Got charts? With an impressive array of sources, this site posts music charts from over 60 countries. The viewer is able to search for charts by continent, country, artist, and/or title. Although the site includes charts from radio stations, the most typical kind, it also provides refreshing alternatives like shop charts (from music stores) and personal charts (from individuals). Also, there are numerous links to other pages with charts and chart-related information. The layout of the site is extremely minimal, serving not so much to entertain but to simply direct the viewer.

Wolfgang Amadus Mozart
Http://www.studio-mozart.com/mozart/index.htm
A beautifully formatted Web site, dedicated to the introduction of Mozart’s musical life and compositions. The site divides its information into four categories: concerts, compositions, biography, and a media library. For novices within classical music, this is an effective place to start.
