About Us
 Media Traffic was founded in 1998, we are two german guys with special interest in music and charts. In February 1998 we released the first top 40 hitlist, which based on official national single & airplay charts around the world. It was the first attempt ever to create a global chart on a reliable base. In the course of years we refined the ascertainments (please, read the notes below). In autumn 2002 we began to tracking a global album top 40. Today mediatraffic.de is one of the most visited music websites in the world and the first address for global charts.
