The Jacksons. All the top 40 hits.

Meer over het boek

The Jacksons are far and away the most successful family ever to enter the music business. Since 1969, when I Want You Back became the Jackson 5’s first no.1 single, the family has scored numerous Top 40 singles and albums around the world. The two most successful members of the family, of course, are Michael and Janet, but this book focuses on the less well-known The Jackson 5, The Jacksons, Jermaine Jackson, La Toya Jackson, Rebbie Jackson and Tito Jackson’s three sons, 3T.For the purposes of this book, to qualify as a Top 40 hit, a single or album must have entered the Top 40 chart in at least one of the featured countries. The Top 40 hits are detailed chronologically, according to the date they first entered the chart in one or more of the featured countries. Each Top 40 single and album is illustrated and the catalogue numbers and release dates are detailed for the UK, followed by the chart runs in each country.The main listings are followed by ‘The Almost Top 40 Singles’, which gives an honourable mention to singles that peaked between no.41-50 in one or more countries, but which failed to enter the Top 40 in any. There is also a points-based list of the Top 30 singles and Top 20 albums, plus a fascinating Trivia section, which looks at the most successful singles and albums in each of the featured countries.
