Notes on the text Hopefully this has whet your appetite for dive into the latest chart book and that you will enjoy this as much as I have in putting it together.

As with any book of this nature there are mistakes inside its pages. I would be stupid to think that there were none. So, if you spot a mistake and let me know, I’ll correct it and you’ll get your name in the book. Drop me an email at [email protected] and I’ll check out the error, though I also welcome praise and criticism, both for the book and the layout of the book.

As far as can be tested this book is virus free, though it may contain traces of nuts.

This is an alphabetical listing of titles, sorted by their first letters. Any title starting with “A” or “The” is listed under the second word. The peak and the year of first chart entry of the title is shown. Where the same title charted in the same year, the entries are sorted by the highest position reached by that track. In the unlikely event of two or more records reaching the same position, they are listed alphabetically by artist, although the artist is not sorted alphabetically.
