- Summary:
- Unlike Any Other Book of its kind, Hit Singles gives both US and UK Top 20 chart listings, side-by-side, to show at a glance what was happening in the music worlds on both sides of the Atlantic. The month-by-month chart listings are instant nostalgic memory jerkers, giving you an opportunity to compare the development of rock and pop on both sides of the Atlantic. They include the artist's first and last chart entries, million sellers, previous month's position, label, weeks on the chart and the chart position on the opposite side of the Atlantic. This book contains all the information you will ever need to know about the Top 20 hits since the charts began.
- An alphabetical listing of song titles with artist, and an alphabetical listing of artists with song titles and chart-entry dates, enable easy cross-referencing and help you to track down any Top 20 record since 1954.
- And to put it all into perspective, musical milestones in chronological order give the whole history of rock, its stars, producers, labels, innovations and styles that shaped the music of the time and the future.
