Liverpool - The World's Capital City of Pop.
The experts at Guinness World Records, who are now planning to launch their new publication here, have made it official. The city has produced 53 number one singles and twenty one chart topping acts, including such names as Atomic Kitten, Mel C, Frankie Goes to Hollywood and of course The Beatles.

It is because of this fact, that the latest edition of Guinness World Records British Hit Singles will be launched on the 25th May at The Cavern Club Liverpool, with the help of Atomic Kitten. A spokesman for Guinness said: "With a population of 461,481, Liverpool has produced a staggering 53 number one hit singles. This fact makes it the Capital City of Pop, with a number one for every 8,707 Scousers.

To Coincide with the book launch, the first of it's kind outside London, a presentation will be made to Atomic Kitten for their own number one song Whole Again. This kept them in the number one slot for four weeks, making them the only female trio to stay at the top of the charts for this length of time, beating such names as The Three Degrees, The Supremes and Bananarama.18/05/01
