  • A good reference of NME/Network/MRIB singles charts

    This comprehensive reference book contains every music singles chart published in the New Musical Express from 1952 to 1992, including those from 1952-60 that are regarded as the official UK singles charts of that period. It's important to note that from 1960 onwards, these NME charts are not what is regarded as the official version (as per the Official Charts Company, or companies such as Gallup in years gone by), but they were an important rival chart, being compiled by MRIB towards the end of the period covered in the book, and these charts had widespread use on various network radio stations and in various other media. For example, these NME charts show "Vienna" by Ultravox at number 1 in 1991, and similarly "Groove Is In The Heart" by Deee-Lite in 1990, but these songs were not number 1s in the official chart. The book is not entirely free of a few typographical mistakes, but there is some interesting commentary at the bottom of each page. So, provided that you understand which version of the singles charts are covered, I recommend this book.

  • Here We Go Pop Pickers!

    FABULOUS book with all the British charts for 40 years. I knew exactly what the book was as my friend has a copy. I use it for my 60s 70s and 80s radio music show every Friday on Radio Tircoed, 1300-1600 GMT. I'm Happy Jack! 😎🎵😎🎵😎
