Title says it all. I know they've had a history of going offline from time to time, but this time it's been longer than ever before.
Wonder if Ultimate Music Database's Billboard charts are gone for good?

Ha! I got on this morning and tried UMD Music, and got one of those generic "domain lookup" pages--was about ready to post that it did appear to be gone for good. But just read jmorgan's post, tried it again, and it is indeed back online.

I might have discovered the reason why the site was down for as long as it was: now when you go to a chart, the songs that entered the Hot 100 that week are in blue blocks instead of the usual turquoise. Here's an example from the 7/16/1983 chart:  |

LOL, as your picture proves, they're not perfect with it - note the two songs that went from "bubbling under" to enter the Hot 100 yet still aren't highlighted in blue.

Freshened look with the new song title font and the blue highlights and all, but they did not fix any of the errors from what I could see. Still have "Love Fire" by Jigsaw instead of "Get Closer" by Seals and Crofts on the summer 76 charts, for example.
...and "Please Don't Go" is still cheated out of it's week at #1!

And speaking of summer 1976, Bob Marley's only US Hot 100 single, "Roots Rock Reggae", is still credited to Crystal Gayle.  |
