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 the early 1990's, then by Metropolis Cafe for a number of years, and also Tracs and Demo Street Wear at various times.
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.
