Notes
  1. The magazine's weekly record charts were digitized by the AV Trust. The collection is archived by Library and Archives Canada here.
    The PDF text search does not work unless you have additional software installed. You must view each entry on the chart for a match.
  2. A collection of all the .pdf files cited is available here.
  3. On 21 March 1966, the chart became the RPM 100, as expanded to the top 100 singles.
  4. RPM did not publish 1 January 1972, or indicate an issue number covering this date, therefore charting for that week is implied.
