to be some more upsetting news to follow it.
Ever since the links first appeared on the R&R Boards back in 2003, I’ve been constantly viewing the Mediabase rolling charts to check up on my favorite songs, just as you guys have. It’s a really helpful tool, and I’m glad we had free access to them for quite a while.
Since late October, I’ve been providing you with 51-100 Mediabase Pop (and then Country and Alternative) updates, as well as individual songs’ updates, and I can’t thank you enough for all the “thank you”’s and support you’ve given me these past few months. I’m really glad I could do something for you guys, as I was once in your shoes, wondering what happened to these free Mediabase links on that July day in 2008.
Unfortunately, it looks like I’ve returned to a familiar position.
On the night of the 19th, I logged onto my Mediabase account, only to find a “Mediabase Security Alert” page load instead of the usual MB interface. I immediately notified Mediabase, only to find that the account had been revoked for unknown reasons. Since I was given my login information by a person who is no longer working for the company (former president Rich Meyer), I’m afraid there’s nothing I can do and there will be no more 51-100 Chart Updates or early AT40s coming from me in the near future.
Since I guess it was my main job to provide Mediabase stats for you guys, and I no longer have those, my time here on PMB may be wrapping up. I think you guys are a great community, and I’m really sorry that I’ve failed you. Once again, I do appreciate everyone who has been supportive of the data I’ve posted and who I’ve helped along the way. Maybe, someday, Mediabase will loosen up a bit and give us more data, but until then, I’m afraid we’re stuck with AllAccess and Inside Radio’s shortened charts.
With a heavy heart,
Adam
