RPM charts

On June 11, 1995, Canadian music magazine RPM began publishing a weekly alternative rock music chart under the name Alternative 30.[1] The song which held the number-one spot on this first chart was "More Human than Human" by White Zombie.

The chart took a break from December 14, 1998, to April 11, 1999,[2] and returned on April 12 under the new name Rock Report.[3] "Free Girl Now" by Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers debuted at the top of this newly named chart. On October 25, 1999, the chart made a slight change to the name Top 30 Rock Report.[4] The chart kept this name until it was published for the last time on November 6, 2000, due to the ceasing of the RPM magazine's publication.[5] The charts published by RPM are archived by Library and Archives Canada.

Radio & Records charts

On April 16, 2004, the trade publication, Radio & Records partnered with Mediabase to launch five airplay charts in Canada, including a Rock chart.[6]

NBDS charts

Currently, the only charts that record rock/alternative airplay in Canada are published by Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems.[7]
