not for British reference

O.K. I made a mistake with this book.It is not for any one in England who is trying to compile a list of no1 hit singles or any kind of reference to the British Pop scene.Never the less i had to give 5stars just for the sheer amount of work thats gone into it.It is still very useful for cross reference and very interesting for finding out what American singers never made no1 in their own Country but made no1 in Britain, Eddie Cochran being just one example with Three Steps Two Heaven.It was interesting for me to note that Cliff Richard has never had a no1 in the U.S.A., the most he has ever been is no6 with Devil Woman.I have noticed one mistake and that is to do with the birthdate of one artist.His name Sonny Boy Williamson aka Rice Miller,according to the book his date is 1899 according to Sonny Boy himself its 1897.This date is taken from his LP track The Story of Sonny Boy Williamson which i bought in 1962/3.O.K. i said i made a mistake buying it because BillBoard is American & i am starting to compile my own life in music which is mostly from British charts,but i have no regrets & although i state its not for british chart reference i would still recomend it to anyone who wants to put their life into music compilations of their own,for that its invaluable.

chart fanatics bible

I am a chart fanatic, yet I have no need for a 12 step program to get over it because I have this book, it is fantastic for folks like me. I grew up listening to Casey Kasem and compiling my own charts on notebook paper to have my own record. Having easily referable access to this reference book is a dream for me. I have this one and the one for albums, so yes I am addicted. If you have any fascination with rankings and charts--GET THIS BOOK--and this updated edition even has new things like airplay only singles, classic non Hot 100 songs, which is basically popular album cuts, and more. It's a great addition to any music fans library.

Better than ever

I love the new "Classics" section -- how could so many famous and loved songs not be Top 100 hits? Separating the "featured artist" from the artist's main body of work was also a good idea. And the information on which greatest hits compilation has the most hit songs on it has already helped me get the most for my money. If you love music, this will help you put it in order so you can find what you have and find out what you don't have yet.

Really Love this book!

I really love this book! Its so comprehensive, it helps me find songs I've been looking for over many years! I also like the categories it broken down into. Like top sellers, top average sellers and with the more popular groups tells you how a total of weeks they've been on the charts. Its also current which makes it even better. I love reading about groups and their songs, also finding out what the number one songs were for each year.

If you are looking for something that is comprehensive in covering the music top 100, this is it!

A Stellar Compilation

Since I also purchased Joel Whitburn's Top Country Songs (1944 to 2005),I was able to compare Top Pop Singles (1955-2006) to it. One thing I liked in the former that was absent in the latter is the listing of the songwriters for each title. Instead the B-sides are given. Could room have been made to include the songwriters for each entry? Nevertheless, I enjoy making frequent reference to Top Pop Singles 1955-2006.
