The Lost No 1 Hits - Completing the Record of Britain's Chart-Topping Singles, 1958-1988


Overview

Spanning three decades, The Lost No 1 Hits adds a new dimension to the history of the UK singles charts. Drawing on meticulous original research, it restores to the record all the chart-topping singles from the fast-moving weekend Top 20s compiled exclusively for the Sunday newspapers by New Musical Express and Melody Maker. For the first time, these overlooked No 1 hits are fully integrated into chart history - revealing newly identified chart-toppers by major artists including Queen, Stevie Wonder and Elton John. The book presents a complete, week-by-week guide to Britain's favourite records, including the No 1 hits from the other main national charts. Packed with chart facts, feats and anomalies, The Lost No 1 Hits completes the story of the singles that made it all the way to the top - and may even give you an alternative answer (or two) to the timeless question: what was your birthday Number One?
