Great History Of Albums,
This review is from: The Billboard Book of Number One Albums: The Inside Story Behind Pop Music's Blockbuster Records (Paperback)
Billboard provides the definitive charts for music and Craig Rosen has written the definitive book on the albums that reached number one on those charts. As the title suggests, Mr. Rosen tells the story of behind the making of every number one album. This book is kind of like a mini Behind The Music. You may or may not know the stories behind albums by major artists like The Beatles, The Stones, Springsteen and so on, but it's stories of the more obscure artists like Gerry Rafferty, Janis Ian, Pantera & Vangelis that are the most interesting. Not only do you get the album's story, you get a track listing, the date it reached number and weeks at number one. A great book and hopefully it will be updated with the most recent number one albums.

This review is from: The Billboard Book of Number One Albums: The Inside Story Behind Pop Music's Blockbuster Records (Paperback)
This book is completely amazing! I remember some of the album purchases I made as a teenager and why (they were the hottest albums!). This book has some awesome interviews from the artists and producers with some very cool info about the song tracks and the history of the album. I pretty much stopped buying full length projects back in the 90's so this book stops where I did. Perfect!!!
