Paul,
Will be ordering later this month....
On another note had a quick question....
When you do another hot 100 annual revision how will you treat the Perfect single by Ed Sheeran (with and without Beyonce duet) and Old Town Road (with and without Billy Ray Cyrus). Since both were #1 wouldn't there need to be a differentiation?
I noticed when I got the 2016 annual that the Britney Spears/Rihanna duet, which caused the single to hit #1 was not even mentioned. Is that going to be the case, that the version with the most weeks will be the one that is listed?
I noticed on your sample page pdf that you listed Ed Sheeran's Perfect and mentioned the Beyonce Duet, that is why the question came to mind.

Billboard generally combines the different versions
together. Whichever one has the most points that week
gets the billing on the chart. As you can imagine,
that's created some headaches for us on just how to
present that information in our books. For Top Pop
Singles, a trivia note usually suffices. We'll have to
take another look about how to handle these for the Pop
Annual.

Ed, you just happened to try at the exact same time our
admin person was in there reloading the sample pages.
Everything should be working fine from here on.

Love that the Xmas titles are all combined now as opposed to having insanely
messy re-entry lists. I gather that Artist points will be calculated by highest
overall Xmas peak position as opposed to all the separate yearly peaks.

I'd imagine that Christmas songs throw a major wrench in
the works, especially with the trend of stations going all
Christmas for the month of December. Few, if any of these
songs were officially re-released nor have they been back
by popular demand, but the concentrated airplay on a
handful of stations makes it look that way.

On a side note Paul, no more PDF (e-books) or has Record Research thrown in the towel?
Also any decision coming shortly on making a 2010-2019 decade book or pdf disc of the hot 100 charts like previous decades?
Thanks in advance.

Kind of wait and see on more e-books. They really don't
sell all that well.
No decision yet on the Hot 100 charts for the current
decade. As you probably know, the Hot 100 is now spread
out over three pages, making it harder to put together a
book. Frankly, also not sure what kind of demand there
is for the recent charts.

The irony is that there has NEVER been a higher demand for recent charts.
When we were listening to American Top 40, all you had was seeking out
expensive Billboard magazine at hard to find urban newsstands. Now literally
millions of chart enthusiasts have hundreds of website message boards and
converse in heavily heated daily conversations about chart placements,
statistics, etc. Billboard had to shut down its message board after they
crashed on chart-reveal days. So the demand is there. It's trying to reach the
current generation in a way that isn't just Wikipedia charts. And that they may
not 'care' until their nostalgia kicks in in a few years.

Paul, a very small correction, so hope you haven't gone to press just yet…
Just checked the 2015 edition and in the #1s section, Dolly's 1981 "9 to 5"
needs to have a double arrow icon as it dropped - then returned - to #1.
Thanks!

The books should be arriving at our offices either today
(6/24) or tomorrow. We will spend most of this week
shipping out the pre-orders. Thanks to everyone here who
already purchased a copy. Happy to report that this
edition is outpacing the past two editions, sales wise!

The Top Pop Singles book is "only" 1218 pages but is slightly thicker than the 1602 page Top Pop Albums book - thicker paper for the singles. The album book weighs more but carrying either around is quite the workout!
Of course in the "what have you done for me lately" world, which book is next?
Top R&B Singles 1942-2019 (now including the R&B Airplay charts)
Pop Annual 1955-2019 (although 2019 rankings probably not available until June of next year)
Music Vendor Charts 1954-1963
Cash Box Charts, the fifties, eighties or nineties
-or-
better yet, some new Joel project you are currently working on but are sworn to secrecy!

The next order of business is to print the 1958, 1959 and
1960/61 Cash Box Regional books. This will take up the
rest of my year, at least.
We may also do a Cash Box 1980s chart book. That's one I
don't have to personally do much work on.
No other big projects planned as of yet.

Paul,
Just wondering if any new e-books are going to be put up or is the new annual and new top pop hits not going to be available anytime soon for e-books?
Also you originally had a book that had the 1900-1999 century listings but only the first 40 positions:
https://www.recordresearch.com/pop/century_of_pop_music_1900 _1999.php
Is there any chance you would do a book that would cover the rankings from 1900-1940, or from 1900-2019 eventually that would be a more inclusive pop annual? Your 1900-1940 book that was redone (from the 1986 original) neither has a ranking like the annual year by year.
As always, thanks for all your work.

The e-books do not sell, so no plans for any more at this
time.
