This review is from: Billboard's Hot Dance/Disco 1974-2003 (Hardcover)
I was wating for years for this book to be released, and finally I got it. The information is complete and detailed about the songs/tracks that were listed on the dance charts. You can find the date that the song was first entered on the lists and the peak positions. You'd be amazed that many of the dance hits that peaked # 1 on the 100 pop chart did not make the # 1 on the dance/club play chart, and even more did not enter the chart at all. Great presentation and very well organized, it worths every penny $$$ I spent on it. I have only 2 complains about this book, first: the Dance Maxi Single Sale chart information is not listed here at all. It's a most, to have the sales information to be included in this book. How do I know that the song I danced for years was also a success on sales, for the next release of this book please have this information included. Second: it's a total pitty that the information from the electronic music charts were not included here either. The massive and most popular clubs that makes most pop/dance artist have a hit on the billboard dance charts, have been playing only danceable electronica music for years, to be more accurate, since the mid 80's. I hope this will be also included in the next release of the Hot Dance/Disco. Also I have the hope that the world hits (mostly Europeans hits) also listed on weekly billboard magazine gets to be relased on a book soon. Until then, enjoy this wonderful book.

like to dance you'll love it,
This review is from: Billboard's Hot Dance/Disco 1974-2003 (Hardcover)
This must have been the most difficult book to compile and Joel Whitburn did it perfectly well. Tons of information even as to acts from Europe. You really can be surprised to find Urban Cookie Collective, The Shamen or Blue Pearl in the book. Excellent
