Joel Whitburn Strikes (Country 1944-2005) Again

FYI: this invaluable resource is being updated this fall: Top Country Songs 1944-2005

And, while you are doing P-O's for approval, tell your GM that I said that Jeff Green's amazing compendium is also vitally-important to any creative producer.

It classifies 25000 popular songs by nearly 1400 themes; includes discographies - GREEN BOOK OF SONGS BY SUBJECT

My advice: ya gotta HAVE them both!
