The R3-30

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The R3-30 is a weekly record chart show on CBC Radio 3, which counts down the week's top indie rock singles as determined by airplay, listener feedback and requests. The show, hosted by Craig Norris, airs at noon Eastern time (9 a.m. Pacific time) Saturdays on CBC Radio 3, and is repeated at various times through the following week. The program also airs on Sunday mornings from midnight to 3 a.m. on CBC Radio Two, though not as a simulcast.

The program was launched on August 26, 2006.

Songs that have hit the number one spot on the chart include Kinnie Starr's "Anything", Amy Millan's "Skinny Boy", The Stills' "Destroyer", Tokyo Police Club's "Citizens of Tomorrow", Chad VanGaalen's "Flower Gardens" and The Hidden Cameras' "Awoo".
