Description
The Festive Fifty: A Chart of Musical Excellence First broadcast in 1976 by John Peel on his Radio One show, the Festive Fifty has become an iconic chart compiled from listener votes. Since then, Dandelion Radio have continued to update and expand the chart, incorporating new information and insights. This book provides a comprehensive history of the Festive Fifty, covering all subsequent charts as well as previously unknown details from 1977. It answers questions such as which album had eight tracks in the festive fifty, which bands scored consecutive single releases, and what record appeared in seven festive fifties. The book also compiles charts of top artists, albums, labels, session tracks, and featured bands. With its unique blend of music history and chart analysis, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in the world of music, particularly those who appreciate rare and obscure records.
