An excellent guide to help you in your music buying. June 23, 1999
11 out of 11 found this review helpful
This work is comprehensive and includes anecdotal notes about the artists. The book lists all the Billboard Top 40 hits, in alphabetical order by artists. The listing includes the dates on which the hits first charted. There is a section in the back of the book which lists the hits by song title, which comes in handy if you cannot recall the artist who performed the song.I find this book to be indispensable when deciding whether or not to purchase a CD, and the price the CD should command (I find it hard to shell out $14.99 for a CD with only one hit song). The book will also help you decide whether a "Greatest Hits" package includes all the artist's top 40 hits (which is not always the case, and not due to lack of space on the CD). The only drawback I have about this book is that it's not sufficiently current; but this is a limitation imposed by the publishing process rather than a fault of the book itself. The author, Joel Whitburn, has other titles which I also found to be indispensable. Just check them out, you can thank me later. :)
The only music book you will ever need for Top 40 Hit info! March 2, 1999
8 out of 8 found this review helpful
As a mobile disc jockey and former radio announcer, I couldn't survive without this book. Joel is the BEST! I have almost 20,000 songs in my collection and was able to find all the important info such as year, chart position, and who was in the groups that made the songs famous. I love using this book to play trivia during parties as I know the info is always correct. I'm on my third edition and it's the only book I use. I can't wait for the next one to be published. If you love music like I do, then this book is the one that will answer all your questions and needs for music trivia or just information for your own personal use. Steve Whateley, "Steve The D.J."
Well done anthology of all the popular music December 29, 1998

Joel Whitburn's newest edition of the "Top 40 Hits" is excellent.It gave me all the information I needed to do my Music survey. What I like is the mention of that "Stairway To Heaven" was never released as a single in 1970s.Why???Well anyway, I take the book on the road to read stuff from it. Dang!The Monkees' "I'm A Believer" went to #1 on the last day of the year. This is trivia as we know it!
A COMPLETE REFERENCE GUIDE FOR THE MOBILE D.J. October 25, 1998
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
This book to me is a very important part of my DJ business,Almost as important as the CD's i carry to the job's.I use this reference as my catalog of the songs i carry with me, by highlighting the tittles i carry.Its so much more compact then carring a big note book, and has more information then you'll ever need about the artist.Therefore I highly recommend this guide to any of my fellow DJ's that want to give a fast reply to a client that ask's (Do you have this song ? ) thankyou all.
