Paul,

Is Whitburn ever going to rank by year the 1900-1940 songs similar to the 1940-1954 book and 1955-2016 annual. I was asking since the Pop Century book had the first 40 songs ranked. Even if its just a small book would be rather fascinating to assemble since it was not done for the 1900-1940 book you released just recently.

Honestly, I don't think he's even thought about it. I
sure can mention it to him though!

Paul,

Would you know if Joel has ever considered doing a book
for the separate Sales and Airplay charts of the Hot
100? I always loved looking at those charts and
comparing them to the main Hot 100 chart, especially in
the late 80's/early 90's. I have an older edition of
"Top Pop Singles" where the songs had their sales and
airplay peaks listed and thought it would be great if
there was a chronological listing of the Sales and
Airplay #1's like there is in the back of the Pop
Singles books for the Hot 100 #1's.

FYI -

There are a couple of important typos in the "Top 200 of All Time" listing in
this edition: All About That Bass' "Weeks in Top 40" is incorrect and rockstar's
"Weeks on Chart & in the Top 40" are wrong and affect its overall position.

I would like to see the Sales and Airplay peaks return
to the book as well. If the song did not actually reach
the Hot 100, the peak number should include that - not
just note it off to the side.

I personally find no value to the non-Hot 100 hits.
They seem to be determined subjectively and take away
space from including other actual data for songs/records
that did reach or bubbled under the Hot 100.

Thanks for those corrections! All of that data is
entered by hand and I was just coming off major eye
surgery when I worked on that section. BTW, although the
weeks are incorrect, it does not affect either song's
overall ranking (the numbers are correct in the decade
section).

No, we've never really considered such a book. Not sure
how much demand there would be.

Thanks for the feedback. Due to major staff cutbacks, we
stopped researching the sales and airplay charts at some
point around 2005. Doubt that info will ever return.

Most of our readers seem to enjoy the non-Hot 100
listings. We may have to take them out eventually as the
books are getting too big for one volume to handle.

This book was phenomenal. Love the thicker paper - makes the book fatter,
but more majestic, more resilient to damage.

Love having digital (portable) copies of these tomes. Any plans for a PDF
version?

Thanks for the kind words. Glad we went with the thicker
paper too!

No plans for a digital version at this time. Most of our
customers still prefer the printed books.
