Description
This is an image of a music chart, specifically a CHUM Chart This record chart brochure shows the most popular songs in Canada from this time, and features Shirley Matthews with the fourth most popular song, "Big Town Boy." The CHUM Charts were an important part of being a Canadian musician, because as opposed to the RPM charts, there was a bigger trend of the main popular songs being made by Canadians such as Shirley Matthews. Shirley Matthews had some songs garner national success before her departure from the music industry, such as this song. Around this time, it was more common to see more Canadians on music charts, as opposed to American or British musicians due to radio stations playing more local artists.
