Thanks! Can already spot a big mistake in one of the images shared on Amazon: "Billion" instead of "million" for the streaming figures... oops.

Wow, that is quite a monumental error! Surely it won't go to print like that. Otherwise this book looks like a must purchase! |

It’s bad enough that everyone in the country has listened to Perfect 6 times, let alone 6,000 times.

What was the all-star British Christmas Number 1 that outsold the entire rest of the Top 40 in its first week on sale? Whose festive classic reached Number 2 at the time and took a further 30 years to reach the Number 1 spot at Christmas? Which X-Factor winner was denied the Christmas Number 1 by an unseasonal rap-metal record that was already 16 years old? Get 20% off at Waterstones!

 )

A few weeks earlier than I had planned, but here is a tempter for the first of two Music Chronicles that will be available in November.
 The book is 413 pages long. I am proof checking it at the moment, and expect it will be on sale via eBay in about 5 weeks time. Here are two sample pages:-

Songs like hallelujah, when we collide and can we fix it are just awful. |

I will do a full reveal with pricing and ordering details when the book is ready.
But I can say now that page for page it will be much cheaper than the OCC book. |

The OCC has twice removed my comment from their web site regarding streams being measured in billions instead of millions.
Wonder if their book will be updated before its release on October 28th? Perhaps the Publisher will include an errata slip. |

My copy arrived this morning, had a little thumb through it over lunch. Very well put together and a nice thing to have as a reference point for quiz nights ☺️
