So many great memories of the Eighties

Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2009

Verified Purchase

This book brought back so many great memories of the Eighties. I remember listening to the Top 40 every week and keeping track of what songs were placed where. Yes, I was a geek, still am. These charts include not just the top 40, but the full top 100 from Billboard. The book is well-organized and even though I pretend to be a know-it-all on Eighties music, this book reminds me of so many songs and artists that I had forgotten about. Great reference tool for when you and friends disagree about the songs you remember from the Eighties. Other books by Whitburn provide great reading material -- this one is all about the charts.

I actually give it 4.5 stars, but that is not an option. The only change I'd like to see is to print the charts at their full original size. Some of the copies in the book are not the best quality, and the smaller print size makes them even more difficult to read.

How the eighties is documented in music

Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2007

Verified Purchase

As one who grew up listening to the music in the eighties, this book was the first in the series that I bought. The book itself contains not more than reproductions of weekly billboard HOT 100 charts from the first week of 1980 to the last of 1989. What makes the book interesting to me is that it brought back the good memories of the decade when I listened to practically each song ever made it to the chart, collected the records and stay tuned to the radio for weekly charts.

This book is probably enjoyable only for those who went through the decade in music.

Love this compilation book!

Reviewed in the United States on January 3, 2018

Verified Purchase

Expensive but I love it. Will eventually get the 60's and the 70's. Music started dying in the 90's and has suffered a major death in the 2000's (Ha!)...so those compilations are not that important to me.

AWESOME book!

AWESOME information! There’ll never be a decade of music like the 1980s! This book takes me back to my childhood. Long live 80s music!

Reviewed in the United States on March 25, 2024

It would have been better to make the size of this book exactly the same as the original magazine or larger. The print would have been the same size as the charts in the real Billboard magazine (which was readable). The only way to use this book is with a magnifying glass -- literally.

This book settles arguments about when a song was popular. Complete Billboard charts from 1980-1989.
