The Billboard Book of Number One Albums: The Inside Story Behind Pop Music's Blockbuster Records

Rating:
Summary: Great History Of Albums
Review: Billboard provides the definitive charts for music and Craig Rosen has written the definitive book on the albums that reached number one on those charts. As the title suggests, Mr. Rosen tells the story of behind the making of every number one album. This book is kind of like a mini Behind The Music. You may or may not know the stories behind albums by major artists like The Beatles, The Stones, Springsteen and so on, but it's stories of the more obscure artists like Gerry Rafferty, Janis Ian, Pantera & Vangelis that are the most interesting. Not only do you get the album's story, you get a track listing, the date it reached number and weeks at number one. A great book and hopefully it will be updated with the most recent number one albums.
