May 28, 200619 yr Is this book known for making lots of mistakes then? Yes, very much so, David. It makes many mistakes every edition - for instance, it has got Texas' chart runs wrong several times, missing off whole albums and singles!

May 29, 200619 yr Jamie Cullum's most recent hit was Mind Trick, not Mind Track Thats true, didn't notice that :)
May 29, 200619 yr Yes, that was in the days of CC, we had a huge thread full of mistakes! :lol: Its good to buy still, as the majority of the information is correct! so no one bought the book that came out 4 weeks ago? or does the Guinness book have such a cult that everyone will ignore other chart books even though guinness might be useless
May 29, 200619 yr Yes, very much so, David. It makes many mistakes every edition - for instance, it has got Texas' chart runs wrong several times, missing off whole albums and singles! however in this instance i wouldnt mind if it read 42 67 75 56 74 :lol: :lol:
