Additional Details: EXTENDED EDITION

We continue our highly popular and successful America's Greatest Hits series as we work back through the 1950s, this time with an expanded 4-CD set edition to sit alongside the existing single CD 1954 edition (ACRCD198) originally released in 2006 before we introduced the 4-CD format in recent years. This great-value 109-track collection comprises every record which charted in the Top 15 of the Billboard or Cash Box Sellers, or the Billboard Honor Roll of Hits, or in the Top 10 Top of Billboard's Most Played by Jockeys and Most Played in Jukeboxes during 1954 (it omits certain records which peaked in 1955 and which have already appeared in our America's Greatest Hits 1955 collection and some which were big hits in 1953, and had already peaked, so will appear in that collection). As with all these collections it features all the biggest hits of the year, but 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 12,000-word booklet with a commentary on every track, and it's a must for collectors of our completist chart-based anthologies
