On January 10, 1998, sister station CHUM-FM, which airs a hot adult contemporary format, revived the CHUM Chart name for a new countdown show.
[7] One band, Mack Truck and the Exhaust Fumes, appeared as a hit-bound entry on the CHUM Chart of September 19, 1966 despite not actually existing.
Later tellings of the story had McAdorey being astonished when the song indeed started rising up the chart on the basis of listener requests and orders from record stores.
[9] A similar stunt was tried the following year with a second nonexistent Mack Truck track called "It's Christmas Once Again", which appeared for one week as a hit-bound on December 18, 1967.
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.
After the April 26, 1975 CHUM hit parade, the brochure was discontinued, and each week's chart was instead published in the entertainment section of the Toronto Sun until the end of 1976.
Mike Myers, Gordon Lightfoot, Dick Clark and Dave Thomas all reportedly owned collections of CHUM Charts.
