CHUM Chart
Overview
The CHUM Chart was a ranking of top 30 (and, until August 1968, the top 50) songs on Toronto, Ontario radio station CHUM 1050 AM
, from 1957 to 1986, and was the longest-running Top 40 chart in the world produced by an individual radio station. In the early 2000s, sister station 104.5 CHUM FM

The CHUM Chart also aired as a television program on Citytv

gained control of the Citytv stations and replaced it with the JackNation chart, a show based on their Jack FM
