Our very own PC member Jeff has kindly linked this website in his personal chart and I personally think it would be great as a side aim for anyone who wants to, to post their weekly charts over there as well. It's basically the same as The Personal Charts Forum where you can input your chart and then everyweek Multichart is created!
The link is below.

Posted by: danG 16th September 2016, 12:12 PM

how exactly do you use this website? I'm confused. I accidentally made about 6 charts trying to find the right 'Trouble' to put as my #1.

Posted by: JSG 16th September 2016, 07:27 PM

I had this problem myself. I've messaged Jeff and hopefully I'll have the full instructions on how to compile it properly soon!

Hi there! I'm Kurt, the creator of Crownnote - I saw referrals in Google Analytics coming from here this morning and thought I'd pop in to thank you for sharing the link to the site and offer any help that I can. Crownnote's in somewhat of a beta stage right now: I'm aiming for a semi-official launch date of October 10, but you can certainly start using it now!

If you keep your charts in a spreadsheet, you can format them into a CSV that automatically uploads them; details on that at crownnote dot com/how-to-import-a-chart-from-a-spreadsheet You can also pick them manually when adding a chart by entering the position and the song title, though as was pointed out, it doesn't show the artist and album info yet, so it's possible to pick the wrong one. (That's one of the things I'm hoping to revisit and potentially fix this weekend. )

If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know here or by messaging me on Crownnote (the contact form also goes to my email, if you haven't signed up yet to use the messaging system)! Glad to see several new faces on board already.

I like this concept, I will take a more detailed look later on when I'm more awake!

Thank you Kurt

just added 2 of my charts, this week's and last week's. on this week's chart, it lists all the songs as new rather than showing their position changes from last week, so i feel i may have done something wrong? (maybe because i posted this week's chart before last week's? idk.) nvm, i edited it and it seems to have fixed itself.

this is a cool idea though, will be making use of it!

edit: oh and if you guys are inputting songs manually like i did, you can search the songs and look up their pages, and if you hover over the like button, the NID should be in the url preview, which you should be able to match when you choose one of the song suggestions.

Posted by: Taylor Jago 17th September 2016, 10:22 AM

Does the site send you an email for you to choose an password or something? Because I've just created an account and I can't log in, I've received no instructions for a password!

Posted by: Taylor Jago 17th September 2016, 10:23 AM

And what is the C column for?

Posted by: dhwe 17th September 2016, 10:48 AM

yeah, you should've been sent an email. might be in your spam folder though so check there.

I've also signed up and have the same problem as Taylor. No email in main or junk

Posted by: Taylor Jago 17th September 2016, 11:34 AM

Found it!

Posted by: Taylor Jago 17th September 2016, 11:36 AM

I do find it bizarre that my Gmail account considered an authenfication email spam when my previous Mail account let a "Simple cure for Diabetes" spam email into the main emails.

Posted by: Spandora's Boxx 17th September 2016, 11:49 AM

I am trying to make a chart but when I publish it I get:

Song: found no valid post with that title.

Several times

Posted by: Taylor Jago 17th September 2016, 12:11 PM

I've entered 17 songs so far and I've received that message 5 times.

Edit: Click the Music tab, then Add Songs, and add all the songs you need.

Posted by: Ðøßßø 17th September 2016, 01:35 PM

Made an account but can't upload a chart as my current #1 isn't in the database & it's not letting me add it, sorry.

Posted by: dhwe 17th September 2016, 01:55 PM

you guys can add songs to the database, i had to add like 8 of mine

Posted by: Ðøßßø 17th September 2016, 01:58 PM

I have tried but when I upload the cover art it says:

"An unrecoverable error occurred. The uploaded file likely exceeded the maximum file size (2 MB) that this server supports."

Despite the file being only 36KB.

Edit: oh never mind it's working now

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 17th September 2016, 02:30 PM

I still haven't received any email? Is it just me?

Posted by: danG 17th September 2016, 02:51 PM

I'm trying to import again and it's not working. It says the last import was 21 hours ago too so it can't be just me.

