Thanks to the good folks at Record Research, we are proud to bring you our 2022 Joel Whitburn Trivia Contest!
It's all part of our First Annual Joel Whitburn Birthday Celebration.
One winner will be selected from all of the correct entries received …
And they will win the Joel Whitburn / Record Research book of their choosing, courtesy of Record Research. (You just may have to do a little bit of record research of your own to come up with some of these answers! Lol)
We'll accept your answers thru Noon Central Time on Sunday, November 27th ...
And then announce the winner as part of our First Annual Joel Whitburn Day celebration on Tuesday, November 29th.
[Please remember to send in your memories, thoughts and comments about how Joel and his books impacted your life over the years so we can include these next Tuesday as well!]
Meanwhile, good luck to all of you chartaholics out there …
And as for the rest of you casual observers, remember …
