Coming late August of 2023: Volume 2 of the 17th edition of the book that kicked off Joel Whitburn’s Record Research!
This was the last completed project on the desk of our dear, departed founder. Joel was positively thrilled with the printing of Volume 1 of Top Pop Singles (1955-1989) — the color edition being his favorite of the hundreds of books he authored and published since 1970. The upcoming Volume 2 picks up with the tail end of the age of the vinyl 45 rpm, and continues the single’s journey through the era of cassette, CD, and MP3, to streaming in present time. Our research covers everything that appeared on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 and Bubbling Under charts — that’s 21,095 songs by 4,197 artists. Witness the explosion of Rap/Hip-Hop, the rise of Latin and K-pop music, and the impact of streaming on the weekly chart. Get the complete history of music icons who debuted after 1989: Adele, Mariah Carey, Drake, Imagine Dragons, Bruno Mars, Taylor Swift, Kanye West, and more!