Posted by: Spandora's Boxx 17th September 2016, 04:02 PM

Ah, will try that later thanks

I think most songs in my chart will have to be added in

Posted by: Ðøßßø 17th September 2016, 04:03 PM

After a good while I've finally posted one, however I'm unsure how to add climbs/drops/weeks on chart.

Posted by: Taylor Jago 17th September 2016, 04:28 PM

After ages of adding one in two songs in my top 100 this week, I've finally added my chart;

• Four songs (Under Pressure, Dancing On My Own, Faded and Ghost) have different artists.
• My chart has been published five times.

However, when I added last week's chart, the positions did update, so that's good.

Posted by: JeffRayGun 17th September 2016, 04:44 PM

Hooray! I'm glad to see this gaining traction!

As Kurt said, it's still in beta, so there's some kinks to be worked out still. That said, he's been working hard to add new features to the site. In fact, the "last week changes" feature was added very recently!

I'll try to follow some of the peeps from here! If you want to see my daily updates, you can follow me as well! I have the same username as I do here.

EDIT: I see some people are leaving duplicate charts... You can delete them from the edit section, actually

Posted by: JSG 17th September 2016, 05:14 PM

I'll add in my new chart tomorrow to the website if I'm not too hungover I'm legit on my way to a wedding reception soon 🤗

Posted by: danG 17th September 2016, 05:51 PM

still having trouble importing my chart for last week.

Posted by: mdh 17th September 2016, 06:37 PM

This is slightly doing my head in for now, although I'm gonna properly get my head around it tomorrow

Posted by: Kurt 17th September 2016, 07:30 PM

Yeah, if everything shows as new, resaving it and/or last week's charts should resolve it. Working on the ability to have those rescan every night or something. What you said about song NIDs is correct too, though eventually it'll show the artist and album title below once you've selected a song so you'll know if your selection was correct.



I got a "mail delivery failed" message when your registration email was supposed to go out - if you want to PM me your correct email address, I'll fix your account.


Hmm, me too - I'll see if there's anything I can do about that on my end. (It might just be that it didn't come from a @crownnote.com email address since I haven't set one up yet.)


As others have said, you'll need to create the song before you can include it in your chart. I've updated the help text below the Songs field to help make that a little more clear. (More documentation is coming soon too.)


I tried an old import and it went through - are you getting an error message?


Climbs/drops get added automatically (as I said above, if they all show as New, try resaving it and the previous week's chart for now); weeks on chart and peak aren't done yet (that's why all of them show "26" and a blank right now, lol; only temporary).


I'll take a look in the logs to see if I can determine how it would've published your chart multiple times, because I haven't seen that happening yet, but as Jeff pointed out, you can delete the duplicates.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 17th September 2016, 07:36 PM

I have PM'ed you my secondary email account, hopefully that'll work!

Posted by: danG 17th September 2016, 07:43 PM

No error message. I add the .csv file, and then when I press import the page just refreshes, and I have to re-add the file if I want to press import again.

Posted by: Ðøßßø 17th September 2016, 08:22 PM

Thanks for the assistance, it's working fine now.

Posted by: awardinary 17th September 2016, 08:55 PM

I've just completed my first chart on your site!

http://crownnote.com/charts/awardinary/top-40-countdown-by-awardinary

Posted by: Kurt 17th September 2016, 09:06 PM

Aha - remove the apostrophes from your file name and it'll import. I added some text to clarify that on the import pages.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 18th September 2016, 01:45 AM

Posted my first chart!

Looking forward for the chart-runs and week features to be working and is there a way I can add the movement's (e.g. up 2, down 4 etc) into my chart now?

Posted by: Taylor Jago 18th September 2016, 07:52 AM

Add last week's chart. Unfortunately, the site seems to have crashed (or something), so you'll need to wait a bit.

Posted by: Taylor Jago 18th September 2016, 07:59 AM

Actually, I think I'll use the duplicates to add in previous charts, since you can move the songs about.

The site's back up now!

Posted by: danG 18th September 2016, 08:17 AM

oh thanks. I'll rename it Thermos Hot Hits then for my next import.

