Omschrijving

Great pop records are the soundtrack to our lives and that is why number one 
hits hold a totemic place in our culture. This film goes in search of what it 
takes to get a number one hit single, uncovering how people have done it, and 
the effect it had on their lives. As the exploration moves through the decades 
the goal is to trace the various routes that lead to the top of the singles 
chart, and discover the role played by art, science, chance and manipulation in 
reaching the pinnacle of pop.
