From November 30, 1963 to January 23, 1965 there was no Billboard R&B singles charts. Some publications have used Cash Box magazine's stats in their place. No specific reason has ever been given as to why Billboard ceased producing R&B charts, but the prevailing wisdom was that the chart methodology used was being questioned, since more and more Caucasian acts were reaching number one on the R&B chart.
