About This Item
We continue our popular and successful series devoted to the biggest chart records of each calendar year in the early chart era as we focus on 1946, the sixth full calendar year of the Billboard Best Sellers chart - the chart was launched in July 1940 - and the second year to feature both a Most Played in Juke Boxes and Most Played by Disc Jockeys charts as well. This great value 98-track 4-CD set comprises every record which peaked in the Top 10 of the Best Sellers and Disc Jockey charts during the year, plus those which reached the Top 7 of the Disc Jockey chart - the DJ chart often had several records tied at each position.
