COMING: THE REINCARNATION OF 1050 CHUM -- 1050 CHUM IS COMING BACK IN A NEW LIFE FORM

.....................................................


THE REINCARNATION OF 1050 CHUM

For fans of 1050 CHUM:

Were anticipating a new 1050 CHUM website brought to you by those who knew CHUM the best, Doug Thompson & Bob Laine.

READ BELOW:

As posted on 'The Southern Ontario/WNY Radio-TV Forum'

http://members2.boardhost.com/scrapbook/msg/1301100091.html


'... As for the 1050 CHUM fans, stay tuned. Bob Laine and I are working on a new CHUM website that'll bring back the glory of what once was the mighty 1050 CHUM. It'll be a few months before it launches, but we're well into it at this point and it looks, and sounds great (even if I do say so myself). We'll have much more (again, no pun intended) than the old 1050 CHUM site had.'

May 2007 1050 CHUM countdown - 'Craig M Smith's Chum Chart Fan Site' new site link

---------------------------------------------------------------


The following is from 'Craig M Smith's Chum Chart Fan Site'.  Sadly, Craig is no longer with us; however his love of 1050 chum will remain forever.

CHECK OUT THE FOLLOWING (NEW LINK) @ http://craig.sowny.ca/www/www3.sympatico.ca/craig.smith/chumi.htm

HOME: (NEW LINK) @ http://craig.sowny.ca/www/www3.sympatico.ca/craig.smith/music.htm

In April and May of 2007 1050 CHUM will play a countdown of the 694 songs that reached number one.

Listen in over the next few Saturdays from Noon to 6 PM to see where your fave #1 places. on the CHUM chart.

Ron Hall's CHUM chart book which was updated and released in 2007 lists 694 #1's Ron counts 1 record twice as it was # 1 in two distinct chart runs. There were 39 double sided # 1's

Ron mentions that the chart numbers were 5 out from the 1512 that were published. By my count in all there were 1517 charts including the last one that was prepared but not published.

So here's some #1 facts based on the 655 records (including the duplicate) that reached the top. Double sided hits are noted in brackets () but count as 1 record in the 655 universe. Most Number 1 records. There were 426 artists that reached #1.

22 (15) -- Beatles
19 (10)-- Elvis Presley
16 (1) -- Rolling Stones
8 -- Elton John (includes 1 w/ Kiki Dee & 1 with Dionne & Friends)
7 -- Bee Gees
7 -- Rod Stewart
6 (2) -- Monkees
5 -- Four Seasons
5 -- Queen (includes 1 w/ David Bowie)
5 -- Police
5 -- Duran Duran
5 -- Michael Jackson (includes 1w/ Paul McCartney) (+ 2 as a member of the Jackson 5/Jacksons.)
5 -- Paul McCartney (includes 1w/ Michael Jackson & 1/wStevie Wonder)
5 -- Phil Collins (includes 1w/ Philip Bailey & 1/w Marilyn Martin)(+1 as a member of Genesis)
Donny Osmond had 3 solo No 1's and two as apart of the Osmonds
(notes..The Dionne & Friends count as two artists in the overall 426 Dionne Warwick and Gladys Knight the other two friends Elton and Stevie had #1's on their own.. One off duets are counted in the 426 if one of the aritst had never reached the top before E.G. Frank Sinatra, Kiki Dee. The three charity records (Band Aid, U.S.A. For Africa and Northern Lights) count as one artist apiece.

Hal Weaver Chum Jock

Hal Weaver (Harold) - DJ CKRD Red Deer; evenings CJCA Edmonton 1964-65; CHLO St. Thomas, Ontario 1965; CKOC Hamilton 1967; CHUM Toronto 1968-70; CJOR Vancouver 1970; morning drive CKVN Vancouver 1970-71. Died of cancer on December 31, 1971 at age 28 in Surrey, B.C.

Hal Weaver is considered by many to have been one of the best Canadian-born rock jocks. He had a dynamic personality and voice to match. Listeners loved the "smile" carried in that big voice. His start in Radio came at CKRD in Red Deer, Alberta, but soon moved on to Edmonton in 1964. The following year he relocated to St. Thomas, Ontario, and after two years he moved to CKOC Hamilton. In 1968, J. Robert Wood pulled him over to CHUM where he stayed for two years before moving Vancouver's CKVN in 1970. Hal died at the age of 28 in December, 1971, at Surrey, B.C. - http://radiobud.webstarts.com/

When the great personality purge began at CHUM in 1968, their infamous chart went from Top 50 to Top 30--and their jocks went from Top Talent to Time & Temperature. Hal Weaver was in on that new wave. Here he is on on the eve of a major Canadian holiday, doing a "Million Dollar Weekend". But he shares the spotlight in this check with some classic late 60s summer spots. And we've left those intact: Clairol's "Come To The Sunshine" jingle (a 1967 hit for Harper's Bizzare), Johnson's "Turn On A Tan" Campaign, Joe Tex for Kentucky Fried Chicken, and a dynamic duet featuring Ray Charles & Aretha Franklin for Coke. - THE DAN HABER COLLECTION

Weaver died December 31, 1971. He was only 28 years old.

CHUM Chart History (updated)

-------------------------------------------

The CHUM Chart was a ranking of top 30 (and, until August 1968, the top 50) songs on Toronto, Canada, 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.[citation needed] In the early 2000s, sister station 104.5 CHUM FM, which airs a hot adult contemporary format, revived the CHUM Chart name for a new countdown show.

The CHUM Chart also aired as a television program on Citytv every Saturday at 2:00 p.m until January 2008 when the show was discontinued after Rogers Communications gained control of the Citytv stations. The program aired a list of the most popular songs in the countdown, starting from #30, playing approximately half of them.


History
The chart debuted on May 27, 1957, under the name CHUM's Weekly Hit Parade. The CHUM Chart name was adopted in 1961.

The chart was published for 1,512 consecutive weeks, and had 694 different #1 songs over the course of its original run. Its first #1 single was Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up", and its final #1 was Madonna's "Live to Tell".

From its inception until 1975, each week's CHUM Chart was published in a brochure format, with additional features promoting the station and its personalities. It was distributed to record stores and music venues across the city. In 1975, the brochure was discontinued, and each week's chart was instead published in the entertainment section of the Toronto Star. Mike Myers, Gordon Lightfoot, Dick Clark and Dave Thomas all reportedly own collections of CHUM Charts.

For the first 26 weeks in 1957, the chart published full information only for the top 10, listing only song titles for the remainder of the chart. On November 25, 1957, however, the chart began publishing information on all listed songs. Three minor hits from 1957, "I'm Gettin' the Message Alright", "Lonesome Heart" and "Teenage Heart", are still listed in the CHUM Chart archives as "Unknown Artist" as of 2007.

In 1959, the chart briefly added a Top 10 albums list, which was discontinued in 1960, revived in 1963 and discontinued again in 1967.

Author Ron Hall published The CHUM chart book (ISBN 0920325157) in 1983, listing every song that had appeared in the CHUM Charts to that point. Following the discontinuation of the chart, he published an updated edition in 1990 listing every charted song and profiling the history of the chart. The final chart, for the week of June 14, 1986, was never published until Hall's 1990 book. A commemorative list of all the chart's number one songs was also published in poster format by CHUM in 2007 to commemorate the station's 50th anniversary.
