2.0 out of 5 stars Good to follow, but make sure you get a CORRECT copy!, March 11, 2006

By	P. Dompier "eightiespopboy" (Minnesota) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am a huge chart follower. I am in total heaven with the 80's edition of Joel Whitburn's Billboard Hot 100 Chart book. I received the 90's edition for Christmas, and again, I was thrilled. I was just going through it some more to track a song I was listening to, and realized that the charts from May 31, 1997 to the end of '97 are totally missing. It leaps from May 24, 1997 to November 13, 1999. It then goes to the end of 1999, then lists all the songs that hit the Hot 100 in the 90s, then starts back up with the January 10, 1998 chart. I don't know how I missed this when I first got the book, but I am not amused and wanted to warn others that might order this book to check this out right away. I'm really disappointed that I didn't notice this right away. For all the other information outside of the last half of 1997, it's a great resource.

5.0 out of 5 stars Make a list and check it twice..., May 17, 2000

By A Customer

Billboard, long the Bible of pop music opens the doors to their kingdom of charts. It's all here folks. The hits rise and fall faster than the stock exchange. You'll see great songs that barely made the top 100, and sappy tunes that were pushed up the charts by heavy pushes by the record companies. Find out for yourself how many songs never made it past the #2 position because they had the misfortune of charting at the same time as "One Sweet Day." The musical history of the 90's shows the path pop music into the new millennium. (mlk)

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent research book for fans of 90's music, June 23, 2001

By	Keith Harris (Long Beach, MS) - See all my reviews

This book (along with the 80's companion) is super!!! You can now track your most favorite songs over the decade from Mariah Carey to Boyz II Men!!! One Hit wonders are in full in this book, but the main stays like Madonna, Micheal, and Prince are there, too. It's just a great book!!!
