As of mid-2009, <i>Radio and Records</i> publications and accompanying charts were discontinued. As of 2010, <i>Billboard</i> publishes <a href="/wiki/Adult_Alternative_Songs" class="mw-redirect" title="Adult Alternative Songs">Triple A charts</a> in the magazine and for its premium members on its website. Mediabase also publishes Triple A charts on a daily basis. </p><p>Additional Triple-A charts are published by <a href="/wiki/CMJ" title="CMJ">CMJ</a> and <a href="/wiki/FMQB" title="FMQB">FMQB</a>. FMQB also produces the annual Triple A Conference in <a href="/wiki/Boulder,_Colorado" title="Boulder, Colorado">Boulder, Colorado</a>, USA, an event that grew out of the Gavin Report's Triple A Summit, first held in 1993. FMQB took over production of the event, rebranding it as the Triple A Conference, after the closing of <i>Radio & Records</i> in 2009. </p><p>At the end of 2019, FMQB closed and all Triple A services were absorbed by Jack Barton Entertainment, LLC (JBE), helmed by Jack Barton, former VP/Triple A at FMQB. JBE has rebranded the Boulder convention as the Triple A SummitFest and continues to publish weekly Triple A charts, including a Non-Commercial album chart, as well as a weekly newsletter (JBE Triple A Report) covering Triple A radio and the music it plays. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="See_also">See also</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span
