''ChartAttack'' is a Canadian online music publication. Formerly a monthly print magazine called ''Chart'', which was published from 1991 to 2009, the web version continues operation.〔(''Chart'' goes paperless ), ''eye weekly'', January 15, 2009.〕 Launched in 1991 as ''National Chart'', the magazine was started by York University students Edward Skira and Nada Laskovski as a tipsheet and airplay chart for campus radio stations in Canada.〔(June 3, 2000). "Charting a success story: From eight-page newsletter to 70-page glossy, Chart has grown along with the decade's music", ''Toronto Star'', p. M2.〕〔Flynn, Andrew (May 14, 2000). "Chart magazine makes it 10: Little publication grew strong by focussing on Canuck music", Canadian Press. Reprinted in ''The Daily News'', p. 29.〕 The magazine soon grew to include interviews, CD reviews and other features. ''National Chart'' was considered an internal publication for the National 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 was no longer an NCRA publication, many campus radio stations continued to file airplay reports for the magazine's Top 50 chart. The magazine's primary focus was Canadian alternative rock and indie rock, although they profiled important international acts, and rap and pop music acts as well. At its peak, the magazine had a press run of 40,000 copies per issue, making it the largest paid circulation music magazine in Canada in its era.〔 The magazine ceased publishing a print edition in 2009, continuing as a web-only publication. The website briefly suspended publication in summer 2011, but its acquisition by andPOP, a Canadian entertainment news website, was announced on November 1, 2011.〔("Video Saves the Radio Star - Online Video Poised to Revive Indie Music Site" ). ''MediaCaster'', November 1, 2011.〕 In 2013, andPop was in turn acquired by Channel Zero.〔("Channel Zero Acquires Controlling Interest in ANDPOP" ). ''Broadcaster'', June 11, 2013.〕 ==Reader polls== In 1996, 2000 and 2005, the magazine conducted polls of readers, musicians and music industry professionals to determine the 50 best Canadian albums and songs of all time. There were 25 albums and 18 songs which ranked in the top 50 in all three polls. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「ChartAttack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
