The Tragically Hip reaches No. 3 on Canadian mainstream rock airplay chart with newly discovered hit.
The Tragically Hip’s song ‘Wait So Long’ has made its mark on the Billboard Canada Mainstream Rock airplay chart, reaching number 3 in its 15th week. Originally recorded for their 1989 debut album ‘Up To Here,’ the track was only released last year after being shelved for 35 years. With its classic Hip sound, featuring a driving beat and powerful vocals by the late Gord Downie, the song has been steadily climbing the airplay chart and could potentially dethrone Three Days Grace’s ‘Mayday’ for the top spot.
In other airplay chart news, Post Malone and Luke Combs have soared to number 1 on the Canada Country chart with their song ‘Guy For That.’ The track, which talks about the ease of finding a guy to fix your car but not your heart, marks Post Malone’s third chart-topper on the country chart in the past year. The rest of the airplay charts remain relatively unchanged, with Myles Smith reigning on multiple charts with ‘Stargazing’ and ROSE and Bruno Mars dominating the CHR/Top 40 chart with ‘APT.’
Canadian artists are also making waves on the airplay charts, with Alexander Stewart’s new entry ‘His Problem Instead’ climbing the ranks on the All-Format and CHR/Top 40 charts. Stewart, a rising artist in Canada, has another entry on the CHR chart with his collab ‘Crossfire.’ Additionally, Stewart’s recent Juno nominations for breakthrough artist and best pop album further solidify his status as a promising talent in the Canadian music scene.
Devon Cole and Preston Pablo are also experiencing success on the airplay charts, with their songs ‘I Got You’ and ‘One Last Song’ climbing the AC chart. B.C. producers SVNSETS and Toronto’s renforshort have also made their mark on the CHR/Top 40 chart with their latest releases. Madeline Merlo and Tim Hicks are shining on the Country Airplay chart, while Ruby Waters and Valley are making moves on the Canada Modern Rock chart.
Overall, Canadian artists are making significant strides on the airplay charts, with their diverse sounds and talent garnering attention on both domestic and international platforms. With their chart-topping hits and critical acclaim, these artists are showcasing the vibrant and dynamic music scene in Canada.
