The Southern Ontario/WNY Radio-TV Forum / Anyone Remember Q107's "Music Chart?"

CHUM inarguably had the most famous chart in Toronto, with CKOC likely a close second in the GTHA.

But does anyone remember when Q107 put out a sort of chart of its own? It wasn't a Top 40 ranking, of course, but instead it listed the top albums in the city, along with concert information. I think it was available in some record stores, but as I recall, it didn't last long.

Here's a look at the Q107 "Street Sheet" from August 1979. Particularly of note: that year's on air line-up, along with other features that aired on the station. I had no idea Ted Woloshyn was on from 6-10:30 AM. What an odd shift.

Breakfast in America is the first album I recall owning, at the ripe old age of nine years old 😄

I looked over the entire posting, and there is no mention of Heart?! That's unpossible! 😳

Q107 had a Top 20 album chart published in the Toronto Sun for a while in the early '80s.

I remember when the CHUM Chart got published in the Sun after they stopped making individual copies. I don't recall the Q107 entry.

Im currently seeking out classic AM790 charts circa late 70's into the early 80's. Does anyone have access to these?
