I got mine last week. Please do the '80s next! (If possible, maybe even put in the little bit of the '90s since they didn't make it through the decade!)
Something I always noticed looking at old charts in print and online, is, despite the fact they were competing magazines, how similar they were in how the charts were run.
Examples: a song had to debut at No. 90 or higher before it got a bullet (or star); for many years, if a song had a bullet it wouldn't fall the next week (this rule was changed in Billboard in 1983 and in Cashbox a few years later); how no song debuted in the No. 100 position (in Billboard from 1977 to 1988; in Cashbox from somewhere around 1980 right to the end); how most songs falling down the chart would drop into the 90s the week before falling off.
There are others, but could it just be a co-incidence that each of the chart directors set them up that way?

Just curious, but does the publication of this book have anything to do with the online Cash Box chart archive being suspended?

No, it does not. BTW, I don't think the Cash Box chart archive has been suspended (I'm still able to access it this morning).

Sorry if I sounded accusatory. It was not my intention. I honestly thought it might be Cash Box that was doing it, not Record Research. I was just wondering if they did it because the book was coming out.
And you're right. The archive is back up. Yesterday, though, it had a been notice that the IP address had been suspended.
