Description: Like the other books in the best-selling Billboard Number One Hit series, this volume offers insider's information on the songwriters, artists, producers, and label execs who crafted each of the 677 songs that made it to the top.

The author takes us on a 38-year musical tour, from the 1960s, when easy listening specialists like Dean Martin and Andy Williams had limited appeal to pop audiences, to the end of the 1990s, when #1 AC hits by artists like Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, Toni Braxton, Seal, and Boyz II Men were also #1 pop.
