Celebrate in Merry Measure,

This review is from: Christmas in the Charts 1920-2004 (Paperback)
This book lists the information for every Christmas (or New Year's or Chanukah or winter) song or album that every appeared on the Billboard music charts. And by charts I mean EVERY chart. Information was taken from the Pop charts, the R&B charts, the Country charts, the Jazz charts, the Children's music charts and every other chart that ever appeared in Billboard magazine (including, of course, the actual Christmas music charts). The songs are arranged by both the performers and the song titles. So, for instance you can look up Bing Crosby to find out which of his Christmas singles and albums charted (by the way, the albums listings list all the songs that are on the albums). Or you could look up "White Christmas", to see how many different Christmas albums that song appeared on (the answer is 232, by the way). There is also a color section, which has beautiful reproductions of old Christmas records and their covers. The book is very comprehensive, so since it does exactly what it sets out to do, I am giving it five stars.

This review is from: Christmas in the Charts 1920-2004 (Paperback)
As a collector and DJ I adore this book. Whitburn's Pop Singles helped me make my oldies collection and I'm just finishing up my Christmas collection using this book. Honestly, I recommend any book put out by Record Research.
