In Canada, is the Canadian Hot 100 now used as the definitive pop chart of the home country? I know that it has always been more mixed up in Canada (The Record in the 80s, I believe), and was a particular mess in the late 90s/ pre iTunes eras when singles were cut out.

Enjoy!

Yes, the Canadian Hot 100 is now the official singles chart of Canada.

Much to my dismay. :(

Interesting. So what sources do Canadian chart historians use prior to the Canadian Hot 100? Is it just a mixture of things like sales charts and CHUM playlists?

[Devil Marlena Nylund]

I'd be curious to know as well. There never really seemed to be a good list that was central. Jam! @ Canoe used to post a singles chart (still found here: jam.canoe.ca/Music/Charts/SINGLES.html), which was pitiful up until the Canadian Hot 100 came along but I think was used as the official chart until then. So from 2002 until 2007 or whenever it was, random American Idol singles were what held #1.

That depends on who you ask. The word you hear most among Canadian chart enthusiasts is inconsistency. A big part of the problem too is that among the general public in Canada, the American Billboard Hot 100 was always looked to as THE source of what was popular. The Hot 100 is still the most quoted chart on Canadian media, even though we now have our own version.

As near as I can tell, the official or close to official Canadian singles charts have been:

1955-59, CBC TV's Cross-Canada Hit Parade (determined by radio and tv stations)
1964-1981 RPM, first ranking the top 45's, then a Top 100 chart which copied Billboard's HOT 100 sales/radio airplay formula, with additional input from record labels.
1981-1992ish The Record's Singles Sales chart, even though the RPM 100 was still going strong throughout that period. RPM had also started a retail singles chart, but The Record's was more regarded and printed in Billboard's International charts section.
1992-1999/2000 Even though the labels started to release fewer and fewer singles, what was available was still being charted by The Record and was still being printed in Billboard as Canada's official singles chart. By the mid-90's, RPM 100 was an airplay only list, with combined CHR, Rock and AC/Hot AC reporters.
1997, SoundScan was used by both RPM and The Record, and the SoundScan singles chart was now authoritative, even though very few singles of popular songs were being released.
In 2000/2001, Both RPM and The Record ceased publication, but canoe.ca kept publishing the SoundScan sales charts and still does to this day. They also publish the BDS all-format airplay chart.
2001 New trade magazine Canadian Music Network starts publishing the Canadian BDS airplay audience chart (100 titles) and many favour it over the SoundScan chart with its very few hit titles making the list.
2002 Canada's major labels agree to bring life back to the cd single and start releasing more and more hit titles. The SoundScan chart is looked to with more interest as Canada's official singles chart.
Mid-2000's Only a couple of years after trying to re-invigorate the cd singles market, the labels once again start holding back the majority of hit songs on physical formats and start making digital product available to legal download sites. The majority of hit songs can now be purchased digitally. The SoundScan physical singles chart, however, still plugs along, despite the huge decrease in product. Canadian Music Network also ceases publication, along with the Canadian BDS Airplay audience chart. The Canadian BDS All-format airplay chart on canoe.ca is now looked upon with more favour.
2005/2006 Billboard starts publishing a top 10 SoundScan digital singles chart for Canada, and many start to regard it as an official chart
2007 Billboard introduces the Canadian HOT 100, a combination of digital sales and radio airplay audience data and up until the present, it is regarded as Canada's official singles chart. Billboard also increases the Canadian SoundScan digital singles chart from 10 to 75 titles, and starts publishing the Canadian BDS airplay audience chart (75 titles). Both airplay and digital lists are only available to billboard/billboard.biz subscribers.
Late 2000's canoe.ca starts publishing the top 50 of the SoundScan digital singles chart, and continues to publish the SoundScan physical singles chart (only the top 20) and the top 100 BDS all-format airplay chart.

Thanks for posting the synopsis, jebsib.

Yes- in the late 90s/2000s, the Canadian singles chart- much like Hot 100 Singles Sales- had become a dire chart, with loads of hits not appearing. "Candle in the Wind 1997" spent three years in the top 20. And, a No. 1 on the chart was selling like 200 units at one time.

[Verisimilitude]

I also seem to recall the Soundscan singles chart separating different versions of singles available. For example, I think there were three different editions of Madonna's "Music" that hit #1 in 2000. ???

Nostalgia Kills, sorry it took me so many weeks to check back here, but ... FANTASTIC summary of the history of the Canadian charts - thank you so much!

As an ex-pat who has always wondered how things played out in my home country, it really answered some lingering questions that I could never get fully on the internet! Cheers!
