History It was one of several magazines that published charts of song popularity in the United States of America. Cash Box's most prominent competitors included Billboard and Record World (known as Music Vendor prior to the April 18, 1964, issue). Unlike Billboard, Cash Box initially combined all currently available recordings of a song into one chart position. Artist and label information was shown for each version, alphabetized by label. Originally, no indication of which version was the biggest seller was given. Beginning October 25, 1952, a star was placed next to the names of the most important artists. A record chart, also known as a music chart, is a method of ranking music according to popularity during a given period of time. ...

Separate charts were presented for juke box popularity, record sales and radio airplay, similar to Billboard's methodology prior to August 1958, when it debuted its Hot 100, which attempted to combine all measures of popularity into one all-encompassing chart. In addition, chart data were presented for specific genres such as country music. A jukebox is a partially automated music-playing device, usually a coin-operated machine, that can play specially selected songs from self-contained media. ...

Scandal In the 1980s, the management of Cash Box sold chart positions for cash. According to record producer Robert Metzgar, "The minimum amount for six to seven weeks on the chart was $2,500." When a 23-year-old Cash Box employee named Kevin Hughes threatened to reveal this, magazine management had him killed.[1] In 2005, former Cash Box magazine employee Richard "Tony" D’Antonio was sentenced to life in prison for the crime.
Revival In 2006, new owners revived Cashbox magazine on the Internet. While the web site is still under construction, it does feature music industry news, music charts and music reviews. Many of the music charts are copied from Billboard magazine. 2006 (MMVI) is a common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. ...
