The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles - Softcover

Now published annually, this new edition contains information on date of entry, label catalogue number and peak position for every hit single since the charts began in 1952. More than 7,000 acts have a place in the book, and the Top 500 of these now carry a mini biography. In addition to the regular facts and statistics there are in-depth articles reviewing the year's pop news, gigs, awards, the American scene and Eurovision.

This edition also contains the considered opinion of 30 hitmakers and DJs on what they regard as their favourite single of the 20th Century. Phil Collins, Shania Twain, Jay Kay and Pete Townshend are just some of the stars talking exclusively to The Guinness Book of British Hit Singles about the hits that, in some cases, changed their lives.
