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.

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.

CHUM HISTORY

"1050 CHUM" was a legendary Top 40 powerhouse during the late 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and early 1980s; it currently airs an oldies format featuring music from those decades. The station is owned and operated by CTVglobemedia, and is sister station to 104.5 CHUM FM.

Early history and Top 40 format

CHUM AM was launched as a dawn-to-dusk radio station on October 28, 1945 by Jack Q'Part, an entrepreneur in the business of patent medicines. The station, then operating from studios in the Mutual Street Arena, was taken over in December 1954 by Allan Waters, a salesman from Q'Parts' patent medicine business. Waters' first major move was to secure a license for 24-hour-a-day broadcasting for CHUM, along with a power increase to 5,000 watts. Less than three years after Waters acquired the station, and soon after bringing the new fulltime transmitter online, a major programming change was made. On May 27 1957, Waters switched to a "Top 50" format that had proven itself popular in some U.S. cities; Elvis Presley's "All Shook Up" was the first song played. "1050 CHUM" pioneered rock and roll radio in Toronto, and was noteworthy for hosting many noteworthy rock concerts including, among others, visits to Maple Leaf Gardens by Elvis Presley (1957) and The Beatles (1964, '65, and '66). While the station was rising to the top of the popularity ratings in Toronto in the early 1960s, it also built yet another new transmitter in Mississauga, Ontario (a few miles west of the current Toronto city line) along the Lake Ontario shoreline, and raised its power once again to its current 50,000 watts around the clock.

CHUM DJs of the 1960s were zany morning man Al Boliska, who quit in late 1963 to go 'across the street' to CKEY.He was replaced by WKBW, Buffalo radio & TV personality Jay Nelson, popularly known as "Jungle Jay" from his role as host of a children's show on Buffalo's Channel 7 which was also popular among Toronto youngsters. He would be followed by housewives' jock John Spragge; singer/DJ Mike Darow; Pete Nordheimer, replaced in 1961 by witty Bob McAdorey; teen DJ Dave Johnson; and all night maven Bob Laine. Later additions to the CHUM DJ lineup included Duff Roman and Brian Skinner, both of whom came over from CKEY (then owned by Jack Kent Cooke). In the late 1960s, early 1970s, CHUM DJ's included Duke Roberts (also known as Gary Duke for a time), Johnny Mitchell (better known today as Sonny Fox), J. Michael Wilson, Tom Rivers, Scott Carpenter, Jim Van Horne, John Rode, Don Reagan, Terry Steele and Roger Ashby. Among their later mighttime hosts was John D. Roberts, who joined CHUM in 1977 and would eventually become known across North America as White House correspondent for CBS-TV and today hosts CNN's morning program "American Morning."

CHUM was also well known for its contests, like the 1970s' "I Listen to CHUM" promotion, in which DJs would dial phone numbers at random and award $1,000 to anyone who answered the phone with that phrase.

From gold-based to oldies

By the mid-1980s, CHUM had lost ground in the Toronto ratings to competitor Top 40 station CFTR and FM-based music stations. On June 6, 1986, CHUM dropped its Top 40 format for a heavily gold-based adult contemporary format ("Favourites of Yesterday and Today"). By 1989, CHUM adopted an oldies format, drawing heavily on its previous Top 40 reputation to cater to the fans of that era's music.

SOMETHING ELSE DIED WITH CHUM .... The CHUMuseum

THE FOLLOWING ARTICLE CAN BE FOUND @
http://www.cbmf-fmcr.ca/Newsletter/march2009/chumuseum.php

The CHUMuseum By Bob Laine Five years ago, Doug Thompson, one of Canada's best radio creative minds got together with me to preserve the history and memories that were 1050 CHUM. Our first job was to put together a complete set of CHUM Charts, something that had never been done. Since the charts began in May of 1957, leftover charts were usually thrown out so CHUM never had that full set. After many days of detective work, we have now recreated that full set of CHUM charts, carefully protected in acid free covers. A parallel project belonged to Doug who searched out air checks of as many of the '60s and '70s D.J.s as we could find. And we found them in the weirdest places. A small piece of Dave Johnson's evening show in the '60s was discovered by accident on the reverse side of a tape. Doug found hours of my shows (I had only one hour in which to mirror a very long career.) Al Boliska was the best known CHUM Jock but we never found so much a one minute of his hilarious morning show. However, we now have a collection of hundreds of hours of CHUM shows. Sometime in CHUM's past, thousands of pictures were discarded and we needed these memories. Doug and I searched high and low and now we have a few thousand pictures of the jocks at various events as well as those now–famous CNE giveaways. We found the original art work for the first CHUM Chart done by artist Ben Wilson in early 1957. A cute story evolved out of this find. The CHUM mascot on that chart was a cat. I asked Ben how the cat came to be. It was Allan Waters' idea, he told me. So I called Allan and asked him why he chose a cat. “I didn't do that! It was Ben Wilson.” So the mystery continues and now, as time marches on, no one knows. We discovered the first ads CHUM ran after the very first Elliot-Haynes ratings that showed major audience increases and we found the September 1957 ad that showed CHUM #1...ahead of the giants of Toronto radio, CFRB and CKEY. With the passing of Allan Waters it became even more critical that we save these memories and artefacts. Jim Waters' support of our passion is immense and both Doug and I are indebted to him for this help. I started with CHUM in May of 1958 and never left. I retired in 2003 but came back the following week to begin gathering the CHUM Collection and Archives, which, one day will be on display for all to see through the Museum of Canadian Broadcasting. This way, we can fulfill Allan Waters' motto…“1050 CHUM Forever”. By the way, that slogan is etched in stone on his grave marker.
