# Top Pops

Top Pops is an original jazz compilation by Nat King Cole. It was released initially as 8 Top Pops in the 10-inch Capitol Records' LP format in 1952. An expanded (12-track) version was reissued in 1955 in a 12-inch LP format as Top Pops. Four additional "bonus" tracks were added to later CD reissues.
