CBC Music has been a great resource for this blog for several years. Just this week, they released a list of songs that were hits ONLY in Canada.
ONLY in Canada.
Yes, there is a rule in Canada that a certain percentage of radio-broadcasted music has to be by Canadian artists, which makes Canada unique in promoting home-grown artists - and also makes a whole bunch of artists that are known ONLY in Canada.
This 2001 single - the debut by this Niagara Falls, Ontario pop-rock duo - was, indeed, a top 10 hit in Canada. It did get the song a Juno nomination (losing to Nickelback) and also a nomination for best new group, which it also lost.
The band broke up in 2003 to pursue other things, but they did reunite once, in 2016, at a Niagara Falls beer festival, and of course they performed their biggest hit.
