Top 100 Singles of 1967
The Alternate List

On January 1st 1968, CHUM played the annual list of the years top songs, and as was common back then put the list on the next CHUM Chart dated Jan. 1 1968. There were a lot of local aritsts on the weekly charts in 1967, but only 3 made the cut. On a holiday weekend in 1972 CHUM played back the top 100 songs for each year 1967-1971. The only problem was that the 1967 list had no relationship on what thier orginal list was (every other one was) and the top 20 was very close to the "Cashbox" top 20. Here's a look at the 1972 version of the "top 100 of 1967" For many years until aquiring a copy the the Jan. 1/68 chart, I took the 1972 list as the offical year end chart, thus if you are a long time viewer of this site you will notice the change.

The revised (1972) CHUM list inspired me -- Using the 'inverse point system" (50 points for #1, 49 for #2 etc.)-- to compile a chart based on the chart positions of the weekly surveys. Ties have been broken based on the highest position, then on most total weeks on the charts.
There were 393 songs that appeared on the charts and here are the Top 100.
