- the Record or CD sleeves - The Guinness book of British Hit Singles
- 8th Edition or Sheet Music sales prior to 1952. The year is normally
- the original year of release unless remarked as a re-issue. Many of
- the classic old hit such as "Moonlight Serinade" by Glen Miller or
- Rete Petite by Jackie Wilson have been in the charts more than once
- over the last 5 decades.
-
- This version has over 100 new titles including the 1995 Brit Awards
- double CD and Annie Lennox's number 2 hit "No more I love yous"
- taken from her last?album "Medusa" (I wonder if she has a Risc PC
- running Sibelius and named it after the projects code name?)
-
- Enjoy.
