This review is from: Billboard's Top Ten Charts 1958-1997 (Paperback)

Although a regular reader might not like this book, Pop Music fanatics will find it to be a must have in their collection. If you ever wanted to know what song was number 1 when you were born, what song was number 3 when you got married, or what song was number 6 on the day you got divorced, this is the book for you. I find myself thumbing through it every time a favorite song of mine is on the radio, just to see where the song charted. A must have for any music fan.

This review is from: Billboard's Top Ten Charts 1958-1997 (Paperback)

If you like to read Billboard magazine, then this book is for you. It lists every top ten singles chart from 1958 to 1997. It is interesting to thumb through and see what the rankings were for a particular week. It also gives the week's highest debut and the biggest mover on the charts. This will bring back memories for any music fan. It makes a nice companion to Mr. Whitburn's book on the top ten album charts.
