They're Heeeere!

The brand new Record Research "Top Pop Records, 1990 - 2022" books arrived from the printer yesterday ...

And orders are being prepped and shipped as you read this!

"Top Pop Records, 1990 - 2022" is the perfect companion piece to Joel Whitburn's "Top Pop Records, 1955 - 1989" book published last year ... and, it, too, is now printed in full color!

Here's a picture of Paul Haney holding the first copy going out the door ...

I'm told this book had the largest pre-order sales of any book in Record Research history ...

So if you don't already have a copy en route to you via a pre-order, pop on over to the website and complete your collection today!

Paul Haney tells us ...

Hi Kent,
Good news!  
Our printer just shipped the long-awaited Top Pop Singles 1990-2022 book, and it should be arriving at our offices later today (11/7).  We are hiring extra help to get the orders out as quickly as possible.  
The book is in full color, and I think it turned out great!  Joel's daughter Kim (now President of Record Research) wrote a moving dedication to her dad, and I think he would've loved this book, the last project he ever worked on.  
The past year and a half have been a bit surreal, with both Joel and Fran passing, but we intend to honor Joel's wishes that his company keeps moving forward.  
We have a couple of book projects in store for 2024, which will mark our 54th year in business.  We truly appreciate the support from all of our wonderful customers over the years and hope that they keep buying our books!

And don't forget ...
November 29th marks our 2nd Annual Joel Whitburn Day here in Forgotten Hits!

Please share a special memory or story about the impact Joel's books have had on your life.  (All I know is that during those past 54 years that Paul Haney just mentioned, there hasn't been a SINGLE day where I didn't consult one of his books for SOMETHING!!!)

The celebration will run three weeks from today on November 29th ...

So get your stories in to us now.
