 Review
This is the book that bridges the gap between the 2015 edition of Pop Memories (which covers 1900 - 1940) and the Top Pop Singles books (which start in 1955).

The catalogue page illustrated above gives all you need to know, really, but here's a summary of the various sections:-
1. List of all entries on the Billboard singles charts between 1940 and 1954, in alphabetical order of artists, with the hits in date order. Date of entry, highest position, weeks on chart, label and number, title of B-side.
2. Yearly lists of each hit, ranked in order according to chart performance.
3. Song title index.
4. Singles wrap-up - lots of lists (e.g. top artists, top songwriters, Top singles, #1 singles).
5. Weekly top 10 singles charts.
6. Album chart summaries from 1945 - 1954, including titles of all tracks, #1 albums and various lists.

If that ain't enough to convince you to get a copy, then nothing will!
