Our effort at Cashbox is to make surfing the charts fun and simple. All our archives will be available for free. Unlike our competition, our charts are not going to be based on out-of-the-box sales. They may show several hundred thousand sold, but what about the maybe tens of thousands of returns six months later. (This is a false impression.) Also a note to the wise: We will never censor music; however, artists who have confrontational or questionable lyrics will not grace the front covers of our magazine.

We want to promote music and make it fun again, not present a political commentary or representation of negative attitudes. A new generation of young people needs positive role models, and music artists have a great deal of influence on our youth and what they become later in life.

All albums sent to Cashbox for review will be given consideration. Our panel of judges is not like our competitors; these are real radio reviewers, and if they see things negatively, you'll get a review that reflects that—the same goes for a positive review. No one knows their identities but our staff, so no undue influence can come their way.

Record labels and artist are put on notice that no advertisement in any way will guarantee you a chart position. You promote your product honestly with us and we don’t roll the dice. A lot of factors will weigh into chart position, but this I guarantee: it will be the most accurate of all the competitors.
