Hit Count Continued

Hit counts resume from Volume 1 - for example, if an artist had 10 charted hits through 1989, Vol 2 begins numbering their subsequent hits at #11.

Color Edition Only

Soaring costs prohibited separate printings of black & white and color editions, so the customer favorite (and ours, too) became the top pick.

#1 in Canada

NEW: American chart hits that topped charts in Canada (and UK, Cash Box, Radio & Records, or other main genres -- AC, CW, RB, ROK & more)
