Contact 89fm had a Top 13 countdown of songs voted for by their listeners. In the early 1990's it was broadcast from 7-8pm on Sunday nights, but by the mid-1990's had moved to every Wednesday between 7 and 8pm. Shane Booker hosted the show for some years from around the mid-1990's, alternating with Kevin Glover from 1996 onwards.
The Top 13 was sponsored by Peachgrove Pharmacy in 1990, by Tracs in 1991, and then by Metropolis Cafe for a number of years. Demo Street Wear also sponsered at a later date.
The most successful song on the Top 13 was Risingson by Massive Attack, which spent over 10 weeks at number 1 and 26 weeks on the chart. Mutilated Lips by Ween spent over 3 months on the chart.
Through the early to mid-1990's, Hamilton bands typically had strong support from the listeners that was reflected in the Top 13.
