CHUM #1 Albums

The CHUM Chart - better known as a listing for 45 RPM records - also contained an album listing at different times during its 29-year run.

The CHUM album chart first appeared as a Top 10 listing the week of March 16, 1959, and disappeared after the chart of October 17, 1960. The album chart returned with a Top 5 listing called the CHUM Album Index on May 27, 1963. That feature ended with the chart of January 30, 1967 (oddly, just as album rock was getting big!).

The album chart returned with the chart of May 8, 1971, as a Top 10 listing, and continued until April 27, 1972. The following week - May 4 - it became a Top 15 listing. That continued until the last personal chart on April 26, 1975, and continued on with the newspaper chart until the last on May 26, 1979.

The longest-running #1 album (consecutive weeks) was the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack, which was #1 for 21 consecutive weeks in 1978. Fleetwood Mac's Rumours was #1 for 22 non-consecutive weeks in 1977 (#1 for six weeks, then dropping to #3 for one week, then #1 for 16 consecutive weeks).

Note: A CHUM album listing, but not a formal ranking or chart, appeared on the CHUM Chart from August 10, 1968 to November 8, 1969.

Here are the #1 albums on the CHUM Chart:
