I'm not quite sure where to put this topic, but I guess here is as good as anywhere.
A few years ago, Dawn posted a link to a website which contained several pages of lists of the Billboard Top 40 and Top 100 from every year from 1955 through 2003. Nearly your own personal free Whitburn! It was put together by someone named Gramble. I used this site frequently since then if I forgot a song, artist, chart position, etc., especially if I didn't have a Whitburn handy.
Well, a couple of months ago, the site went belly up. Of course, I was sorry that I hadn't made .mht copies of the pages.
Then I remembered the "wayback machine" and similar sites. I found the old Gramble pages and was able to download them in their entirety to my hard drive in about 10 or 12 files totalling just a few MB.
If you're interested, simply go to waybackmachine.org/
and put in the link www.gramble.com/music/top40.html and you'll see all the pages that they have archived. Save what you want to your harddrive.
