Hit Singles: Top 20 Charts from 1954 to the Present Day

Annotation 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 world on both sides of the Atlantic. The listings include the artists' previous month's position, label, weeks on the chart and million sellers. An A-Z listing of song titles with artist, and an A-Z listing of artists with song titles offer easy cross-referencing, and, to put it all in 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.
