Our charts

Our music director, P-Bone, compiles the charts weekly, based on what CKXU 88.3 FM deejays have been playing. This information is then sent to the record labels that supply us with music, as well as !Earshot, and Dusted Magazine, which use our charts, along with charts from across Canada and North America, to compile their own charts.

Without further ado:
