The Official Albums Charts: The Eighties is an unmissable collection of all the UKÕs Official charts, week-by-week, as full Top 75s and chronicling the great variety of music reflected by the most popular albums, on vinyl, CD, cassette (even 8-Track), in this most memorable of decades. That all adds up to more than 500 weeks of album charts. These are the rundowns recognised by the music industry as their official charts. That means the charts broadcast at the time by BBC Radio 1 and Top Of The Pops, and published by music industry magazine Music Week. Also included are the Official Compilation Albums Charts from 14 January 1989. This is the first time these Top 75s have been gathered together in the same place in a printed volume and is the first in a series of books which, over the coming months, will make up a collection of volumes spanning every week of the UKÕs Official albums and singles charts from 1952 to the present day.
