The Official Charts - the Sixties


Book Description

The Official Charts: The Sixties is an essential gathering together of all the UK's Official charts, week-by-week, as the full published chart, chronicling the shifting fashions and trends of that most memorable of decades. That means more than 500 weeks of singles charts. These are the charts recognised by the music industry as their official rundowns (as curated today by the Official Charts Company - and made available at OfficialCharts.com). This means the charts broadcast by BBC Radio 1 and Top Of The Pops, and published by music industry magazine Music Week. This is the first time the full charts have been gathered together in the same place in a printed volume and is the latest in a series of books which, over the coming months, will make up a collection of volumes spanning every week of the UK's Official singles and albums charts from 1952 to the present day. Also included are the accompanying EP Charts, which were published between March 1960 and December 1967. Published at the same time as this title is the companion volume, The Official Albums Charts: The Sixties. The additional volumes on the rest of the UK's great chart decades are coming your way very soon.
