I recently got access to a copy of the "Musicosas" book

A couple of weeks ago I visited the library of the Universidad Veracruzana, where they have a copy of the book "Musicosas", the book that contains the monthly charts of the Selecciones Musicales magazine from 1948 to 1960 and which Mejía Barquera used in order to do his annual charts for those years. One thing I found is that the charts compiled in that book include the song titles and the name of the composers, which is to say, they do NOT credit the singers. But Mejía Barquera's annual charts do include the names of the singers, which would mean that he did original research to find out who were the singers who recorded the songs and made them famous, and when he credited some songs as having been recorded by "various artists", I guess that either he found that those songs had been recorded by too many performers to list them all, or he wasn't able to actually find who had recorded them. I'll try to find out who were the singers who recorded the songs that he credited to "Various artists" and I'll include them in this article.

Also, I uploaded all the montly charts from the Musicosas book scanned by me. Whoever is interested in consulting them, I've uploaded them to a Facebook page named "Listas musicales de México - Notitas Musicales y Selecciones Musicales", you'll find them on the albums section, each album contains more or less one year of charts. I'm also interested in publishing those monthly charts here on Wikipedia in the future. --CHUI372 (talk) 20:37, 6 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
