Inhaltsangabe

For decades, American and British musicians have made music side by side. So, why shouldn’t their hit singles be placed side by side too? This fun and fascinating record book does just that, presenting both countries’ top 20 chart listings from 1954 to 2009 on facing pages, so fans can see at a glance what was going on in the music world in the US and UK. Listings include the artists’ previous position, label, weeks on the chart, and million sellers, while several indexes offer easy cross-referencing. Musical milestones in chronological order put it all in perspective, giving the whole history of rock.
