'''Chart Records''' was a [country music](/source/country_music) [record label](/source/record_label) of the 1960s, best known for turning [Lynn Anderson](/source/Lynn_Anderson) into a major country star. It was owned by [Slim Williamson](/source/Slim_Williamson).

The label was founded in [1964](/source/1964_in_music). Among the artists who recorded at one time for the label were [Kenny Vernon](/source/Kenny_Vernon), [Johnny Bush](/source/Johnny_Bush), [Junior Samples](/source/Junior_Samples), [Del Wood](/source/Del_Wood), [Maxine Brown](/source/Maxine_Brown_(country_singer)), [Jim Nesbitt](/source/Jim_Nesbitt), [Connie Eaton](/source/Connie_Eaton), [Lynn Anderson](/source/Lynn_Anderson), [Red Sovine](/source/Red_Sovine), [Billy "Crash" Craddock](/source/Billy_%22Crash%22_Craddock), [LaWanda Lindsey](/source/LaWanda_Lindsey), [Anthony Armstrong Jones](/source/Anthony_Armstrong_Jones) and Doug Koempel.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.chartrecords.net/ChartHistoryEnd.html |title = Chart Records History - The Buddah Years}}</ref> Many of the labels' vocalists were quite young, teenagers or in their early twenties, quite unusual during the 1960s for a country music label.

Chart was distributed by [RCA Victor](/source/RCA_Victor) for several years during the 1960s and early 1970s. Today, [Gusto Records](/source/Gusto_Records) owns the Chart Records catalogue except for the recordings by Lynn Anderson, which is owned by [Sony Music Entertainment](/source/Sony_Music_Entertainment) (the current owner of RCA Records), and has reissued a number of the recordings on CD.

The publishing arms of Chart Records were Yonah Music (BMI) and Peach Music (SESAC).
