RPM (1964–2000) and Billboard (1996–present) are among the providers of music charts in Canada.

The Canadian music charts are a collection of record charts reflecting the music consumption of people in Canada. RPM, The Record, and Billboard are among the publications to have published Canadian national charts over the decades. However, the first Canadian music chart was published by radio station CHUM AM in 1957. The oldest music publication in Canada, RPM featured music charts from 1964 to 2000.

Nielsen SoundScan began tracking retail sales in November 1996. It was published every Wednesday and also published on Thursday by Jam!/Canoe. The singles chart also appeared in Billboard until March 2006, when Billboard stopped publishing the retail singles chart in favor of the Canadian Digital Song Sales chart. The Canadian Hot 100 was launched by Billboard on June 7, 2007, and remains the standard music chart in Canada for songs, alongside Billboard Canadian Albums for albums.
