The perfect gift for music lovers of all ages, The Official Christmas No. 1 Singles Book is jam-packed with facts, figures and photos to get your toes tapping along to the sounds of seven decades of festive chart-toppers. Have you ever wondered how many Christmas number ones actually have the word 'Christmas' in their title? Or how many TV talent-show winners have claimed the festive top spot? Do you know which artist has racked up the most Christmas number ones? Or which single is the biggest-selling seasonal chart-topper of all time? Can you name the only song to have topped the Christmas chart twice by two different artists? Or the only artist to have been Christmas number one twice with the same song? The answers to all these questions - plus many more - can be found in this exclusive festive companion, published in conjunction with the Official Charts Company. With a fully illustrated double-page spread for every year since the UK singles chart began in 1952, Michael Mulligan's fun and authoritative journey through the Christmas archives will delight curious browsers and dedicated pop nerds alike. Featuring top-ten countdowns, fascinating trivia about the highest-charting Christmas singles and plenty of entertaining infographics, this is the ideal family stocking-filler, celebrating all that is wonderful, whimsical and unpredictable about the festive season's most hotly contested musical event.

The Official Christmas No. 1 Singles Book Reviews

'[A] superior stocking filler ... Respected pop historian Michael Mulligan's book is well-timed ... his small book crams a wealth of detail and well-researched trivia ... A Christmas cracker. 4/5' -- Record Collector

About Michael Mulligan

Michael Mulligan originates from the outskirts of Southend-on-Sea, Essex. As a teenager, he would buy as many as five music newspapers a week and could chart the growth of his music knowledge by his ability to complete the crossword puzzles. In 1990, Mulligan got a job at his local record shop and spent the next twenty-five years working for all manner of music retailers. More recently, he has been a consultant for various record labels, mining their archives for overlooked gems. He has also authored several tie-in books for the successful NOW That's What I Call Music brand. Mulligan lives in north London with two cats, a patient and indulgent wife and an 'in no way too large' record collection.
