Title: Looking for a Particular Track?
Post by: Glen J. Millar (deceased) on October 12, 2003, 08:41:14 AM
And here is another site. This will give you all the top hits from 1930 to 1999. Lists are not ordered, but still a good reference resource.

Everyhit (http://www.everyhit.co.uk/index.html) have details of every UK hit from 1952 to present day. So if you need to know an artist or title, have a look at their site.

If you hear music from a popular advert on TV, check out http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk (http://www.commercialbreaksandbeats.co.uk)

At the moment it is just in the UK, but some adverts may be played internationally.

Hi,

  Just to let you know that the Commercials Breaks & Beat's website has gone down due to someone deleting there entire database. Now that's a pain in the arse because that website was very useful

Has anyone heard of Joe Wodarek - A father's love?  I've been asked for it for a father/daughter dance.  Google, Amazon, iTunes and 7Digital all came up with nothing.  It's possible that the bride got the title wrong (I get that quite a lot - most often 'Summer loving' instead of 'Summer nights').

Google says that Joe Wodarek is the lead singer of The Stickers and that he is a US artist - so maybe some of our members across the pond might be able to help.

Its a challenge these days. All the latest music w/ video is posted on youtube much sooner than the Dj services release it. I wish youtube would just have a download button where you could legally purchase a video or song. Us dj's are just not "cool" if it is on youtube and we don't have it yet.

There is a You Tube downloader that downloads the video then converts it to Mp3...but it's not legal to get the song like that even though many are doing it. YT is not in the market to sell Videos or audio...Frustrating!

I don't how many of you used to AllMusic for any of your music information but I used it get chart information from their site. Just recently I was doing some of my music by putting the highest chart position on my tracks and received the following message .... Billboard has changed their licensing terms and the cost associated with licensing that information to display on AllMusic was way WAY more than we can afford. We're pretty bummed about it but we simply can't afford to license the information from them anymore.

It's a good thing I bought 2 of Joel Whitburn's books. Billboard Book Of Top 40 Hits 1955 - 2004 and Top 40 Country Hits 1942 - 2006.
