Vancouver Top 100: 1998 to 2000

Vancouver’s CKLG switched from Top 40 radio in the mid-90s. However, it returned to a Top 40 radio format in 1998 into the fall of 2000. I’ve been able to research the weekly CKLG surveys from July 1998 to October 2000. Here are 100 songs that charted well in Vancouver, notably outperforming any chart appearance on the Billboard Hot 100 in the USA. Starting in the fall of 2026, I will begin to review these songs along with other hits from radio markets across Canada.
