On July 10, 2008 ''[[Billboard (magazine)|Billboard]]'' began a Triple-A chart (using information from sister-publication ''[[Radio and Records]]'', a news magazine devoted to the radio and the music industries that has since ceased publication). Rival [[Mediabase 24/7]] also compiles a Triple A chart. As of mid-2009, ''Radio and Records'' publications and accompanying charts were discontinued. As of 2010, ''Billboard'' publishes [[Adult Alternative Songs|Triple A chart]]s in the magazine and for its premium members on its website. Mediabase also publishes Triple A charts on a daily basis.
