I'm working on another personal project, and was wondering if anyone could point me to a place where I can find recent Billboard Radio chart data (including weekly number of plays). I would like to have the info for both current and recurrent listings for each week in the last few months. Any help would be appreciated.

JMD1961: Billboard & longtime #1 go-to radio station trade magazine Radio & Records (R&R) are now owned by the same company. There are promos for an upcoming "www.BillboardRadioMonitor.com" site, for launching "this fall", but nothing appears to be there yet. If you go to www.radioandrecords.com/radiomonitor/charts/chart_index.jsp, and select "CHR/Top 40" under Top 40, I believe you will find what it is you are looking for.

Thanks. I already know about this, and is what inspired my project. Unfortunately, it doesn't archive past weeks. The Billboard.biz site does, but only lists the chart positions, not the play data.
Basically, I'm trying to create personal charts that don't remove the recurrents after a certain time period. So, without the play data, I'm stuck.
Still, thanks. I do appreciate the help. (Don't want to leave the impression that I don't. ^_^ )

I'm sure past weeks are archived in their system, for at least a year or so, sir, but I doubt there would be any way for you to obtain it without having to contact/shell out some $$$ to the publication for it. It's actually a bit surprising to me we can get that current data for free, IMHO. Maybe Chuck ("cmmmbase" on this Board) who helps to gather such spin info for Mediabase, may have additional insight on non-current info for you.

From perusing Mediabase's website, Mediabase doesn't appear to archive the weekly spincount. One can find out spins per month in their year to date function, but that's not what you're looking for. On the other hand, you can track spincount on a day to day basis for what it's worth...

Oh, well. It was just an idea. Thanks to everyone. I'll just have to move forward, not back.
