$54.95
Now accounted for in music history are many songs that are “Hall of Fame” classics, regional surf, hot rod, garage rock, and doo-wop. The #101-150 chart was also the home of the popular compositions of many jazz and blues artists. These along with thousands of obscurities are thoroughly researched. Also appearing is the B-side of every single, plus a biography for every new artist.
On February 23, 1959, Music Vendor magazine introduced “Beat of the Week…And Heading For the Top 100 – Popular” chart. This was 15 weeks prior to Billboard magazine introducing its “Bubbling Under” chart. Music Vendor’s chart grew to 50 positions. In April of 1964, Music Vendor became Record World and this chart was retitled “Singles Coming Up.” From 1974 until 1982 (last year of Record World magazine), while Billboard’s Bubbling Under chart featured only 10 song titles, Record World’s #101-150 chart hosted 40 more titles!
