Josh Ross dominating country radio with success of ‘Hate How You Look’

Josh Ross has taken the country radio charts by storm with his latest single, “Hate How You Look,” making a strong debut at No. 46 on the Billboard Canada Country Airplay chart. The Canadian artist has been making waves in the music scene, recently winning two awards at the Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA) Awards and releasing his debut album, “Later Tonight.”

The track itself is an infectious up-tempo song that delves into the emotions surrounding a breakup and moving on. With lyrics like, “Hate how you look in that one that you know I love red dress,” and “Girl, I hate how you look moving on,” Ross showcases his signature raspy vocals accompanied by a rock-infused sound that sets him apart from other artists. Despite the provocative title, Ross explains that the song is more of a compliment to the subject, rather than a mean-spirited jab.

Having already found success on the U.S. Country Airplay chart with his previous single, “Single Again,” which peaked at No. 2, Ross is now positioning himself for greater global recognition with “Hate How You Look.” The track’s ascent on the charts is a testament to Ross’s growing popularity and appeal across borders.

Meanwhile, The Beaches, an all-female rock band from Toronto, have also made their mark on the music scene with their latest track, “Can I Call You In The Morning?” entering the Mainstream Rock chart at No. 36. The song, which serves as the final single off their third studio album, “No Hard Feelings,” is a high-energy punk-rock anthem that showcases the band’s transparent lyricism and infectious melodies.

Frontwoman Jordan Miller’s catchy chorus, “I liked your old band, but not the new songs, should we just break up then? Nevermind, I don’t mean that/I’m sorry, can I call you in the morning?” captures the essence of the song, inspired by personal experiences. The track’s success on the charts highlights The Beaches’ growing popularity and recognition in the rock music scene.

This week also sees many other Canadian artists making their mark on the charts, including James Barker Band, Marc Dupré, Felix Cartal, Rêve, Morgan Klaiber, and The Dirty Nil. These artists are gaining recognition across various formats, from All-Format to Mainstream Rock, showcasing the diverse and vibrant music scene in Canada.

As the charts continue to evolve, with artists like Alex Warren, Sabrina Carpenter, Justin Bieber, Bailey Zimmerman, and Luke Combs dominating various genres, it’s clear that Canadian talent is making its mark on the global music landscape. From country to rock, pop to electro dance-pop, Canadian artists are showcasing their talent and unique sound to audiences worldwide, solidifying their place in the music industry.