Posted by: mdh 18th September 2016, 08:39 AM

Posted my first chart I've got the hang of it now, nice interface and simple to use, I hope that we can make something of this website permanently.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 18th September 2016, 10:43 AM

This is an excellent idea and resource - there are a few issues in adding charts (it seems to add a chart each time you preview leading to duplicates) but otherwise its a huge thumbs up from me. If I had the time I would like to archive my charts as it looks like you can do that quite easily!

Posted by: mdh 18th September 2016, 10:44 AM

Oh by the way, when you compose a new chart do you have to create it completely seperately or can you base it on a template of the last chart (if that makes sense?)

Posted by: Taylor Jago 18th September 2016, 01:13 PM

Slight issue:

In the leaderboard, when a song has two main artists, or two featured artists, the song appears twice.

Posted by: Doctor Blind 18th September 2016, 01:22 PM

That also appears to happen if the album the song is taken from has a comma in it!?

E.g. Underworld is doubling on my leaderboard for “Nylon Strung” because the album it is taken from is called Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future which it thinks are two separate albums!

Posted by: Kurt 18th September 2016, 04:49 PM

Nice catch - that must have been how people were making duplicates yesterday. I've actually disabled the Preview button on charts for now since they don't display useful information (e.g. the actual song titles).


That's one of the issues that has sadly been on my list for months, haha. It multiplies the points by the number of artists/albums in some places too.



Fixed that one - if an album or an artist has a comma in its name, surround it in double quotes so it doesn't think it's two albums separated by a comma: "Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future"

Posted by: danG 18th September 2016, 05:16 PM

the leaderboard thing's an issue for me too, though I admit it's quite funny seeing 'Crank It (Woah!)' on the list four separate times

Posted by: awardinary 18th September 2016, 06:25 PM

Yes it is iPad, and no it's not, but it might just be the Safari internet browser.

Also some formatting issues shown here too.

I pulled it up on my iPad using Safari and it's OK after a refresh, so reloading the page might do the trick for you too - I also just cleared the cache so it should force the browser to get the new CSS updates. PM me if not and I'll see what else is causing it!

All working fine now Kurt, thanks.

OK I've finally got the hang of this I think, I've added my last 2 charts! Although one query - are the up/down/etc arrows meant to appear by themselves? Because my most recent chart still has "new" for everything...

Posted by: danG 20th September 2016, 02:51 PM

I believe you have to click edit and then save to get the arrows working but hopefully that's something Kurt is working on.

Posted by: JosephStyles 20th September 2016, 03:03 PM

Oh brilliant, thanks Dan! Now working perfectly

Posted by: Cameron 20th September 2016, 03:07 PM

Yeah, I have no idea how to work this and am struggling to actually get songs on my chart at the edit page. The 'Songs' bit is confusing me, how do you add them? How do you know it's the right song? What do you put in the 'Body' section?

Posted by: Kurt 20th September 2016, 03:15 PM

You'll need to first make a Chart that includes 9172016-toffonews as your Chart ID field. Then, import the spreadsheet, but before you do, you'll need to reformat it a little bit: see crownnote dot com/how-to-import-a-chart-from-a-spreadsheet with instructions and a spreadsheet that you can copy and use yourself (mostly, the main and featured artists need to be in separate columns, and your slug field will fill out automatically with the correct values, stripping out punctuation and spaces).


Dan is right about previous positions requiring a resave and that those will be improved down the line.

Cameron: "Body" is an optional field on a chart that you can use for descriptive content that displays above your chart. (Chart Notes does the same, just below it; people wanted both options.) Once you enter the title of a song, you can compare the NID to the song you get at crownnote dot com/node/(that NID) to confirm it's correct; eventually, the artist name and possibly album will appear there as well.

I'm rather displeased at having to press Load More 9 times in order to view one of my charts in full.

Also, it refuses to add 10 more rows so that I can add the last 10 songs in my chart, and the chart history thing shows the peak and weeks as the entire chart run, instead of until that point. And I really wish whoever is creating duplicates would stop, it just makes making charts more annoying, and you can check in all content whether the song you want is up.

