CHUM Chart
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The CHUM Chart is a weekly music chart in Canada, which counts down the week's Top 30 hits. The chart, launched on May 27, 1957 on 1050 CHUM in Toronto, was for many years the most influential hits chart in Canada. The station provides a searchable archive of CHUM Charts on its website, which remains as of 2005 the only widely available archive of past Canadian pop charts available on the Internet.
The CHUM Chart was discontinued on June 14, 1986, when CHUM changed its format from Top 40 to adult contemporary and later to oldies. In the early 2000s, sister station CHUM-FM, a hot adult contemporary station, revived the brand. The modern CHUM Chart program is hosted by Cory Kimm, and also airs on Citytv Toronto as a weekend television series.
