Product Description
I want my MTV…Book of Pop and Rock World Records 2011!

Country by country, genre by genre, and act by act, MTV presents a fun, fresh, and informative look at the entire world of music. This record book covers it all, from the top-selling albums in history to the first-ever video that aired on TV, from the number one R 'n' B solo artist to the most downloaded songs ever, it's got everything today's discerning music fan wants to know.

About The Author
Dafydd Rees and Luke Crampton enjoyed London-based careers in the music business before co-founding the Media Research & Information Bureau (MRIB) in 1981, which became the largest chart-compiling and music research agency in Europe. Previously the official adjudicators for the Ivor Novello awards and the World Music Awards, Dafydd and Luke are currently voting members for the Grammy Awards, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. They co-wrote the Q Magazine Encyclopedia of Rock Stars, Rock and Roll Year By Year, The Guinness Book of Rock Stars, Rock Movers and Shakers, and Wham! The Official Biography, as well as biographies of Bob Dylan, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin, Barry White and Bob Marley. They are both based in the USA.

"Dafydd" is the Welsh equivalent of "David"! :wink:

I've got three or four books by these guys that give year-by-year and sometimes day-by-day accounts of the greatest acts in popular music, and I find them endlessly fascinating. I haven't seen an updated volume in ten years, so I might have to check this out.

Jim:
I agree-I used to love their books, but I saw this one at B&N and it's pretty lame-avoid it. It's not at all an updated version of the excellent VH1 sponsored book they did.
