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 revived the brand. The modern CHUM Chart program is hosted by Cory Kimm, and also airs on Citytv Toronto as a weekend television series.

Currently, Pink has the #1 hit with her single Who Knew knocking out Red Hot Chilli Peppers out of the top spot to the #5 spot with their single Dani California.

The top five as of August 19, 2006 is:

#	Artist	Song	Last Week	Peak	Weeks
#1	Pink	"Who Knew"	#4	#1 (1 week)	12
#2	Christina Aguleria	"Ain't No Other Man"	#2	#2	10
#3	Nickelback	"Far Away"	#5	#3	11

'Trivia'

Hoobastank's The Reason took only five weeks to get to #1, which makes it the fastest single to get to #1. The Bodyrockers hit single I Like The Way (You Move) came extremely close to breaking Hoobastank's record, and Duran Duran's hit single Reach Up For The Sunrise, both taking only an impressive six weeks to get to number 1.

The greatest jump on the Chum Chart was 11 spots done by Black Eyed Peas Don't Lie which went from 23 to 12,Outkast's hit single Hey Ya! which went from 21 to 10, Bowling For Soup's single 1985 which went from 25 to 14, No Doubt's hit single It's My Life which went from 21 to 10, Goo Goo Dolls single Give A Little Bit which went from 20 to 9, Green Day's hit single Boulevard of Broken Dreams which went from 19 to 8 and Nelly's hit single Over and Over which went from 16 to 5.

The songs that had the shortest stay on the countdown was Ryan Cabrera's single On The Way Down which debuted at number 30 and ascended to 26 but then suddenly left the countdown and Jessica Simpson's Take My Breath Away which debuted at 29 and stayed at 29 and then left the countdown.

Seether's single Broken featuring Amy Lee peaked at 25 and descended to 28 and left the Chum Chart, but then after some weeks, it came back on the countdown debuting at 28 which is extremely rare on The Chum Chart.

Maroon 5's single This Love and Nelly Furtado's hit single Powerless (Say What You Want) spent nine weeks in the top three, the longest stay in these ranks.

Nelly Furtado's single Powerless (Say What You Want) has the longest stay at the runner-up position number 2 staying there for an impressive 6 weeks.

U2's hit single Vertigo (song) spent an impressive 8 weeks at number 1 the longest stay in this position.
