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.

'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 13 spots done by INXS with their single Pretty Vegas which jumped all the way from 17 to 4.
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.
Kelly Clarkson's hit single Since U Been Gone spent 12 weeks in the top three the longest stay within 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 in a row.
U2's hit single Vertigo (song) spent an impressive 8 weeks at number 1 the longest stay in this position.
