Customer Reviews

The most referenced book in my collection.
Every time I pick up this book, I learn something new. So much info is packed into this book. Im making an ultimate MP3 list of songs that I remember listening to in the past 30 years. I have over 930 Cd's so far and this book is always by my side. I plan on getting all of Mr. Whitburn's music chart books.

Fantastic Reference for Music !!!!
I recommend this book to anyone with even a passing interest in music. It is great.
The book arrived with no problem. Amazon must have worked out whatever problem the other reviewers were complaining about.
So many times this book has settled debates at my workplace over which artist did what song or what year a song came out.
This latest edition has many updates and additional information. I especially like the attempt to include bios on all the artists that ever charted. Nice touch.
Buy this book for yourself or anyone who loves music.
You will not be disappointed.

Music lovers -- get this book!
I've employed Joel Whitburn's books for over 20 years to help me know what are the tops songs, to help me remember, to help me remember who did what song.
Cut thru the "greatest hits" nonsense where 1 or 2 songs are known and the rest are filler with "Top Pop Singles".
Each time I go to the record store I take "Top Pop Singles" with me (dog eared and all :) )
It's easy to look-up a song by either song title or artist.
Many artists/groups also contain interesting bios.
Also, #1 Hits by year lists.
Also, Special Christmas singles lists.
The BEST song reference book. I recommend fully.
Any bad comments? Only published once every 4 years. Yes, there are updates available, but for a song/music junkie, like me, I prefer the book!
Check out the other books by Joel Whitburn for other titles as these books are also great reference.
