Launched in
1991 as "National Chart", the magazine was started byYork University students Edward Skira and Nada Laskovski as a tipsheet and airplay chart for campus radio stations in Canada. The magazine soon grew to include interviews, CD reviews and other features. "National Chart" was considered an internal publication for theNational Campus and Community Radio Association , Canada's association of campus radio stations, and was not available as a newsstand title.When Skira and Laskovski graduated, they incorporated "Chart" as an independent magazine, and began to pursue national newsstand distribution. Although it is no longer an NCRA publication, many campus radio stations continue to file airplay reports for the magazine's Top 50 chart.
