Every artist to land a hit single during the year is documented and every one of their hits is catalogued. A full account of who made the charts, when, and most importantly why. The year which saw Soul II Soul come to prominence, although so did Jive Bunny. The year that unearthed Lisa Stansfield but also Sonia. And the year which began with a star from the sixties at the top of the charts and ended with the Stone Roses and Happy Mondays poised to change the world. The essential guide to a fascinating year in pop music, and the perfect reference book for any self-respecting 80s music fan.
