From the publisher

The Billboard Book of Number 1 Hits provides the inside scoop behind every song since 1955 through present known to reach the pinnacle of the legendary and most-respected record chart in the world - Billboard's Hot 100. Entries include vivid anecdotes from the hit-making artists, songwriters and producers; a brief history of the song; the chart entry date and position; the number of weeks on the chart; the date the song reached number one; and much more. This is the ultimate music reference book for every rock fan.

First line

THE typical record industry executive picking up the July 9, 1955 issue of Billboard might have taken notice that the new number one single on the Best Sellers in Stores chart was "(We're Gonna) Rock Around the Clock" by Bill Haley and His Comets, and then moved on to the more pressing news stories of the day.
