"Covers and Collaborations – The Number Ones Album" a celebration of Liverpool's world record for being the city with the most number of chart topping singles. The album will feature unique cover versions of some of the 56 number one singles performed by its leading artists. The remainder will be for sale via the project's website www.thenumberoneproject.org. The single and album will be available to buy at all major record stores across the UK and in digital download formats while sponsors Bacardi are investing heavily in helping us directly market the records online and at retail.
