Canada did not have a national singles chart until mid-1964. Below, from various sources, are big hits by Canadian artists that made the year-end charts. Because the sources are different and different charts calculate the relative positions of the songs by different means, take the positions with a grain of salt. We place them here simply to give an idea of some of the more popular songs of the early 1960s. We have also added songs listed in Oh Canada What a Feeling a Musical Odyssey by Martin Melhuish.
