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. |
