Description

The principal feature of this book is the presentation of 600 monthly popularity charts, running from Jan. 1900 to Dec. 1949. These were created during 10 years of research, and they appear in this book as they would have appeared if regular, accurate surveys had been conducted and charted prior to 1945. The next section 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 competing songs of its day. The last section is an encyclopedia of all charted songs giving vital facts that pertain to each song including chart highlights, writers, shows, movies, records, and principal artists. Also includes an alphabetical index of song titles.