Apart for those issues, it's a great site!

Posted by: JosephStyles 1st October 2016, 02:07 PM

Yeah I must admit, I don't like the "load more" feature otherwise it's all looking good to me, loving the fact it now shows peak and weeks on chart! (although mine is kinda inaccurate as not all of my charts are uploaded but oh well, that'll fix itself in time)

Posted by: Ðøßßø 1st October 2016, 02:39 PM

Yeah it didn't used to have the load more 10 songs thing, preferred seeing the whole chart in one go.

The only other issue I have is when creating a chart & entering a song I've no idea which version is the correct one. For example I type in Dive & about 5 possible options come up & the only way of knowing the one you want is to remember the IDs of each song which is a bit of a hassle.

Posted by: Kurt 2nd October 2016, 11:22 PM

Hi all! I've been on vacation for the last week with limited internet access - did a lot of work on my local dev installation of the site, and you'll see updates roll out over the next couple days to add and adjust some things.

Load More is going away - I'll be replacing it with an infinite scroll layout for now where ten songs at a time will load. That's not ideal, but in order to pull in the peak and weeks on chart, the page has to take a little more time to load each song, and if there are too many songs (25 was OK; 40+ wasn't), the page crashes instead of loading everything. I have some additional performance-related improvements I'm going to look into over the next week now that I'm on stable internet again, so hopefully I can get that back to not even needing infinite scroll and loading everything at once.



Peak and weeks on chart aren't super accurate just yet - they currently show the all-time peak/week count, rather than the count relative to the chart you're viewing. I think I'm very close to getting that worked out, but hit a snag when I was working on it locally last night.


Still working on showing the artist and album once you select a song; I have a way that sort of works, but isn't in the state I want it yet. That's priority #1 over the next week once I get these other updates in.

Posted by: JSG 3rd October 2016, 04:50 AM

I think the easiest way to keep doing a chart is open up an old chart in edit mode and then comparing your song nid to what you've put in previously. It would be good if there was a way for the database to merge the songs that have the same artist and track title for more cohesiveness and ease of use though. Overall I'm enjoying using it. Actually have to add all my old charts still but I will do that soon!

Posted by: Kurt 10th October 2016, 10:09 PM

Hi everyone! Just wanted to give an update that Crownnote has now officially launched and is out of beta. Thanks to those of you who joined early and helped fix some bugs! I'm certainly far from done making updates, though, so keep an eye on the site's blog for more updates soon, including improvements to manually adding songs.

Posted by: honeyG 11th October 2016, 10:27 AM

Yay!

I'm still getting everything being a re-entry when I import a chart before I edit it, just so you know as something to fix~

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 11th October 2016, 05:40 PM

Quick question - is there a reason why the 'position' field isn't automatically filled out? Just that it means I have to spend an extra 5 minutes writing numbers from 1 to 40

Posted by: Kurt 12th October 2016, 01:52 PM

Just that I'm not yet aware of a way to do it automatically, but I'd definitely like to – it's high on my list of things to look into.

Posted by: jafetsigfinns 12th October 2016, 01:54 PM

Ooh this looks great! I'll definitely be adding some charts on there after work today!

Posted by: honeyG 15th October 2016, 12:26 PM

the Crown 100 is coming this Monday, it'd be interesting to see how similar it will be to our own Multichart

Posted by: JSG 16th October 2016, 06:38 AM

I got half way through my chart yesterday and had to add a song. When I added it I went to put it in my chart but it didn't come up so I went to save it so I could Edit my chart again and add it in and in the end it came up with an error message and I lost the whole thing

Posted by: Kurt 17th October 2016, 02:16 AM

Several of you asked about this, and it's now (finally - took all weekend! lol) improved! You'll see the name(s) of the artist(s) when trying to add songs to a chart or albums to a song.

First Crown 100 coming tomorrow - either midday or later in the evening (Eastern time), depending on whether or not I can get it tabulated before bed tonight. lol

Posted by: awardinary 18th October 2016, 01:49 PM

I enjoyed looking through the Crown 100 today, saw lots of my own entries as well as many others from varying genres!

