Product Description
Book Description
Product Description
From Abracadabra by the Steve Miller Band to Zoom by ELO, this indispensable, innovatively designed book celebrates fifty years of British album charts, telling you everything you could possibly want to know about every album to reach the Top 100. With new feature material covering a huge range of areas, bands and history, it's an essential part of any serious music fan's collection.
The Virgin Book of British Hit Albums covers everything, from the classics (Sgt Pepper, Nevermind, The Dark Side of the Moon) to the dodgy (Spiceworld, Seriously Orchestra) and the downright bizarre (Smurfs Go Pop!, Seventies Dinner Party).
Where else are you going to find out that:
Bridge over Troubled Water spent 307 weeks in the charts
Pavarotti has topped the album charts - twice
Lily Allen went triple-platinum in 2006 with Alright, Still
Oasis sold 356,000 copies of Be Here Now in one day alone
Both Gary Glitter and Mariah Carey released an album called Glitter
Donny Osmond has never made it to No. 1 in the album charts

Customer Reviews
Come on Virgin, I expected more. I guess this has been rushed out, but that's no excuse. If I buy a reference book I expect it to contain accurate information. I've only had it a day so I've no idea what errors I'll find next!
Its a great reference book and well presented.
Arrived very quickly and bigger than expected.
Rec to anyone who wants to know the anything and
everything about Hit Albums.
Virgin have taken control of producing this book from Guinness, and it is just as good. I only wish they could bring it more up to date. This is the latest available on the market, but only covers up until 2008.
mistakes in it, but so do all Chart Books. Read more
