Description:
"From Bill Haley & His Comets and "Rock Around The Clock" to OutKast and "Hey Ya!," this resource has been updated and expanded to include complete chart information on every artist and song to hit the Top 40 on Billboard's pop singles charts since 1955. All of the biggest-selling and most-played hits of the past 50 years are listed both by artist and by song title for quick reference. Every artist entry features biographical information on the artist or group, followed by the date for each hit, its highest position and number of weeks on the chart, and its original label name and catalog number. Lists of record holders, including the top 100 hits of the rock era, the top artists by decade, and the top 25 hits of every decade; a chronological listing of every #1 single; and hundreds of photos round out this treasure trove of Top 40 trivia."--BOOK JACKET.
