An International A-Z of Hitmakers from 1952 to 2002

How do the success of Westlife's hits compare with those of the Beatles?
Or the Spice Girls with the Supremes?
How many hits did Richard Wayne Penniman or Barry Pincus have?
What was Lolly's real name?
Which was the biggest Rolling Stones hit?

Mike Kelly's total recall of the top 5000 entries in pop chart history makes this book an indispensable reference for every aspiring pop guru, DJ, rock band, pub quiz author, bus queue bore, academic, teenager, hip forty somethinger and rocking granny.

Wot Pop: 50 Years of Hits covers the Hit Parade from 14th November 1952, with such artists as Vera Lynn and Bing Crosby, to 1st June 2002, with Pink and Shaggy. The book includes an A-Z section about more than 2000 artists: the information is comprehensive, easy to access and each entry comes richly annotated with useful additional insights and cross references. Other sections cover the top 5000 singles (based on chart performance and not just on record sales); the top 500 artists and the top 10 singles and top 30 artists in each decade since the 1950s. The top singles list updates can be found here

Price: £17.99 plus £1.95 p&p.