Looking forward to seeing how this changes in the weeks to come.

Posted by: dhwe 21st October 2016, 02:52 AM

just another small suggestion—i'm seeing a number of duplicate songs and it would be cool to have a way to merge them so they don't end up appearing twice on the crown 100 or something.

good to see this finally officially launched!

Posted by: Taylor Jago 21st October 2016, 04:19 PM

Whenever I enter a song whose title is a single world, it will not show the song up. Which is going to be a problem for quite a few songs in my personal chart this week.

Posted by: Kurt 21st October 2016, 05:40 PM

I have a way to merge those myself – it's too dangerous (lol, but really) to let everyone do it – so the way you can let me know there's a duplicate is by going to the song page of the duplicate and clicking on the flag icon. (I have a somewhat lengthy backlog of those that I plan to get to this weekend.)



My plan this weekend is to fix that so you can type in artist names too – it makes the search a little slower, but will help fix that problem. For now, you can manually type in SONG TITLE (NID), e.g. "Gold (8327)."

Posted by: JSG 31st October 2016, 05:28 AM

It's great that you can now see all the song titles and artists but I would suggest collating all the tracks with the same artist and title to make it a little but simpler again.

Posted by: awardinary 25th November 2016, 12:26 PM

Has the site changed again as my chart no longer displays the artwork for each entry?

Posted by: Kurt 29th November 2016, 09:15 PM

I see artwork on your latest chart – was this just a temporary issue? (Sorry – I didn't get an email notification for your reply here, so I didn't notice this until now.)

Posted by: awardinary 29th November 2016, 09:17 PM

You're right, all seems back to how it was before, must have been a small glitch, it reformatted how the charts displayed when I created them, I'll let you know if it happens again when I next compile my chart.

Thanks Kurt.

Posted by: 🏆award🏆inary 10th December 2016, 08:23 PM

I was just curious to know how everyone was getting on with Crownnote since it was first promoted on this site early Autumn.

I think it is excellent, and it is proving to be an incredibly useful tool for my personal charts. For the record, I only commenced my personal charts a week or two before I was aware of Crownnote existence. I like how I can easily see what my top songs from the year are using the annual leaderboard, and this will prove an awesome tool for 2017.

I'd like to personally thank Kurt for the hours of time and effort put into making the whole experience of Crownnote a positive one and for becoming a member of this community in 2016.

What do you think of Crownnote?

Do you view other people's charts through this site?

How could it be improved?

Posted by: JSG 15th January 2017, 04:07 PM

I keep getting an error when my chart is compiled it it either won't show how many weeks or the peak position of the charting song.

Posted by: JSG 15th January 2017, 04:08 PM

I'd actually really like to see a chart run feature added for the chart also.

Posted by: Kurt 16th January 2017, 03:07 AM

Is the error you were seeing a popup message that mentions a 508 unused error? That's the one I'm seeing occasionally and I'm looking for a fix.

Chart runs probably aren't feasible to add to the individual chart pages themselves because they'd slow down the page too much, but they are accessible from the song pages.

Posted by: JSG 16th January 2017, 04:55 AM

Okay thanks for that. I Can't remember what the error is but I know it was giving me like 4 or 5 pop up messages. When I find find what it is again I'll let you know!

Thank you for these screenshots – I'm fairly certain this is due to the server hitting its resource limits (in a way, a good thing – it means the site is getting more traffic!), and I've sent in a support ticket to my hosting company to work on upgrading the server to have more space.


Hmm, if you see this again, could you screenshot the error you see? If I'm understanding what you're explaining correctly, I thought I'd fixed that, so I'd like to confirm whether or not it's the same issue. (edit: never mind; I just saw it while editing someone else's. hmm.)

There seems to be a slight issue for entering Lana Del Rey's Love into a chart. There's nine different song nodes for it, but not a single one comes up when I type in "love".

Out of curiosity who still uses this service and who has stopped using it?

