In the USA there are the Billboard charts and you have  Joel Whitburn  with his chart reference books.

The UK is another country with a long chart tradition and its chart reference books from Guinness.

And what do you have in Europe  -  including Germany, the world's third-largest music market...?

Well, I want to change this with:

SingleEurope - the first ever coverage of all the singles that made one or more of the official
sales charts in Germany, Switzerland, Austria and the Netherlands - at one glance!

For a start I am ready to publish a book including extensive research for:

• Germany           ©  by Der Musikmarkt (1965-1977), Media Control (1977-2011)
• Switzerland      ©  by DRS (1968-1983), Media Control (1983-2011)
• Austria               ©  by Der Musikmarkt (1980-1989), Media Control (1990-2011)
• Netherlands     ©  by Stichting Nationale Hitparade (1969-1993), Mega Charts/Dutchcharts (1993-2011)

Look  on this page  for samples of the content you can expect.

What I'm missing are the licences from chart compilers Musikmarkt, Media Control and Dutchcharts.
To convince them I have to show them that there is interest in such a publication and there will be a market for it when it's released.

Therefore I need your help!
