Fedepeti Here The List of errors and corrections:

The B-sidehits "You Can't Always Get What.." (US no. 42) and "Hot Stuff" (US no. 49) were missing. Also, the album "England's Newest Hitmakers" is listed as no. 1 in the US. It was in fact no higher than no. 11.

More singles hits are missing: "Play with Fire", a B-side, went to no. 96 in the US. "Let's Spend the Night Together" is listed as a US non-hit, while it really was no. 55 in Billboard. "In Another Land" got to no. 87 in the US. "Out of Time" (Metamorphosis-version) was no. 81 in the States. "Sweet Thing" was the Mick most important solo hit in the UK (except "Dancing in...") reached no. 24 and no. 84 in US.

"One Hit" is listed as no. 80 in the UK. This was bubbling under the official top 75. If Aeppli wants to have the UK bubblers between 76 and 100, he should at least include "Terrifying"(UK no. 82) and "Lucky in Love" (UK no. 91, it is wrongly listed as no. 49 in TUG)

Some albums are also absent: "Monkey Grip" went to no. 99 in the US. "Gimme Some Neck" was an American chart hit at no. 45. "Main Offender" peaked at no. 45 in the UK.
Charlie Watts "Long Ago & Far Away" was his only chart hit
peaking at no. 86 in the UK in 1996.
If solo hits are included, why not "Jamming with Edward", which was tumbling the US chart way up to no. 33 in the spring of 1972. I think Billboard credited it to Nicky Hopkins only, which could explain much...

Additional errors: "Out of Tears" climbed to no. 38 in the UK, not no. 36. "Throwaway" was no. 67 in the US and not a hit in the UK, it is the other way around (UK no. 67, US non-hit) in the book. "Get Stoned" went to no. 8 in the UK. I know it is listed as no. 13 in some other books... "Dirty Work" peaked at no. 4 in the UK, not no. 3. "London Years-the Singles Collection" reached no. 91 in the US, not no. 88. "Out of Control" was no. 51 in the UK and "She's the Boss" got no higher than no. 13 in the US, it was according to the book a no. 3 hit there.

Gazza You have to remember that THAT book came out about 6 years ago

Felix produced a list of corrections and updated information since then (much of which wasnt available at the time) and is working on an online revised edition

On June 16, 2001 the hit counter of the WET page was inserted here, it had 174,489 hits. Now the hit counter is for both the page and the board.
The hit counter of the ITW board had 1,127,645 hits when it was closed and the Coolboard didn't have hit counter but was on line only two months and a half.
