List of number-one singles of 2006 (Canada)

Starting in March, however, Nielsen Entertainment Canada created the Canadian Digital Songs Chart, which tracked sales of digital music downloads, and Billboard stopped publishing the Canadian Singles Chart in favor of the new chart.^[2] Despite this, the physical singles chart continued to be published on Jam!.

These two singles charts were the only ones Canadians had until June 2007, when the Canadian Hot 100 was released to the public. Both also list other big hits in the sales chart.

Note that Billboard publishes charts with an issue date approximately 7–10 days in advance.
