Rating:
Summary: A country disk jockey's must have
Review: If you are a country music disk jockey, you must have this book. The way the book is compiled is very helpful to the country DJ. It would be great if this book could be updated every year or two.

Summary: I've got a question.....
Review: In as much as this book is out of print and I don't actually have it... I am looking for a book or series of books that give the actual weekly charts (Top 40) for all Country hits from 1944 to now. Does this book have it, and if not, where can I obtain this information? Please e-mail me with any information.

Summary: great for dj's and quick info on artist/groups
Review: This book, as well as Top 40 Hits, are essential for anyone in radio or multi-format disc jockey businesses. I own a disc jockey business and these 2 books are like bibles. Just wished they'd get updated yearly or every other year.

Summary: What a perfect present!
Review: Want to know how many Top 40 hits Connie Smith or Red Sovine had? Where those their real names? What were their hometowns? How many Top 40 songs did Tammy have with George? How often and by which artists did "I Take the Chance" make the charts? (Answers below!). Compiler Whitburn has produced the ultimate toy for country music lovers. Also included is each chart hit, singer by singer, song by song. There is an alphabetical listing of each hit, showing who recorded them and another menu of the Top 100 singles going back to 1944. Readers will learn the Top Artists according to decade and all #1 songs cataloged chronologically. Plus more! What is not to like? This reviewer has found the listings for each artist VERY helpful in deciding to buy CDs. We all know some compilations are better than others. Armed with Whitburn's information, one can tell how many tracks on a given album made it in the world and which fizzled. Apparently this gem is only available as "used". I would not hesitate. Amazon does a good job on used books. Whitburn belongs on the shelf of any serious country fan-or any who would like to be. The answers from above are 39, 13, Constance June Meadows from Elkhart, Indiana, Woodrow Wilson Sovine from Charleston, West Virginia, 13 and 2 (by Ernest Ashworth in '63 and The Browns in '56. Haven't you placed an order yet?