Posted by: danG 14th July 2018, 11:36 AM

I stopped quite a while ago, it already takes enough of my time to make my chart on Buzzjack let alone get around Crownnote too (had quite a few problems with it when I used it too) and the effort just wasn't worth it in the end.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 14th July 2018, 11:51 AM

Yeah I stopped around the start of the year, it's a great resource and database but it took way too much time to make (whereas I just use Excel to format my Personal Chart to Buzzjack's standards for me once I've ranked the songs).

Posted by: awardinary 16th July 2018, 01:48 AM

Ah ok, that’s a shame as it’s an excellent concept, but yes it does cause additional work to compose when you’re already typing up your personal al chart on BuzzJack anyway. I shall not continue to use it myself then, and it would seem the creator of that site no longer visits BuzzJack anymore.

Posted by: sergejdordij98 16th July 2018, 06:37 AM

I still use it.

Posted by: awardinary 30th November 2020, 09:15 PM

Just wanted to know if anyone here still makes use of this website as it’s been a while since I was serious about keeping a personal chart and I was debating whether I should make use of this platform again...

I agree that it is time consuming especially when many here use spreadsheets to make their personal charts. Perhaps that’s why I was less inclined to revisit this platform straight away, but for what it offered I was impressed, but the. If I, being honest I don’t think I used it to view other people’s charts which sort of defeats the purpose of using it in the first place unless it’s to keep a personal database of your own chart entries I suppose.

So does anybody else here still use Crownnote?

I was reading this thread the other day. I can pin it again if you'd like, I'm gonna start using it again once I get my laptop.

Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 30th November 2020, 09:25 PM

There have been a few times I've considered trying it again but there still doesn't seem to be an easy way of porting my Excel charts in, and the last blog post on there was in December 2017 which sort-of makes me think it's been forgotton about.

Posted by: awardinary 30th November 2020, 09:34 PM

I think I’m going to start using it again, I was playing around with the site this evening and it still works well. Pin it!

Posted by: awardinary 30th November 2020, 09:35 PM

If you look at this page you’ll see there are still many active users posting charts this very week!

http://crownnote.com/charts

So it still seems popular even if it has been neglected or forgotten about by the person who made it.

Posted by: Sergej 1st December 2020, 05:18 AM

I've been there since 2016 and I still use it!

Posted by: toffochews 1st December 2020, 10:57 AM

I started using it again, but still unable to import a chart, throws up errors. I just put my chart up in the notes.

Posted by: Cow Cow 3rd January 2022, 04:50 AM

For those who are still using Crownnote, what are your thoughts about the redesign?

Posted by: awardinary 3rd January 2022, 12:18 PM

Giving it a go this morning, it's been very buggy for one thing, frequent request timeouts, and lots of lag loading pages.

I'm not sure I like the new interface either, it doesn't exactly improve much on the old one in my views, and it has taken away little features that I would use to make my own personal chart including the ability to add multiple rows for new songs at the start, rather than having to individually add a new entry every time you want to add a song. Also, I can't find a way to search for songs like before when I could locate a song, find the one with the most usages, and then copy the song number into my chart.

It will take some getting used to, but first impressions aren't too positive so far.

Posted by: newsting 3rd January 2022, 12:28 PM

I liked the outro part from the old format but what bothers me the most is that a lot of the artwork has been removed, especially for my chart songs. I have spent like a significant chunk of time to download and upload artwork. It will be a shame if I have to do that to all the songs again.

Posted by: Sergej 3rd January 2022, 12:41 PM

The Designs look nice, but it has problems, a lot of problems.
I can't open my own chart, the cover artwork for some Songs are gone and I heard that after creating a chart error messages are shows, also the load times are long.
Not a great first impression for me.

Posted by: awardinary 3rd January 2022, 05:02 PM

At least they have acknowledged issues loading the leaderboards today.

Posted by: Cow Cow 3rd January 2022, 09:49 PM

Leaderboard range is something that I need right now. Not for the points, but for the artist's chart history featured in my EOY 100. Hope they could fix it soon.

