Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)The "Hot Country Albums" book has been a neglected entry in the Whitburn line; the last edition was published in 1997.
While this is a welcome addition, the book contains a serious flaw: it does not provide "crossover" data for albums that charted on the primary chart, the Billboard 200, which ranks the top albums of all genres.
This was also an issue in Whitburn's book "Top Country Songs 1944-2005," which omitted crossover Hot 100 data, although it had been included in previous editions. After much criticism, this data has been reinstated for the newest edition of the book, to be released in late 2008.
There are enough improvements in this long-overdue edition to recommend it to music fans. However, Record Research's habit of withholding key information is disappointing.
