HWright Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 (edited) I own a copy of Record Research's guide to r'n'b but I am at times frustrated by the fact that the book is (with the exception of a few summaries in the appendices) organized by artist, not by date. I have a book on the pop charts (UK and US) that does provide information by date and find this a very satisfying format. Does anyone know if there exists a book that gives the r'n'b charts in chronological order? Thanks. Henry. Edited June 23, 2006 by HWright Quote
The Magnificent Goldberg Posted June 23, 2006 Report Posted June 23, 2006 There isn't one. A few years ago, I painstakingly copied the R&B singles chart up to end 1959 onto my computer so I could analyse the charts for that period by year or label. Then I had a computer disaster and lost it all! I haven't had the heart to do it again. I've got details of jazz albums on R&B and pop charts in my computer now, that's all. MG Quote

Just out of curiosity, how did you compile the data that you entered into your computer (pre-disaster)? From Record Research? Quote

Yes - I have the 1988 edition of the RR R&B singles, the 1998 R&B albums and the 2001 pop albums books. MG Edited June 24, 2006 by The Magnificent Goldberg Quote
