Joes Whitburn Presents: Joel Whitburn Presents - Cash Box - Regional Hits 1958
The record business was booming in 1958, and the influx of new sounds, new songs, new artists and new labels made competition for the 100 weekly coveted spots on the national charts rarified air.
To rediscover the long lost gems of this era, Joel researched the regional charts of Cash Box magazine, city by city, town by town, coast to coast.
This artist-by-artist anthology uncovers all of the records that only appeared on the local listings (Disc Jockey, Juke Box and Retail Outlets) and did not appear on the national pop singles charts of Billboard, Cash Box or Music Vendor magazines. Now, these rare records have definitive research showing the exact dates and places that they tasted fame.
By 1958, I was really into collecting records. I could bring my records with me in a little carrying case and play them on my portable player. The 45 rpm had exploded by ’58 – they were not as fragile as their predecessor, the 78 rpm, and they were a convenient size.
And the songs! The artists! The Platters, The Every Brother, and Elvis and 1000s of others! I remember going to Radio Doctors record shop in Milwaukee and each week there would be scores of new singles -- many on small, independent labels. And some were never on the national pop singles charts.
1958 was a huge year for the breakout of the 45rpm single. The 78rpm was pretty much dead and the 45s were being issued in 'record' numbers. The small and rare independent labels (some of which are shown on this book’s front and back cover) were flooding record shops from coast to coast.
Rockabilly records from small towns to big cities were booming all across the USA. Many great tunes lingered on their local Top 10 surveys; a staggering amount of hot new releases each week lead to a bottleneck in breaking on to the bustling national charts.
This is why I researched these Top 10 Regional charts -- to rediscover and spotlight these lost local legends, and showcase them on colorful pages. Now they finally have definitive research showing the exact dates and places they tasted fame.

Joel Whitburn
From pastime to passion to profitable enterprise, the growth of Record Research has been the outgrowth of Joel Whitburn’s hobby. Joel began collecting records as a teenager in the 1950s. As his collection grew, he began to sort, categorize and file each record according to the highest position it reached on Billboard magazine's charts. He went on to publish this information — first on individual artists’ cards, then in book form in 1970 — and a business was born.
Today, Joel leads a team of researchers who delve into all of Billboard’s music charts to an unmatched degree of depth and detail. Widely recognized as the most authoritative historian on charted music, Joel has also collaborated with Warner/Rhino Records in creating a series of 150 CD albums, plus five CD albums with Curb Records. Joel’s own record collection remains unrivaled the world over and includes every charted Hot 100 and pop single (back to 1936), every charted pop album (back to 1945), collections of nearly every charted Country, R&B, Bubbling Under The Hot 100 and Adult Contemporaryrecords. Ever the consummate collector, Joel also owns one of the world’s largest picture sleeve collections, many of which he displays in the series of books (Top 40 Hits, Top 40 Albums, Top 40 Country Hits, Top 40 R&B Hits) he writes for Billboard’s book division. To date, Record Research has published nearly 200 books, over 50 of which are currently in the catalog.
Joel's site, www.recordresearch.com, brought his enormous database online in 2009. The MusicVault, complete with chart data and record photos, has proved to be an immediate, reliable wellspring of data
