I used to jot down Radio & Records pop & AC peaks back in the day - for songs I like. Of course, the Whitburn R&R Pop book has come out since then. I was wondering, with all the chart enthusiasts here - has anyone created a database for Radio & Records AC peaks? Or is there a website where I can find this info?

Gordon, I'm not aware of any source for that particular chart info. I'd love to
research those other R&R charts some day. |

Hi Paul.
Any chance Joel and you might be updating the Billboard AC & Hot AC chart book? Believe it or not, the Hot AC Chart has the most relevance to me as the broad appeal pop chart as the programmers of Hot AC stations don't seem to want to push turkeys up the chart because they seem to like records with staying power. Just my observation, of course. I also wouldn't mind a first Rhythmic Top-40 chart book! Andy Edited by AndrewChouffi |

Andy, I'm hoping that we get the Billboard AC book updated sometime this year. It's long overdue.
No plans for the Rhythmic Top 40 charts at this time. |

Yay! Can I request that the new edition includes both Writers and B-Sides? The last version had the writers and the one before the B-Sides so if possible can they both appear? The page size (if it goes to the greater size of the Rock book etc) would take it well I think. |

Paul,
1) Is the 2010-2019 Billboard Chart book coming out, to stay consistent with the other decade books? If not, will it come out as a PDF disc? 2) Is the Top Pop Singles coming out this year covering from 1955-1989 and 1990-2020? I would think that the first book can come out anytime since those positions wont change... Thanks in advance for answering... |

Favorite two expressions to live by on this board: "You can't download vinyl" and "Not everything is available on CD."

I remember asking Paul recently about the BB decades book for the 10's and he said it would only cover 2010 to sometime in 2014. It would stop when the Hot 100 was spready out over 3 pages instead of 1. As soon as BB started doing that, I always wondered how Rec Research would handle the decade book. It's a shame we'd get less than 50% of the decade. But it also isn't effective cost-wise to cover 3 pages for 1 chart.

1) We are working on the chart book for the previous decade. It will be 2 volumes. We'll start with 2010-2014 (five full years), then follow-up with 2015-2019. As Gordon mentioned, the chart eventually spread out to 3 pages, that's why we have to split it up. 2) We are working on the Top Pop 1955-1989 volume now. It's A LOT of work, but we hope to have an official announcement coming around April or so. Please keep in mind that our company is basically down to a two man operation in the office. We have to take care of every aspect of the business, not just the actual books themselves. |

Another AC chart related question: Besides Billboard and R&R, didn't either Cashbox or Record World have an AC chart (in the 70s and 80s)?
