This great-value 104-track collection comprises every record which charted in the Top 15 of the Billboard Best Sellers and Honor Roll Of Hits and the Top 10 in the Cash Box chart during 1951. It omits certain records which peaked in 1951and which have already appeared in our America's Greatest Hits 1951 collection and some which were big hits in 1949, and had already peaked, so will appear in that collection. As with all these collections it features all the biggest hits of the year and all the biggest names in American pop of that era, at a time when the USA was emerging from post-war austerity into a more optimistic decade but was about to become embroiled in the Korean War, and it very much captures the spirit of the times. It also includes a number of lesser known records which are not heard very often and which have not been readily available on CD. As always, it includes a substantial 15,000-word booklet with a commentary on every track, and it's a must for collectors of our completist chart-based anthologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAndrews Sisters - I Can Dream Can't I'\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bing Crosby - Dear Hearts And Gentle People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Bing Crosby - Mule Train\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dinah Shore - Dear Hearts And Gentle People\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Dick Haymes - The Old Master Painter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tony Martin - There's No Tomorrow\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Richard Hayes - The Old Master Painter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jo Stafford ; Gordon MacRae - Bibbidi-Bobbidi-Boo (The Magic Song)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Jack Teter Trio - Johnson Rag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ames Brothers - Rag Mop\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Buddy Clark - A Dreamer's Holiday\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Red Foley - Chattanoogie Shoe Shine Boy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Owen Bradley ; His Quintet - Blues Stay Away From Me\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Phil Harris ; His Orchestra - The Old Master Painter\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Tony Martin ; Fran Warren - I Said My Pajamas\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Teresa Brewer - Music!
