This volume covers the period Its principal feature is the presentation of monthly popularity charts, of them, running from January to December These charts appear in this book as they would have appeared if regular, accurate surveys had been conducted in those early years. Song charts were not created before Another section of the book uniquely displays these charts in a spreadsheet format so the reader can see how each song rose and fell during its period of popularity and how it compared with the other competing songs of its day. The remaining section contains a massive and exhaustive encyclopedia of all charted songs giving every vital fact that pertains to each song, including chart highlights, writers, shows, movies, records, and principal artists connected with the song. An alphabetical index of song titles allows easy access to song information, and it eliminates the confusion that arises when two or more different songs have the same title but different writers.

Everyone recognizes the magic moment when a song becomes a hit. Suddenly it's in the air everywhere—on radio, on iTunes, on MTV, in record stores, on movie soundtracks and in TV commercials.
