Jelly Roll’s ‘Liar’ Dominates Billboard Canada Airplay Charts
Nashville’s Jelly Roll is currently dominating the Billboard Canada All-Format airplay chart with his powerful single “Liar.” After spending 11 weeks on the chart, “Liar” has secured the top spot, surpassing Morgan Wallen’s “Love Somebody,” which now sits at No. 2. Myles Smith’s “Stargazing,” a previous chart-topper, has now dropped to the fourth position. Additionally, “Liar” has also claimed the leading position on the Canada Country chart, despite not strictly adhering to a traditional country sound. Jelly Roll’s unique blend of country with hip-hop, rock, and pop influences sets “Liar” apart, with its soulful blues undertones and palpable emotion.
The poignant lyrics of “Liar” explore themes of betrayal with a raw and intense vocal delivery by Jelly Roll. The track exudes a mix of righteous anger and unwavering resilience, reminiscent of classic Adele ballads from another era. In the current music landscape, characterized by male vocal powerhouses like Teddy Swims and Benson Boone, “Liar” is making waves and earning significant airplay. The song has secured the 33rd position on the Billboard Canadian Hot 100, with potential to climb even higher as it garners more radio attention.
In a parallel development on the CHR/Top 40 chart, Canadian artist Alex Porat has entered at No. 39 with her track “Face Like Yours.” The upbeat indie pop song features a clever hook that delves into the idea of a person’s appearance not aligning with their personality, echoing the infectious energy of Olivia Rodrigo’s music. Managed by Laurie Lee Boutet and her Wednesday Management, Porat is poised for a breakthrough, following in the footsteps of successful acts like The Beaches. With the current momentum on radio, Porat’s career may see a significant boost in the near future.
Moreover, across other genre-specific airplay charts, Myles Smith continues to dominate the Canada AC chart with “Stargazing,” while Chappell Roan’s “Pink Pony Club” has claimed the No. 1 spot on the CHR/Top 40 chart. ROSÉ and Bruno Mars lead the Hot AC chart with their collaboration “APT,” while “Mayday” by Three Days Grace and “Nobody’s Soldier” by Hozier maintain their positions atop the Mainstream Rock and Modern Rock charts, respectively.
Overall, “Liar” by Jelly Roll has made a powerful statement on the airplay charts, showcasing the artist’s versatility and unique fusion of genres. With its emotional depth and compelling vocal delivery, the track has resonated with audiences and secured a well-deserved place at the top of the charts. As the music landscape continues to evolve, both Jelly Roll and Alex Porat are poised to make a lasting impact on the industry with their distinctive sounds and captivating storytelling.
