He's Done It Again!

Just as he did several years ago when he published the first "Bubbling Under" chart book covering those "almost hits" that just missed making Billboard's Hot 100 Chart ...

And a few years ago with "Hit Records, #101 - #150", covering the songs that fell short on the Music Vendor / Record World Charts ..

Joel Whitburn has now put together a brand new book of "Just Misses" bringing the Cash Box Charts completely up to date.

Called "Looking Ahead", this book documents EVERY record to fall short of Cash Box's Top 100 Chart ... nearly 6500 titles in all ... over 3500 of which do not appear in his Billboard Top Pop Singles book covering the history of the Billboard Pop Charts!

That means ALL kinds of brand new entries ... regional hits ... novelty tunes ... doo wop ... jazz ... bubblegum ... garage band rock ... and much, much more.

The book is currently available for pre-order ... with special discounted pricing through the late-June publication date.

Lots more information (and sample pages) on The Record Research Website ...
