Billboard Top 1000 Singles - 1955-2000

Rating:
Summary: Good Idea, bad results
Review: The simplistic rating system ruins all the book: (example: a song that reached #1 one week and stayed on chart only 12 or 13 weeks is ranked well above a song that couldn't get #1 but stayed 9 weeks in #2 and total 42 (almost a year) in chart.) It doesn't show the real impact of a song seen through time. A lot of big hits are left out and then, the other compilations that depend of it lack of credibility. The picture selection could have been more large, but the idea of a ranking of this 45 years is great.
