Overview

A lost archive of UK chart history, reconstructed from original sources; For the first time, Hottest Hits brings together the fastest-moving UK singles charts of the 1960s and 1970s. Between 1964 and 1978, New Musical Express compiled a unique weekend chart for the Sunday Mirror - one that consistently captured sales several days, and often a full week, ahead of the widely-accepted ""official"" listings. Overlooked for decades, these Sunday charts provide a precise, date-stamped record of Britain's favourite hits. Now reassembled from original sources, they offer a vivid, week-by-week account of chart movements across fourteen years - often identifying major breakthroughs and Number One records before they appeared anywhere else. Hottest Hits includes: - The complete run of NME Sunday charts as published in the Sunday Mirror - The listings used, from 1965, on Radio Luxembourg's famous Sunday night chart show - Colour-coded tables highlighting upward movement at a glance - Comprehensive artist, title and label indexes - A full guide to NME Number Ones, 1978-88, rebased to their original publication date - The history of the NME chart from the sixties through to its closure in 1988 Decades later, Hottest Hits restores a vital missing piece of British chart history.
