For Fans of Pop Minutiae,

This review is from: Bubbling Under - Singles and Albums - 1998 Edition (Paperback)
If you're a fan of the Billboard charts, Joel Whitburn's books are the place to go for research on your favorite artists or those one-hit wonders. This book covers three charts: Bubbling Under the Hot 100 (songs that never got past #101); and two defunct charts, Bubbling Under Albums (LPs that failed to chart higher than #201) and Billboard's old EP chart (this chart was deleted when Billboard decided that the EP format was never going to catch on in the US). The EP section includes a photo of the cover of each EP ever to chart (heavy on Sinatra & Presley). This chart petered out before the arrival of The Beatles. The Beatles, for those who care, charted 3 songs on the Bubbling Under the Hot 100, including "I'm Down", the B-side to "Help!", which topped the chart in 1965 at #101. If you want to get beyond the Hot 100, this book will satisfy. As with all of Whitburn's Billboard compilations, the depth of the information is stunning, going beyond simple peak position and weeks-on-the-chart info to include guest artists, info on each artist, and on and on.

Can't get that song out of your mind? If so, then get this book!
Find the songs, though popular, were not in the top pops! There are many of these songs around and Joel Whitburn does a fantastic job of documenting the artists, documenting the songs. I recommend this book highly! -- Kraig

5.0 out of 5 stars
Great book, but be prepared for small type,
By William J. Eichelberger "I will not go quietly" (Ft. Thomas, KY) - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE) (REAL NAME)
This review is from: Bubbling Under - Singles and Albums - 1998 Edition (Paperback)
While the songs won't ring as familiar as those in the Top 40 book, you'll undoubtedly find a song or two that you'd forgotten about or always wondered about. Unearthing these nuggets makes the purchase of a book like this easily worth the price, but in the case of this book, be prepared for the incredibly small type. Not a big deal if you're a young kid like I was when I bought it, but I notice myself having to squint a lot more when I read it these days. ;-)
