We continue our highly popular and successful America’s Greatest Hits series as we work back through the 1950s, now reaching the point at the turn of the decade, this time with an expanded 4-CD edition to sit alongside the existing single CD 1950 edition (ACRCD176) originally released in 2006 before we introduced the 4-CD format in recent years. 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.

This fascinating and thoroughly entertaining 3CD set is now available!
Here's what I had to say about it on All Music Guide:
"The idea of ‘banning’ a song from being broadcast over the airwaves is a familiar story here in the U.S., especially when it comes to offensive lyrics. Many of the decisions made by the FCC have been no-brainers and have met with some resistance but were, for the most part, justifiable. But in the UK (especially during the years covered on this three CD set), the BBC’s judgments on what was inappropriate for airplay made U.S. radio sound like a crowded brothel during happy hour!

Across 4CDs comes a collection of over 100 of the cosiest Christmas numbers, perfect to relax to around the roaring fire. CDs 1-3 feature the tones of some of the world's most loved singers including Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby, Elvis Presley and Andy Williams to get you in the festive mood alongside a host of recognisable Christmas classics such as 'Jingle Bell Rock', 'Santa Baby', 'Winter Wonderland' and many, many more. Disc 4 is a bonus disc of 20 sensational Christmas carols performed by The Choir of Trinity College, Cambridge and includes 'Silent Night', 'O Come, All Ye Faithful' and 'Away In A Manger'. All this makes this undoubtedly 'The Cosiest Christmas Album In The World… Ever!'

Enjoy this Compilation with the most successful Christmas in Hollywood singers like Bing Crosby; Trudy Stevens; Peggy Lee; Danny Kaye, Doris Day and many more!

Our American chart hits series now reaches 1948 and includes classic tracks all of which reached the top on the American Hot 100. Rock and Roll was still a couple of years away and American pop music remained as king of the hill. This album presents the very best from a strong year and the track listing speaks for itself.
