Valley Peaks’ ‘When You Know Someone’ Tops Canadian Modern Rock Airplay Chart
Valley, the Toronto band, has reached a commendable position on the Billboard Canada Airplay charts this week. Their lively track “When You Know Someone” remains in the No. 6 spot on the Modern Rock chart for a second consecutive week. The song exudes an infectious yet melancholic vibe that resonates with listeners.
Featured on their 2024 album, “Water the Flowers, Pray for a Garden,” “When You Know Someone” is a standout single that captures the band’s essence. The lyrics, sung by lead vocalist Rob Laska, seem to reflect the complex emotions surrounding the departure of their former bandmate and friend, Mickey Brandolino. The trio, consisting of Laska, bassist Alex Dimauro, and drummer Karah James, has truly found their rhythm and musical identity through this release.
Expressing their exhilaration for maintaining a Top 10 position on the chart after spending 20 weeks on it, Valley took to Instagram to share their gratitude. The band’s success on the charts is not an isolated occurrence, as other Canadian artists are also making waves. Vancouver duo Fionn climbs to No. 10 with their track “Blow,” while JJ Wilde’s “Mess to Make” and Mother Mother’s “Make Believe” break into the Top 10 and No. 12 spots, respectively.
Moreover, emerging Canadian country musicians are making their mark on the charts. Tyler Joe Miller’s “Doin’ What She Does” makes a debut at No. 49 on the All Format chart, alongside Robyn Ottolini, who enters at No. 50 on Canada Country with “Airplane Bottle.” Toronto’s renforshort and Texas King also make appearances on the CHR/Top 40 chart with “feeling good” and “Ultraviolet,” respectively.
At the pinnacle of the charts, Alex Warren secures the No. 1 position on All-Format, AC, and Hot AC with “Ordinary.” Meanwhile, Shaboozey achieves a new peak at No. 2 on All Format with “Good News.” With hits like “That’s So True” by Gracie Abrams and “Pink Pony Club” by Chappell Roan at No. 4 and No. 5, the CHR/Top 40 chart boasts a lineup of chart-toppers.
In the realm of country music, Morgan Wallen’s “Just In Case” reaches the No. 1 spot on Canada Country, while Papa Roach dethrones Green Day on Mainstream Rock with “Even If It Kills Me.” The Canadian airplay charts provide a comprehensive view of the diverse musical landscape, showcasing the talent and creativity of artists across different genres.
Valley’s success on the Modern Rock chart is a testament to their musical prowess and ability to connect with audiences. As they continue to make their mark on the music scene, it’s evident that their unique sound and heartfelt lyrics will resonate with listeners around the world.
