I've already placed my order for "Top 10 Pop Hits"-I can't wait to receive it.

Placed my order for both books. I have this question though:

If Record Research knew they were going to come out with a book covering all of the Top 10 singles from 1940 - 2010, then why did they start the Cream of the Pop series?

I purchased the Cream of the Pop 1950's and Cream of the Pop 1960's booklets. Then I thought they might continue with other decades. I guess not.

Seeing the original Billboard ads in the booklets was fun, but all of the songs will just be repeated in this new book.

Last year, I did email Record Research asking if they had plans to produce these products:

DVD or Book of weekly Billboard Album charts (60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's)
DVD or Book of weekly Billboard Soul singles charts (60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's)
DVD or Book of weekly Billboard Adult Contempory charts (60's, 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's)

Since they had just finished publishing the DVD for the HOT 100 2000's, I thought they might move to other charts. Their answer was no.
