[Gary Shield · Rating 5 out of 5]

A fantastic compact book for any music trivia addict. Full of interesting facts covering the year, the transition of different music formats/listening methods and key details about every Christmas number one singer and song from 1952 to 2020. Nicely presented with each decade having an introduction, the Christmas Top Ten singles presented by year, artist information for the top two singles on the chart, follow up track information and some additional facts about the year. Really nice book of facts.
