Charts

The CKFH Chart started in 1967 as the "Centennial Survey." It was re-named the "Pop 35" in 1968 and then, in January 1970, the "Big 30" was born. The "Big 30" was published until August 28, 1972, when it was discontinued.

We're looking to fill several gaps in this section. If you have a CKFH Chart that we don't have, please contact us at dale_patterson@hotmail.com.
