I'd say pretty much zero chance of an Adult Contemporary Annual book. The main A/C book is not a big seller, but it's
due for an update, hopefully in the next year or two.

We stopped doing the week-by-week positions in the Pop/Country Annual(s) and I don't see that feature ever returning.]]> Sat, 26 Aug 2023 11:59:52 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8776&PID=63528&title=pop-annual-19552016#63528 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8776&PID=63527&title=pop-annual-19552016#63527 Author: thecdguy

Just throwing this out there, but how about an
Adult Contemporary annual? I don't think
there's ever been one before and I love that
chart (even though in recent years songs have
been spending extraordinarily long weeks at
#1).

As I recall, the 1994 and 1999 editions of the
Pop Annual and the 1997 edition of the Country
Annual had the week-by-week chart positions
for each song that made the Top 5. Is that
still being done, and if not, is there any
chance of that returning?]]> Sat, 26 Aug 2023 11:14:53 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8776&PID=63527&title=pop-annual-19552016#63527 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8776&PID=63526&title=pop-annual-19552016#63526 Author: Paul Haney

I did. You are correct, the only one in print...

Not just its absolute peak in its peak year. This would allow us to see the ebb and flow popularity of an album over time, as it actually occurred. Yeah, that would result in more pages and ink, but the extra cost would be worth it to me. Take my money, please… (Same thing for the Pop Singles Annual, ha.) Thanks for listening, Paul… I agree, you're a nut! :) A Pop Albums Annual will never happen at Record Research. Just too much work for too little payoff. We have to make a profit to keep the doors open, simple as that.

Paul, you forgot to remind us that your RR book "Top 10 Albums 1955-2011" includes a pop albums annual in the back! Well, it's not full blown, but it'll do until you get around to the full blown, ha. (yeah I know, you never will…) It lists the albums by peak for each year, until the half page column runs out of space, or you get to the #10 position. Definitely worth it to have this book.

Also, for the millions of viewers here who may have forgotten:

--the "Top 10 Country Hits 1944-2010" book also includes a country singles annual in the back. Same set up, a half page column till it runs out of space or gets to the #10 position. So a bit of an update over the last country singles annual from 1997.

--the "Top 10 R&B Hits 1942-2010" book, same thing, an annual in the back, same set up. The first ever R&B singles annual (I think).

--and as someone else previously mentioned in another thread, the "A Century of Pop Music" book is a pop annual 1900 to 1999, with a ranking by peak of 40 records each year. The first pop annual for 1900 to 1939 (I think).

Most groove worthy, all of them, and I own ‘em all. Operators are standing by!

I have so many RR books, I need a spreadsheet just to keep track of them all…]]> Tue, 03 Sep 2019 14:30:51 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8776&PID=52608&title=pop-annual-19552016#52608 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8776&PID=49037&title=pop-annual-19552016#49037 Author: Paul Haney

Fran's condition is about the same. She's still paralyzed from the waist down. She's been back home for the past few months and she's in generally good spirits, considering all she's been thru. She starts more intense physical therapy today and the doctors are still hopeful that she may one day walk again. Thank you for your concern. ]]> Thu, 01 Mar 2018 09:35:21 +0000 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8776&PID=49037&title=pop-annual-19552016#49037 https://top40musiconcd.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=8776&PID=49035&title=pop-annual-19552016#49035 Author: jebsib