Posted by: newsting 4th January 2022, 04:05 PM

It's a disaster area honestly. They managed to remove a majority of the cover art of songs and also unlink the album that the song belongs to. The general search bar now shows fewer results than before, e.g. you won't be able to find the chart where it contains the text in the search bar, or you can't find the song by typing both the artist and song name. You now have to create new songs and albums separately, whereas previously you can do it on the go while creating a new chart. This is especially troublesome for chartsters like me who debuts songs that are highly unknown.

Creating new charts has become a new big hassle. There is a bug where the system automatically inputs entries from higher positions to the lower positions, and you are unable to remove them. Worse, you multiply them like bacteria. They deleted adding multiple rows for no good reason. The replicate function for previous chart is good but marred by the duplicate bug. The search song function is not as good as before, as the results include other songs that don't begin with these words and still don't incorporate artist name keywords to the search results.

How they managed to make posting charts a lot more inconvenient is beyond me.

We can now access the older website in an archived state, it means leaderboard are available to view again!

Just take note of this extra comment;

Posted by: Cow Cow 7th January 2022, 11:26 AM

Glad to know this. Now I can continue doing my EOY.

Remembered Crownnote a couple of weeks ago and decided to give it another try after using it for a period of time in 2017-17. Have spent much of the last 2 weeks inputting the remainder of my 12 years of charts in...! Decided to mainly do it as an extra back-up of my chart, but I like the layout and the leaderboards are cool (if increasingly slow the more data they're supposed to represent). Finished today with all 606 (!) of my single charts, and also album charts which are now available as a beta! Felt quite nostalgic going back through these charts, they're little time portals into periods of my life, and it brought back loads of emotions, both good and bad. Glad it's done now though and I got into a good rhythm with the "replicate" button which I didn't know existed before!

Anyway, here's my profile https://www.crownnote.com/users/josephstyles

I might actually follow suite and do what you've done. It would be a great back up for charts. I'm gonna pin this for now and others can sign up etc... Or just ahwtever they wanna do with it

Posted by: k👠th the Night 5th August 2023, 05:43 PM

It's a fab resource! I've slowly been adding the old Multicharts on there (I'm up to #142 now). Think it will be cool to see the artist histories and an all-time leader board for the Multi

Posted by: Cow P 6th August 2023, 03:32 AM

I discovered Crownnote via a friend channel of Top Music Charts (an EDM chart channel) and decided to give a try because I wasn't satisfied in making my charts for personal satisfaction. Didn't realize that it's been 3 years since I'm joining there. Recently there are a few fellow bigroom house fans joining the site as well, which is a good thing!

Here's mine: https://www.crownnote.com/users/cow-cow

Posted by: JSG 6th August 2023, 02:22 PM

So the last time I used crownnote was in 2016 so I've a lot of charts to add there. I'm currently working through my chart history on Buzzjack as well so I think Crownnote will be next on the list of things to do!

Posted by: uhsting 6th August 2023, 02:27 PM

It was very helpful in archiving charts and I sometimes use the website to find whether I have charted the song/artist before. The bugs since the new update have since been ironed out

Posted by: JosephStyles 6th August 2023, 02:45 PM

Oh I love this! My only issue is that the all-time leaderboard is VERY slow when you have so many charts, I have 607 and it isn't actually loading, not sure if it would if I left it for a while

Posted by: Danana 6th August 2023, 02:56 PM

the website seems to be amazingly slow still so I won't be going back to it, and as I last posted there in late 2017 it'd probably take me absolute ages to get up to date with it
as for chart archiving, I use an Excel spreadsheet

Posted by: Sergej 7th August 2023, 09:42 AM

Still using this Website. Had go get used to the changes of the Website.

Posted by: uhsting 19th October 2023, 09:21 PM

welp the web seems to be down for a couple of hours already

EDIT: Appears to be very intermittent and slow connection instead

Posted by: JosephStyles 21st October 2023, 05:25 PM

It's down for me currently

Posted by: uhsting 31st October 2023, 01:23 PM

Welp the website is hardly usable now. I've sent a message hoping something will be fixed on their end.
